Heaven forbid you say what you really think right? (except in secret of course) Or maybe some of you are just afraid I'll say what you all REALLY think about each other? LOL. Don't worry, I won't. Not the truly negative things anyway (except flipp). Because that would require it's own thread!

I will say this though: poor Oscar Guy thinks everyone always gangs up on him and doesn't like him etc. But the truth is, no one ever said anything bad or mean about him in private. At least not to "Aakash" or "Steph" or "Nik" or any of the other names I went by. Everyone seemed to be genuinely appreciative of the place he created. So OG if you're reading this -- and I know you are -- that was all in your head. None of these people ever hated you. Deal with it.

Also Eric, that's not the correct spelling of my first name. That was the fake one.

I bumped it half because of the tone some of us (myself included, as always) were taking this morning w.r.t the Holocaust and Palestine. And half because I didn't know if it's all that great an idea to get into interpersonals with Aakash.

I'm not sure entirely what is happening--my internet has been cutting in and out, and haven't had a chance to go through all the threads, but have seen a few nasty comments from several participants.

It's in my nature to want to be a peacemaker. I want everyone to stay and participate in this board, recognizing the positive qualities that everyone brings to the board. I hope we can do that. Let's try to recognize that and not belittle or attack each other personally. Please?

No really everyone, re-read this thread before we go back down this road.

I have no intention of being part of the solution if it includes banning people. I have every intention of being part of the exodus, though.
What a difference a year makes, by the way.

I get the sense this "UAADB is not a discussion forum, it's a punching bag" thread needs to get resurrected.

Thanks Flipp. I was hoping I wouldn't have to add another series to catch up on (Lost and Survivor are all I can handle right now, and I still want to get in on Mad Men) but hot women wrestling each other? Wait, they are hot right? If so, I'm totally there.

Speaking of, did anyone catch The L Word on Sunday? A significant portion of this week's episode featured lesbian hot oil wrestling. It looked like fun! Even I thought it was hot!

As a white person, it's very uncomfortable when brown people cover themselves with..... uh.... cream pie
