I refuse to sit and let a twerp defame decent suffering people.
Now you are trying to be a peacemaker, and that is fine with me.
I don't live for conflict but to remain silent while decent people are slammed is a sin in my book.
CG If you read my comment as criticism for your opinion, it was not. The "piling on" referenced people who commonly join a discussion just to rev up a conflict, with their own personal diatribes.
I think it's called 'flaming' - an occupational hazard I myself have experienced.
Once again, I agreed with you, not Toespi, but felt she did not deserve the 'piling on'. Toespi was reasonable to consider how parents of "an innocent son" might react.
