I have issues with the show, certain characters, and certain aspects of the fandom and I really found there was no place comfortable enough to discuss these things. Or for others to discuss what they want to in comfort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example: A lot of people I know had an issue with the finale. But all I have found was a lot of ranting and little substance. And I like substance. I like Avatar discussions where people use examples, keep an open mind to opposing viewpoints, and are respectful to each other. I fully expect there to be passion in these discussions, but not the kind of passion that inspires a rant basically consisting of &amp;quot;Aang is a prick.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This community I hope will continue on through the release of the new Avatar comics and Korra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what are the rules?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically don&apos;t bash (characters, ships, etc.), think of this as a debate club or that you are doing research for something at work (basically don&apos;t half ass your arguments and replies. Make them meaningful), and keep an open mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you get out of control or I have to repeatedly warn you, I will ban you from the community. I don&apos;t care what you ship, what characters you like, etc. just be nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I might occasionally post topics to discuss if I feel there is too much focus on some things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your posts and membership will be on a mod approved basis for the time being. Not for censorship reasons, but because I want to see if people are getting the hang of it. I might just not mod approve posts at all initially and go from there. And I will appoint a co-mod for this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=atla_sanity&amp;ditemid=267&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
