Tsuwm,
True, this is a word site but any site is nothing without the people in it.
Something quite traumatizing happened last week. People needed to discuss it and this is the place we chose - why, because we have become friends and there is great comfort among friends.
I'm sorry if you are angered by this tsuwm and I really wish you would see the underlying factor behind all these posts. People need to talk it out.
True, this is not a chat room but where is it written that the boundaries cannot be smudged a little for the well being of several individuals. The eternal question isn’t it…what is more important… “the needs of the few over the needs of the many OR the needs of the many over the needs of the few.” (Personal opinion…I think there is no real answer and that it depends on the situation.)
The threads have mostly managed to stay in the I&A section so as not to trouble anyone wanting to avoid the subject and if you notice, the volume in the other sections has started to get back to normal.
"This too shall pass." Wise words indeed.
Xara sweetie. I know that these times are trying but I ask you one favour (yes even though I have no right to). Please look back over the year you have been here. You’ll see that Maverick, CapK, MaxQ and the rest of the guys are really great people and not prone to racism, elitism, religionistic or nationalistic bashing. They are great guys.
It is so easy, and understandable, to misinterpret a tongue-in-cheek post or comment when in a state of tension. And isn’t everybody in a state of tension these days. People are trying to come to terms with what happen and what is about to happen and many are afraid. There is no universal truth Xara but there is one truth you can set your hat on…the guys here are good people. If you feel slighted send them a note. I am sure they will clear it up and you will find it was a misunderstanding.
