I agree with Beverly. Disagreement is not the end of a relationship. In this case, I see people stating their case while really listening to each other and giving each other room. It's an admirable thing.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.
'Safe'
Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I will say that the more live and let live types among us are not going to be able to talk the need-resolution types into dropping this. But as long as things are handled without ferocity and a need to punish, merely a fact-finding mission, I think most of the accepting folks can live with that. I can, anyway. I hope Trudy and anybody else who'd rather we not uncover anything unpleasant will be able to accept it, too.

Mostly lurking...
Ok.
Just to clarify, I wasn't feeling all kerfuffly and stuff. I'm just scared. People that I care about are on both sides of this fence, and I don't want the community to lose any of them.
That's all. So, thank you for calming that.

I am glad to hear you say that Beverly. My experience with the preferential voting discussion was life-altering-- or at least board altering for me, so conflict-avoidant me can blow things out of proportion.

Our wings are not tired.
I think we are all ok here, vw. We may have a variety of opinion on this, but I don't see anyone suggesting another's feelings are wrong.

I really don't care about that. I care about upsetting his family if they find this. Their potential hurt is so much more serious and important than our potential hurt. And could have been prevented by discretion.

I thought discretion was why we were limiting this discussion to Bureaucracy? It's not a place where non-boardmembers would think to look.

It's a permanant link on the main page. It's not exactly a secret place.
I really meant it about not continuing with this discussion, but I guess I didn't want words put in my mouth moreso.
