It was continued here and there throughout this board.I see posts from people who courteously agree with the suggestion that the Lumponian posts be moved; several people who don't even participate stated the case for no censureship, and then there was at least one very elegant post by coral making her case for non-banishment. Two people expressed that they felt left out of socialpsychobabble. I think it was a pretty even exchange. So, I am curious, who is the vocal minority? Could you name them; I truely don't get it.
Well, to be quite personal, most of the times that I read your posts they are so kind and giving, but gosh, if you get crossed in any way, watch out, you lash back with a lot of defensiveness and anger.
I realize here I am going outside of the norm here by directly addressing someone about something negative, but there have been so many accusations pointing to no one in particular, I felt like I should be specific. Why do I care? Mostly, as an observation, nothing more. It is not meant to hurt your feelings (although I do realize I might); but maybe to point out that when bad feelings are felt; they are often returned in even greater magnitude. As opposed to saying "that made me feel bad........" and promoting greater understanding.
