Just weighing in that from what I can tell, most of us identify as 'pro-mage', though only a few are as extreme as a lot of the pro-whatevers out there. Generally, it's a highly reformed Circle standpoint I feel, which is what I believe in.
I feel the same way. The idea of it is good, but I don't like how it turned into teaching to self loathe and hunt them down, instead of teaching mages to safely hone their powers. Even if the chantry is abolished in some way, I think there should still be a way to protect the general public from bad magisters.
