Please dont let it bother you Winni
we really have been having very little drama here.
As far as I am concerned, this silly chit chat is only drama if you care to look at it that way.
I, for one, would love to see you around here more often.
I think we are just seeing a clash of cultures and a breakdown in communication - I truly believe that if we were all together in one room we would all come to an understanding pretty darn quickly.
I had chosen to ignore it in hope that it will go away
but seeing yet another thread I guess its time to say something.
If I didn't think Rastagirl could defend herself, I would not tolerate what looks like folks ganging up against her. I feel that while Rastagirl has strong opinions that sometimes I agree with and sometimes I don't, I respect the fact that she is willing to put herself out there, share her experiences, and she defends her turf. I have a feeling she would be an extremely loyal friend. I really do not believe her intentions are malicious. To me she is a great asset to this board - and so is everyone else.
It is OK to disagree.
Lets just try and avoid pointing fingers, ill intended jokes, name calling, and gang mentality.
Everyone has stated their opinions - its time to move on.
I dont want any hurt feelings and I don't think any of you are really aiming to hurt.
We all add something different here and that is the beauty of it. In Jamaica we have all learned to tolerate stuff that we would not tolerate in our own cultures . When i think about this board I think about the the huge mix of cultures we have here - we all come from such different places it is normal that we have conflicts and misunderstandings.
Please go easy on one another and be aware that we write may not come across in the way that we intended. It is challenging to write in the tone we are thinking in.
