Aw, Shadows, I'm not saying there hasn't been a lot of hurt. I understand that and it grieves me horribly to see this happening to people I care about.
Unfortunately for me, I see some good in fires, too. It would be so much easier if I saw it as black and white.
So, to me it's like a fight in the family.
The examples you cite are awful, and if it was all I saw, I'd be all for running him out on a rail.
And I can see where this has hit home to you and others. I don't know how it *feels* to you exactly, but it's gotta be bad.
But taking single posts out of a thead, to me, doesn't seem to make a full picture.
I brought up a critique of this thread because it is one that started out reasonably and went south. I since we have someone that knows about online conflict it might be useful for everyone to have it examined and see if it can be avoided in the future.
And for what it's worth, I can concede that I might be reading this whole thing wrong. I don't know where it first started - where the first cross words were spoken. Sure wish I could find it.
Peace??
