Yes we all have a right to our opinions but no right to be offensive.

Andrew
I have ALWAYS tried to understand your reasonings and posts when a lot of people jump to the wrong conclusion,or flat out attack you,but your last post was totally a "fuck you" in my eyes to all of "US" single moms...and to me personally because i am the SINGLE mother of a MALE child. You are right everyone is entitled to their own opinion...i guess kinda like everyone has the right to be an asshole! |

![]() Ladies and Gentlemen, I was only stating my own personal opinion. I apologize if I offended anyone with my opinion. This evening my neighbors and I were chatting about this case over dinner, and everyone agreed with my opinion. I am really surprised that folks here were offended because when chatting about this, some of the neighbors were single mothers. I am now leaving this thread. Andrew |

We're receiving reported posts from this thread. Let's steer clear of any dog-piling situations while the mod team sorts this out.
We'll be back. Thanks. Thinker (moderator)

Personally, I'm done with reading this thread for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I may say something out of line and be considered a vigilante and it will be viewed as inappropriate (even though in my mind I feel differently) and I'm saying that openly here.
In time the truth will come out because it usually has a way of doing so. Lastly, and most importantly, rest in peace sweet little Caylee. You're an angel in heaven and will not be forgotten. ![]() ![]() ![]() - Scorp (unsubscribing from this thread) |

I'm going to steal a page out of June's play book and go through these posts with you; some are problematic and some are not.

It really was a gross statement to make. Quote:
A reply like this isn't helpful. It doesn't do anything to further the conversation in a constructive manner, and it can be read as insulting too. Quote:

I understand the feelings involved here, but I believe we can always do better (and you initially did) than resorting to name-calling. Once we go down that road, the person whom we most want to hear us is no longer listening. Quote:
Try to avoid the leaving announcement though. I don't believe anyone here wanted you to leave because you said that. I think they wanted you to understand why it was so offensive to them. Quote:
As I was working on this post I kept thinking to myself, "I hope no one sees this as condescending." I give you my word there is nothing uppity or all-knowing about sharing out this way. It really is our hope that members here will be able to have hard discussions with one another without always resorting to the "report" button. If we are able to do that then that means we have said difficult things to one another and we have LISTENED to things that might be hurtful without resorting to name-calling, without feeling stepped to, without feeling personally attacked, etc... A lot of this shit isn't easy, and it's rarely easy to put personal feelings aside when interacting with another member........and it seems damn near impossible to just ignore the posts of people we don't care for! ![]() We've come a long friggin' way, and the mod/admin team has seen a drop in reports because so many of you are really thinking about what you've written down before you hit the SUBMIT REPLY button. Thank you for that, by the way. ![]() So let's get back on track here. If you have any questions about this moderation, please contact one of us via PM so as not to further derail this very important discussion. Thinker (moderator)

As to the UK.......in criminal cases the burden of proof is on the prosecution just like in the US. I lived in New Zealand for a year and their judicial system is just as good as ours. Actually I was far less suspicious of the po po (police) when I lived there.....they did not come armed and they knock politely on the door instead of banging on the door with a flashlight. They didn't try to get in the house and were very apologetic for waking me up at midnight. The guy they were looking for did not live at that address any longer. This idea of US exceptionalism.........we are the best, have the best, work the hardest, have the best system of governing, etc......makes me bonkers. Plus it's insulting to the rest of the world that operate as democracies. As near as I can tell a number of those democracies work better than ours depending on what indicators you look at. None of them have the death penalty and they all have universal health care for everyone paid for by everyone's tax dollars.
