Please don't think that the lack of defense meant we did not support your position. The name calling started way too early in the conversation for it to be a proper conversation. Many of your defenders probably felt like me, "Saying anything at this point will not change the minds of others & will only inflame the situation. So I am no longer going to discuss the matter until things calm down."
I am glad you discussed your feelings!! It is a perspective (why you feel hurt) which many probably did not take into consideration.
I stopped reading after the first couple of dozen posts. Glad I did. Sorry you felt you had to leave. I wouldn't read to much into lack of responses tho, different folks are online at different times. They might have come back and felt like posting, but the threads had progressed beyond and so hesitated.
1) you are complimented because you can defend yourself :) (You forgot that part) 2) the assholes looked like assholes, everyone saw that sorry we did not point it out 3) You were not one of them 4) we can agree that it will happen, when we cannot say, but it will, I will mourn for sentimental reasons only, but I won't stop supporting our royals - and yet I am not pagan, and currently live in a kingdom where I think the possible worst case scenerios could happen, so I am not enthusiastic 5) it is not about gay rights to me - perhaps that makes me bad :) 6) there is no six 7) I love you dearly :)
I love you, my Brother; I love that your wife is your Inspiration in all that you do, I love how you handled the conversation on the List, and I love your humor. Thanks for laugh! I needed that!
I love you 'wela. To be really honest, there's not a lot you could do or say at this point to change that, because I know that what you say comes from the heart. Even when we don't agree with each other, I respect you for that from the depths of my soul
( ... )
And knowing your life experiences, I completely understand where you are coming from -- and yes, the condescending nature of some of the male responses to you pissed me off completely. (Revenge is a dish best served cold, though; remember that! ;-) ) So, as long as I still love you and you still love me, I'm happy.
I can't say that there is wiggle room in the Crown Lists; but if there was that much room, Logan would be a Mega-Duke, if I had any say. But you're right, I can think of two fighters who have entered Crown time after time, and they will never win. Not because they weren't good enough to win at one time, just because it was decided (subconsciously, I think) that they shouldn't. No one said a word, but they never won. So, yeah, we seem to have a way to police Crown, but I honestly don't know how it works, if it really exists. I, too, heard discussions among fighters as to how to bend the system, but in truth, none of them I heard discuss it ever became King.

I thought this whole thing was over six-ual orientation. I guess I'm still confused.

And one of my favorite people. :-) Even when we don't agree. Maybe because we don't always agree?
LOL

Just another Calon mystery, I guess.
