[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 152116, member: 3626"] Personally, I think we're all human. Judging others is part of human nature. We judge if we like someone and why. We judge if someone does something wrong and we weigh it against the things the other person has done that it "right." Should we judge, probably not, but we do. Yes, this is a "gentle place to land." However, that doesn't mean it is always an easy place. We're touchy folks. Most of us do call a spade a spade, a worm a worm, a slimeball a slimeball. Sometimes GASP we discover we're wrong and we're pretty quick to apologize. On the whole, I think this is a very tolerant group. I've also noticed we're pretty protective of each other. We do circle the wagons to protect one of our own. We also act as a pack to get rid of a bad seed. For me, I truly hurt for every member I respond to. I truly do cheer for the successes and baby steps (sometimes literally). If I tell someone "hugs" it really is my cyber arms around them. If I feel used, lied to, denigrated, I'm going to snarl at the very least. I get enough of those feelings from my daughter. I don't need and the people on this board don't need nor deserve those kind of feelings. If the person causing those feelings doesn't mean to give them, usually speaking up will bring us to our senses and we'll quickly apologize. As the saying goes, don't push the mama bear. I think for many of us, this board is our baby. It is where we go for laughter, friendship, hugs, easing of pain, advice. If we think you're crossing lines and causing pain, we will, as any mother will, protect our baby. [/QUOTE]
