Okay... I didn't get to reply in full to Tom Earp since I was on my way out of the office, so I'm gonna do this now since I have more time.

Okay... first of all... was this REALLY necessary?

Don't you think that in stating this statement you are also making a judgement in a similar fashion? Or to quote your own words, don't you think this just helps "propogate all of the hatred." Come on now.... you're a moderator... so MODERATE not instigate!

We ALL do not disagree with you, but you seem to disagree with ALL of us!

that you are making a generalization that all the GCers hold the same opinion as you? Better yet, it seems as if you ASSume that we'll all naturally take your side.

Also, in light of the manner you chose to respond, doesn't it seem that you are the one attacking someone? As you seem convinced that neicy has come to do? (evidenced in the statements below)

You are not the Joan De Arc of Blackdom, yo are the Crown of thorns who want to prick everyone on site!

Get a life and figure out the first step is to learn how to mingle with people whether The color or religion they be.

To me, it seems rather difficult to conceive these statements as a means to "help each other in a more positive way" when they seem to be attacks every which way.

Now, the fact that I'm posting this DOES NOT MEAN that I am supportive of Neicy. Nor DOES IT MEAN that I fully support Tom Earp. Rather, I am simply trying to point out how criticizing one person can easily lead to the criticism of yourself, which in turn can easily be the cause of racism, bigotry, stereotypical notions, negativity, etc, that we all supposedly condone.
