I wasn't going to say anything here, as I didn't see the comments that dvz is upset about. But... reading the post again, and seeing the "fuck anyone who looks away" sentence, I feel the need to speak out.
Not everyone who doesn't comment publicly on the board "looks away" or condones bad behavior or out of line comments. There is a REPORT button on every post. This button gets used a lot, as it should be. It brings the post to the attention of those who can act on it. IMO, it's the adult way of handling this type of situation, rather than fanning the already derogatory or "emotionally charged" comments.
@Jewy: I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. Given my work in the financial services industry, I spent a lot of time on Wall Street and in San Francisco (Wall Street West) in the mid to late 80s and early 90s. I had several close friends who were taken by this horrific disease...and knew many more friends of friends who passed from AIDS or AIDS related illnesses. Devastating times, and there are no words to convey the feeling. So, I completely understand your frustration with the comments.
Keep on just the way you have been. YOU are a rock star mod, as is Heisenberg. IMO, you have nothing to apologize for or to defend against. We're lucky to have you both, as is Admin. I know that HE knows it, and I'm sorry if WE (those of us in gen pop) don't say it enough, because we DO know it. How you give as much time as you do is amazing! How you stay so even tempered while giving that time is nothing short of miraculous LOL
Blow outta here today luv, and enjoy your Sunday! If there's a riot while you're gone, so be it! Nothing you can't clean up tomorrow, yeah? :-D
