I feel very offended that you interpreted my words in that way... To the best of my knowledge nobody else did. Or if they did... Surely a more mature way to handle things would have been for someone to say they felt hurt and give me the change to put things right...It's not always easy to handle hurt in a mature way. Some people just leave. I'd prefer for them not to feel hurt in the first place.
It's necessary to have some rules. Having rules means making judgments. Making judgments means deciding that some posts are against the rules. Deciding that posts are against the rules hurts those posters. Ergo, unfortunately, it's necessary to hurt some posters.
