Dear Beardy,
You know, this all started from a very small noticing of mine. I took exception to a part of Andy's post , and told him so. That's all. Elizabeth noted it as well. I don't know that Andy intended it to be condescending; I just made mention that it came across that way. That's *all.*
People need to distinguish between a what is a personal attack and what isn't. Mostly, I've noticed on this board, it isn't.
Andy's next post, however, was. I don't see any retraction. Yet. Something's out of whack, here. Created in part by the very population who think they're there to help. Truth be told, more likely drawn to even the hint of conflict, moths to a candleflame.
So now you've got well-meaning people taking sides. Poor ____ fill in the blank, in this case Andy, WE think yo're wonderful even if SHE does not. Huh?
I think what we got here are polarity junkies.
And I'm saying, It doesn't Serve.
You'd agree with that, wouldn't you, Beardy? People take sides, thinking that is compassion. . .when sides are the last thing we need. Really. Sides are the very last thing.
Fondly,
Zo
