What happened to thread???

[Marilyn]

If you don't want to participate in a thread or even view it, that is your option. It's not fair for a couple of people to dictate what a community of equals wish to discuss which is what is developing in this forum.

There are threads that I simply pass on because the subject matter is not something that I wish to participate in. I have no problem with others participating. That's their option, but I do have a problem with having to tippy toe around and being afraid to post for fear that someone will be offended.

That atmosphere makes for an unfriendly place.

Please let's keep this forum open and friendly. Friends can disagree and still be dear friends. We are all unique and bring much to this community.
