Feminists

I am a little disconcerted, to be honest, by this:

"This thread is a warning, please keep these discussions in H&M or in the pinned threads. Please calm down. The fact that you are still here is a miracle, and I'm surprised you haven't caught on to that."

I was very upset by the way you were treated. While I believe there was trouble coming from both sides, I believed your actions were those of defense, however much I disagreed with them. I still do. That said, I always tell my children the corny line "You catch more flies with sugar..." and it's true. To be honest, this paragraph by you makes me as fearful to be a part of the Feminist forum as I was before the dust up. I know you are upset, but please be the mature one and don't stoop to that level. I don't want to be a part of that either. I guess I don't have to be, but I was very hopeful when I made my earlier post...that this forum could be a welcoming arena to discuss the issues.

When I read through the post from EarlG to you, I was so excited...because I knew you were going to go with option 3...only you didn't. I think you would have been surprised at how much support (myself included) you would have had with that option and a vote.

I truly do wish you the best of luck with your forum. I guess I was hoping calm and cool would prevail and it would be truly "Our" forum, and not this one or that one's or this group's.


Take care,

Laura
