Turtle Seeker,

Thank you for your kind words on Lidewey's wall. I am writing to you because even after sleeping on it, I felt the need for clarity on a couple points. Please know that this is written from the heart without malice, without bias, but with true concern.

Your post out on the forum yesterday, which got a little heated for a moment, is laying heavy on my heart. It contained a subject matter which was actually discussed a couple of months ago and caused so many hurt feelings, with people going to leave, angry words spewed at each other, and some friendships broken. 😡

I wholeheartedly agree with you that everyone should be able to speak and offer their opinion. After all, that's what the wiki is all about. However, I have a bit of a problem when anyone (not just you) who begins to let the opinions/comments become personal. I went back and read all the post involved in this again; there was no misconception on my part. I do believe that not all people are going to agree with your opinions or you with theirs as it should be. My personal thought here is that the way one plays their game is their business.....it's their game. This is IMHO. I always use this when inserting my thoughts (opinions) on a potentially opinionated topic. 🤔

As just a person reading a thread, and having watched the events unfold on the previous thread (same topic), it is my personal opinion that AAA was actually trying to stop a repeat of the previous thread occurring again, and not trying to prevent you from stating your opinions which are welcomed. 🙂

Kudos! I actually had to go back and re-evaluate the way I handle this selection from my own personal perspective. I did not kudos the two people involved because I was in agreement with their opinions, or they were/are friends (I hardly know them) but more because I was in agreement with the way in which their opinions were stated. And how would you or anyone else know that? It never crossed my mind that that one simple gesture could be so misleading. For me, a valuable lesson was learned here also. 👍🏼

A friend...GEL😎💚
