Effers:

Please don't be offended by my approaching you directly.

I fully recognise that I am to blame for some of the shi tsorms that have gone on recently on the Dawkins thread. I respect you. I respect your position. I respect the restraint you've shown. More than I can say about myself at this moment, frankly.

That's pretty much it except for an apology if one is needed, a thank you because one is, and a hang in there and you've got a friend who is willing to listen, just because.

Best,
Kelapabesar

Kelapabesar.

There's nothing you need to apologise for as far as I'm concerned. A certain person quite clearly manipulates these situations to occur regularly, as far as I can tell. I used to not fully understand why she got so much flack, but now that I've seen the whole process occur, I really understand. Apart from all the poison, what has annoyed me intensely is the repeated attempts to derail interesting discussion. I absolutely love that, and I can tell you do to.

Thank you very much for your warm supportive message. It means a lot coming from someone like you.

Delighted.

Although I'm not entirely sure what to make of the << someone like you...>> bit.

Hang tough, kiddo! I think you're aces!

>>someone like you<<

Intelligent, and poster of lively and interesting posts. Anyhow that's how it appears to 'someone like me'.

We're doing fine, then!

Assuming, of course, 'someone like me' means (as I think it does), a sensitive, intelligent, and courageous thinker.

We're on the same page.
