Do as you wish, Holly. I didn't realize that this thread was a hill you'd die on.

If there has been a misunderstanding, then all it takes is a polite apology if something was misconstrued. Perhaps a little humor. Sometimes words fail us, and convey a message we hadn't intended. We all do it accidentally at one time or another.

Since this is a forum of mature adults, and this is a community that enjoys the camaraderie of being passed it, surely there is a way to converse without the angst? This applies to both sides of it. Right-fighting is rarely worthwhile. There are no winners reading through all this. At least none I can see.
it's not the hill I will die on.that's for sure.. but someone will and it won't be me... I'm not the one spoiling this thread with personal attacks towards myself and Seebreeze..and I will not allow it to continue.. this is a thread I started on a subject for debate.. not one for making personal attacks which are completely disallowed here , and even after many requests this person refuses to stop... so further steps have to be taken in order for other people to be able to enjoy a debate without witnessing childish playground name calling

Well, I'm certainly not going to continue to go back and forth on this, I'd simply become part of the problem. :D

From what I've read, someone interpreted a post as being an accusation of racism. That being the case, it seems to have been questioned. Now, one could either say, "yes, I could have written that differently, I didn't intend to accuse you of being a racist, sorry about that". Or they could double down and continue to throw gasoline on the fire. A member felt they had been labelled incorrectly, surely you would question it if the same was applied to you? I know I would. Racism is pretty heavy stuff.

Now, I'm not saying you're bad and the other person is not. Honestly, I don't care. I'm not emotionally invested in this thread. I hate for anyone to get banned unless they're an out and out troll. I'd just much rather we all get along. How about confirming that you don't think the other person is a racist, and leaving it at that?

I'm just making a final stab at calming things down. Hate to see you, and others, caught up in this negativity. We could all be dead by the time this resolves. :D

Still, enough from me, I'm going to crawl back into my hole now.

yes as you say you know very little about what's actually going on.. but anyone reading this thread can see the personal attacks are coming only from ONE person.. and not for the first time on this forum.. and they are expressly not permitted... enough is enough...
 

Well, I'm certainly don't want to lose any friends myself, so I'll ignore this topic from now on. I was just trying to help.
