It feels like some comments might be needed to avoid any additional potential conflict regarding this thread. I'll try to keep this short and on point.
In every community, we should really strive to tolerate as many differences as possible...every single one of us is so vastly different from the other. It's important that we at least try to have calm, respectful, open communication with those in agreement with us, as well as with those who stand for everything we are not. It's not easy; we all know that.
But the only real way toward change or growth, really, is thru learning and communication. Without that, we're going nowhere.
It's 100% okay to post here,
anywhere here, and say "I vehemently disagree with everything you're doing, everything you're about" -- those feelings are totally okay. One should absolutely stand up for what they believe in here (as long as the general YT rules are followed)! Even more so because we're talking about living, breathing, precious creatures here at YT.
This board is owned by Admin, and the spirit of this board has *always* been to allow its members to be as open as possible. To be able to post almost anything (within reason/rules) and find some sort of discussion or guidance here from other members, even on the most sensitive subjects. That Admin has always pushed for maintaining
that kind of openness and tolerance should speak volumes for the kind of integrity that is behind everything this board strives to be.
Members may not always agree with the decisions made here. Members may get angry as heck. Members may also say things in the heat of the moment (hi self!
). It's all okay, really. This is a
community...there will be differences, there will be conflict, there will be growth, there will be change, there will be things that stay the same.
The bottom line is really: let's all work harder to accept where each of is at in life. We are where we are! Let's try to lift each other up, rather than tear each other down. Let's just try harder to tolerate our differences, even when those differences make us want tear our hair out
!
Deep breaths! Carry on
