Discovering this site and all of the great people who post here with a genuine respect for GL was a pleasant surprise this year. With that in mind, I would like to apologize to anyone who was a victim of the button my remark pushed.
I will also add that there was no misunderstanding on my part about this topic. This person has written cruel remarks on the GL birthday card, in the guest book, and to members of this site. One of the previous remarks, under one of many names, was a veiled threat to GL or his fans. When I read this topic, I did so with that in mind.
The issues raised have nothing to do with controversy, free speech or fanaticism. Life would be pretty boring without differences of opinion and we would have nothing to discuss. There is alot of room for differing opinion on this board. The real issue is basic respect for GL and the members of this site. Articulating differences of opinion in a compassionate manner is the art of good conversation.
I will continue to speak up if there is antagonism or disrespect to either GL or anyone else. I wish I could claim to be a GL fanatic, but my knowledge does not come close to that of the dedicated fans of this site. Peace To All
