Well isn't this another example of how people read a comment and interpret it in different ways.

I certainly didn't read that Foss wants us to stand back and let the attack continue. When any member writes on your personal wall and makes statements provoking response it's hard to ignore. When a  person comes into a conversation with the sole intent to disrupt the happy flow  - hard to ignore. When you try and ignore you get poked and prodded till you make the desired response - this is the behaviour of an abuser and not a person wanting to be accepted as a member of the community.

I admit I hadn't been aware of all the underlying tension until recently. I don't often read every post and comment here. I believe it had been proven without doubt that this person has deliberately caused enough friction in other places to be exiled. It is not a first offence. It is not only one person feeling hurt and abused by this one person and cannot be brushed off as a clash of personality.

I am a peace keeper in general and fully aware of a persons right to a second chance and an apology deserves to be heard and the person allowed to make ammends. This hasn't happened. My friends are hurting  and feeling like this is not the same safe happy place we know and love. That hurts me and I stand with them in the desire to remove the threat. I believe many chances have been given and ignored.

Each one of us has RL situations and issues and all we ask is a safe and happy place to come and interact and enjoy each other's company. My only desire is to return to that.
