With all that said, I ask you for a third time to cool down after several others managed to. At present you are the only one pouring kerosene on the fire, and I am obliged to stop it. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
DoDo is just pointing out that even FPers have different opinions on things. I'm really not understanding where this venom towards FPers has come from, especially from you. Some of your comments have been deliberately hurtful which I wouldn't have expected from you.
If situations in threads start turning nasty then it is our job to try to diffuse things or where something really off the mark has been said, to say so.
The thread went quiet last night with no more comments after about 10pm here and none when I'd gone to bed. Most people have stepped back and tried to calm down and now I wake up to more biting comments from you. Please draw the line now, because this thread can't go anywhere constructive in the state it is in.
Considering my absence, this is a topic I would like to have discussed and I am really disappointed to see it turn out so badly.
I'm only speaking on behalf of myself here but all of the FPers put a lot of their time and soul into ET. There's no power trip or glamour for us, it's hard work at times and to be attacked in the way that we have been in this thread is really unfair. Ad astra per aspera
I haven't read the full pre-history in other diaries of why you feel so hurt, but if that unrequested email you marked as spam and suspected of ugliness is part of it, note that since I did look into it. Certainly no ugliness there, it's definitely not someone who you felt insulted by or have insulted in these threads. It's someone you still consider a friend. But since outing him/her would be an internet crime, I ask you to either read that email or allow me to send his/her identity via an email of my own. *Lunatic*, n.
