After reading Del's post about Chris, I've decided I won't be hosting any time soon! Please remove my name. I'll find other ways to be supportive!
I will never come to a point where I agree with how the the SOTU shut down was handled! But, I have come around to understanding why some people didn't feel welcome.
About a month ago, Del suggested we should erase a thread that was complaining about it. I myself was complaining. But I wholeheartedly agreed with his suggestion to erase the thread and move on.
I was active on the UU Thread for years before I discovered and began participating in the Seasons! I can honestly say I would not be doing what I'm doing today with my teaching and performance had I not joined the Forum. So for me personally, it was important to maintain a presence there. Once I was able to get over the shock, I made an effort to get unbanned and have been enjoying participating there again. Hopefully I won't be judged here for my choices!
