Frenchie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yes, un grand merci to the numerous people who sent me PMs , insisting on my coming back.I have taken a bit of time to think it over, and here I am ! [:D]I don't mind debate, on the contrary, it is the best way to make humanity move forward. But there's a fine line between debate, contradiction, and bullying.This being said, I feel much better now.Dear virtual friends, you have my gratitude.[kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Frenchie, Just FYI: my closest friend and my oldest friend (different friends) and I disagree on many things, however giving each other the respect to do this cements our friendship, and it works both ways.....if any of us flounced off everytime we disagreed we would have lost a friendship and been the poorer for it.

Russethouse Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 LOL - this thread has lasted longer than Frenchies absence [:D]On a more serious note most of the mods have kept a close eye on the DSK thread, but none of us can see any evidence of bullying - of course people have strong views and put them forcefully, that's not bullying , that is debate. Being in the minority in a debate is not the same as being bullied either.However, as I said earlier if anyone should feel bullied, either on the Forum or via PM they should report it immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
