I hope you will not stay too long away from ET. I appreciate your contribution and I know that without the diversity of philosophies/opinions/points of view, ET wouldn't be what it is.
I think metavision was right to make apologies an she did it with grace. I also think others should have the same elegance. BTW, I troll-rated FPSDoug because I think his comment was concern-trolling.
Such a heated debate is a normal event in any human group and, although the initials of the site might be misleading, we are humans. The question is how to repair the social fabric and how to heal the hurt feelings. Some of the recent diaries are made for that and I suggest, for example, that, before withdrawing, you tell us where your username comes from in the stormy present's diary "Ne te courbe que pour aimer..."

as to heated debate being normal, i agree, it's all too normal.
but it's not nice to be instrumentalised for others' issues, and so i am not inclined for play, something needs burying, and i don't like the smell.
as for my name, fran remembers what i shared about it back when.
it's a principle i find distasteful to compromise.
i don't put up with it in the real world, no need to regress for a blog.
you've been a nicefellow-blogger, thanks for that. The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. Chinese Proverb.
