my reactive comment to your post and tonights debate in chat:

ok, i am not the most mannered person i could be. i say things sometimes in a sloppy way that can and does hurt people. i hope i am forgiven for it when i do as long as i recognize my fault in the matter.
that being said ,when people debate or argue issues, they need to attack the issues NOT the personalities. this is a skill and hard to come by. a skill we are not taught when we most need it usually.

justin, i am sorry you feel the need to quit dcs over this matter.

I appreciate that Tom... and I consider you a friend as well. That being said, something has got to change here before I would even consider being a part of the group.

This is the third instance between Clue and I. We have very different opinions on most things, and were both highly opinionated. That's all well and good... there's plenty of that here and everywhere else.

That being said, there needs to be a change in the decorum. As much as the discussion got heated today, I was trying to calm down and explain my position. For every 1 line I wrote trying to explain myself, Clue wrote 5 about the type of person I was.

As much as I hate allowing my emotions to take control, I finally responded in-kind. This isn't the first time it has happened, and the common denominator is the manager that banned me. Call it age, or whatever you will, I'm simply not going to deal with being put down while Ana stands by and does nothing.

I will say this much, to Clue when she reads it, I apologize for my comment. I was out of line and disrespectful and I shouldn't have allowed it to get that far.

But that's my take on this. If a member has no limits or boundaries on how personal they are allowed to be, than I will not take part at DCS.

Sorry if you feel that is juvenile. But I was someone's verbal punching bag for 3 years, and I have no intentions of playing that role again.
