Dear list people: I feel I must speak, because obviously I have been misheard in some respects. Ailsa suggests that I am criticizing Honey's efforts and that for some reason the length of time I have been on the list (9 months) has something to do with my ideas... Basically I am what could be considered an open person, to the point of being as open to liberalism as conservativism. I often don't form opinions at the expense of another side. and what I was trying to do was not side against or for Honey, but trying to come up with an understanding that embraces both sides. as other people have said, we cannot run away from our problems, and for people to just say, lets forget all problems, lets attack/be dissappointed in seb, lets flounce off and be self-righteous, is just avoidance. There appears to be little all-embracing love in this discussion. people are choosing sides. Why choose sides? Why not try and understand everyone. Funkyseb is not a bad person, and I've always enjoyed his posts. I've always enjoyed being on the list and everyone's postings, and I have a hard time trying to convince myself that anyone on the list knows who to judge or blame, simply because no one seems to understand the whole situation. So I would rather think that everyone is writing out of sincerity and so not blame anyone. I blame qualities of nature, and not people. as for my suggestions as to advice or group agreed rules, Ailsa is right, it would be too much effort. I was just trying to help. I felt that if there is discontent as to how the list was run, there should be some way to solve the problem. I mean, hey, if there are a lot of discontented people, and discontented for good reason, than maybe they should be heard.
