ORIGINAL: givemyall Im with LadyEllen on this one... the rules are on their profile because its what they have decided between themselves as right and correct.... who are any of us to try to deride them for the way that they want to live. I dont think that I am a better human being than either of them, so I dont believe that I have a right to say that what they are doing is stupid.. Live and let live isnt it..... or are we all getting a little small minded in our old age? Thanks for being at least one who saw what I saw! The more I think about this, its not so much that these rules were posted to a thread, from someone's profile. Its that ridicule was invited, and from what has been said at least, it was done with some sort of personal agenda not against the rules themselves, but against the person(s) who originated them or are following them. I find this a really distasteful idea, and I would really like CD to clarify things from his perspective, as until this incident, I had nothing but respect for him and I'd really like to be proven wrong in my suspicions of what was going on. I have no idea who the originators / followers of these rules are, never met them or had any other contact with them, to say whether theyre good/bad/indifferent or whatever as people in my opinion. Others may have. But to me it seems to set a really unpleasant tone to CM if it becomes acceptable to attack someone publicly without their knowledge, not because of something they said on the fora but because of some belief system or some values they hold dear. If thats whats going on here, that is. After all, what, and more importantly who could be next if such a scenario does gain acceptance? E
