  • Ravelry

1/22/19

I've been contemplating deleting my Ravelry account. While the resources are excellent, the site has become a cesspool of politics and overall nastiness. Let me start by saying that I am not American and have no dog in the fight, but I can't fail to see the Trump hate that has seeped into every crevice of the site. The owners certainly play favouritism, often being very rude and unfair to conservatives while allowing the liberals free reign to abuse their political opponents. I just want a fibre craft site to be just that - leave the politics outside please. Worse than the blatant left leaning favouritism, is the way the forums are completely overtaken by the long time regulars who can be absolutely mean. Sure there are nice and helpful regulars, but the negative ones spoil it and turn everything into a confrontation. If you are a Trump hater, you'll feel right at home. If you support him, better stay out of the main forums and stick to the pattern searches. I'm neither a Trump hater nor supporter, I'm just really sick of the fights and the attacks and the way the owners don't stay neutral.
