(34,123 posts)43. Thank you for the support
If we'd had some discussion and voted on the image threads I'd have been satisfied - win or lose. My preference is that they not be here. But I was not prepared for the response to the attempt to discuss whether or not that is what we want here - and deeply troubled by it.
But - I am also pleased by the response to my comments earlier in this thread. It doesn't make everything perfect - but little in life is. We're moving in the right direction (talking with - and listening to - each other, and trying to be more intentionally inclusive).
