Kylin,
I am not sure if you are addressing me specifically, but I think you might be, so I'll try to clear things up. I think there is a significant difference between what I wrote and what you may be picking up. I hope this is not an issue that will come up repeatedly, since I do my best to genuinely present myself as a good mannered individual. I care about that reputation, and I will seriously approach claims of the opposite that don't have clear evidence. I will walk through the post to elaborate any points which may have rubbed you the wrong way so that we're left on a better ground.
>Note that I said I generally trust the administration to do the right thing.
>I also never said you caved on anything, that word was never used in my posts. I do believe you acted on a request, which is generally a good thing don't get me wrong. In this instance though, it proved to be a little overkill... and I think we can both agree to that if cooler minds prevail. Heck that's why the Pub section will be used instead of simply killing off any comments.Â
>I am not sure what quasi-witch hunt means, but I certainly think an individual should be responsible for his or her claims or points of view. For example the idea of "competition" among groups in this community should not be endorsed but eliminated. It is a toxic idea, and those who even have that notion in their heads should be ashamed. I stand by this.
>I don't find their concerns legitimate. You have but to look at other posts in this thread by LS leaders and well respected individuals in this community for all the reasons why it's not.
>I do apologize for using the word "minority" - I have no clue how many people feel that "bumping" as it currently stands is a problem. Given the replies here though I don't believe it to be a majority, but that's neither here nor there.
I hope that we can move forward without wrong assumptions about each other. Again, I am sorry for hurting feelings (if any were hurt), I am just a bit surprised by administrative action due to these particular claims. I still trust you and Ellie as leaders, I know it may not mean much coming from a newbie of the group, but I just want to assure you that I do not disrespect you because of something minor like this. The Pub section should be a good addition to the forumsÂ
