Final Warning
The admin team is having a tough time with what is going on in this thread. We are sympathetic to the importance and sensitivity of the topic; we're also sympathetic to the feelings of the members here.
Flat out... Some of you have made this entirely too personal *against* other members, and that's just not okay.
If you have a beef you'd like to discuss in private, then please do so. Other than that, the "going at other members" must stop; failure to do so will result in a timeout.
If you choose to participate in a discussion of this nature, then you must also accept that others will disagree with you. That doesn't always feel good, but you need to be a big enough person to accept that as reality. That said, disagreeing with someone does NOT look like insult, criticism, or berating. It can be done in a respectful manner.
If someone apologizes for something they said or chooses to leave the conversation, then accept that and move on. Quit beating dead horses. It's a waste of energy, and it does nothing to further productive discussion.
Finally, have *this* discussion *here*. Take private matters private. Do NOT take hurt feelings from this thread and sprinkle poop dust around the site. It's childish, and it's not fair to the rest of the community.
Again, this is a final moderation warning. Keep it clean and about the original topic, or just move on.
As always, contact me via PM with legitimate questions or concerns regarding this moderation.
