There was no quoted message. I was wondering what I stepped into... Heading back into the upstairs section now

I'm speaking personally and not as a mod. You think you have claimed a victory, but you haven't. Cliff is living up to a promise he made. You do realize that other people exist and that their presence is not up to your whims? This is not your personal playground. A lot of people really like Cliff. Bashing him in public like you do says more about you than him. I will freely admit that I am not his biggest fan. I'm not defending him because we're buds. I am saying that I thought you were better than this. He's gone and you are still poking him. Was that to me? I'm not bashing anyone. I was making a joke that Bob said people were snowflakes and then got mad when someone (apparently) got mad and took his toys from the sandbox. If I'm poking anyone it's Bob. There was a post after yours that was deleted. Tela was responding to it.

I'm just grateful I grew up in a small town back when life was simple. Freedom of expression in school was for college students who hopefully had learned some solid values as a child. And grown people for the most part had better things to do than obsess over perceived slights... I like people who speak frankly and don't "wear their feelings on their sleeve" as my dear mother used to say.

How those that can't deal with different points of view or feel the need for a "safe space" or to run and tell when presented with something with which they don't agree will ever make it in life I have no clue. I reckon some don't and will always remain children and/or child like. It's a pity really ... a society of betas and snowflakes. Not sure how you can post this while also posting in the Shoutbox "Need to mull over what more I want to say, 'cuz I'm pretty pissed off right now. Thinking we lost a good one due to a whiner." I'm failing to understand what you mean there ChicagoDave . How does one conflict with the other? I have been in contact with Cliff since he left. In the shoutbox I said that I needed to think over what I wanted to post about his leaving as I probably know more of his reason(ing) than most. Whether to share more or not. I think folks should know the why, but don't believe I want to get in the middle of that mess. I believe he left due to exactly what I wrote in the paragraph you quoted above. That's pretty much the reason that I wrote it! Too much between the lines there? I know it can be hard to keep up.Someone ran and told. And, I'm "Thinking we lost a good one due to a whiner." But there are more important things in life ...

I was trying to read between the lines and make a (now obviously) dumb joke. I know absolutely nothing about why Cliff left. It seemed you were saying a whiner was to blame. I was curious why you were getting mad that someone left because they didn't like the whining while something something snowflake. My attempts at humor have failed me once again. There were no slights at anyone intended in my post.
