Quite honestly, Edwarda, despite what I'm sure are your good and kind intentions, I don't believe any "intervention" has been or is necessary at DAR. DAR has never needed moderating, as the people here have great respect for each other, are basically very kind, and are capable of taking care of their own conflicts. As they should, being adults.
I know we have a different view of these things, but I see intervention as an assumption of someone else's believing they know better than I how to behave, or that they have a clearer understanding of other people and truth than I. Personally I trust my own perceptions more than anyone else's and don't want or need intervention. I think we all feel that way.
No one is throwing things, much less killing each other here. I do not believe that a comment on another thread's tone is an invitation at all for anyone to come insult us. There have been absolutely no personal attacks on anyone in the past few days, maybe longer- certainly since the thread has been left alone. Frankly, the implication that we were in need of correction yesterday is a little off-putting!
I respect this thread and its posters enough to believe they are fully capable of deciding how to behave without you or me or anyone else standing in judgment on their words or behavior.
Edit: If we need to talk more about this, let's do it by PM, ok? |
