I've been debating whether to post this or not, but I've felt sick at heart after what happened last night. On the one hand, maybe it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, but on the other hand, I feel somehow responsible in that it was my earlier post and Boops response to it that seemed to spark all of the ugliness yesterday.

My intention in posting was to answer a question someone had asked, and it saddens me to think that it was in any way responsible for igniting things. The wiki is full of wonderful, helpful people, but it's gotten to the point where I hardly post here anymore because I don't want to get caught in the crossfire of the conflict that seems to be happening so frequently lately. Obviously, I haven't been successful at that.

I hope I'm not being stunningly naive in wishing that we can all go forward from here and treat each other a bit more gently, or as Boops said, with kindness and respect.
