I feel I need to put my 2 cents in because this is beginning to funnel into the very welfare of the board in general and I feel a neutral parties deconstruction of the whole incident is needed. I thought this was just an issue between Raz, Uni and Politie but it is affecting all of us. You can seriously feel the tension in every thread now.
Before I go into my opinion, I just want to be clear that I respect everyone here and have no enemies and do respect everyone\'s opinions no matter if they are right, wrong, gay, serious, a joke, whatever. I just try to read things and respond with an open mind, though sometimes I don\'t like many others.
I did enjoy debating Uni about the Halocaust but I am still a bit confused about why he felt the Jews were not innocent as well as some other facts which I had to reread a few times to get the jist. He even PMed me to see if I understood his post and I explained my stance about how it was a bit unclear. I think I understood what he was TRYING to say but I did not and still do not agree at all with what he had to say.
To be honest, this has dragged out so far, I\'m starting to forget what exactly happened and what the original points were. The only thing that is sticking in my mind right now is the fact he stated the Jews weren\'t innocent, which I disagree with 100% (and because it was repeated so much in different threads that it is the only thing I remember at this point from the original topic). It did come across as the fact that he meant they deserved it but I don\'t know if that was his intention. But what he said was what he said and it doesn\'t matter his intention but how it was communicated and he can\'t take that back.
I do feel he needs to sit down and write a response that is completely clear and coherent as to clear up any confusion of his post. Just saying "look back" doesn\'t help because everyone knows this board; no one really goes back to make sense of a post that was confusing from the get go. He said in the thread he explained it again and again but there was so much mudslinging that I don\'t know if its even there or not or if it was clearer. Either that or just not do anything and see if it dies down (which at this rate it will be a long long time)
I did think polities post was a bit off color and I understood why Raz was upset. I would be too to be honest and I was a bit uneased when I read it. Politie I took was just trying to get a rise out of Raz but wishing harm on someone\'s family, serious or not to certain people is just not a laughing matter. Some just shake it off, others don\'t and Raz I take is very defensive over his family and I understand why he is upset. Insult the poster, not an innocent party
Anyway, I don\'t want to take sides because even though this is an internet message board, I can seriously feel the tension as if we were all sitting in a room. I just wanted to put in my two cents and present everything the way I see it from my observations as a neutral party. If this works or not, who knows. But things are just getting a bit out of hand and need a resolution. I feel that we either need to let this go and move on or someone has to man up and either explain, apologize or clarify.
