Reply #51: I hear what is being said, but it's being misunderstood.

I gave additional information to make sure people know what I actually meant and that it was actually done per request of a GBLT OP anyway. I'm backing off personally and suggesting people check themselves.

I can see why people took it the way they did, but I never said anyone in the GLBT community shouldn't talk about it, just that we need to not attack each other and have to watch that behavior very carefully in this instance because it's been a real hard time for the GLBT community and it seems to me it's potentially a way for there to become a big rift.

This form of dialog has it's limitations and it has caused permanent rifts for certain causes or individuals and the membership here has dropped, a lot. There may be many reasons for that, but DUers eating their own does cause people to leave. I've seen post after post about people leaving because of it. I myself am considering finding a more productive board. I won't forget the causes, but I don't need to be put down for trying to help.
