i see this from (i think) all the sides and angles... and i think i agree with everything posted... but in this we lost a really important person (probably more than one) that I am really sad for.

I also do not see how prayer can be talked about without it indicating religion. same as i do not see how "hurt none" can indicate a specific religion or scripture....(man watch me be the one to lock this down - not trying to i swear!) it just makes me really sad that ppl cannot find a way to talk about all sorts of things without *feeling hurt*... or causing locks to show up all around the board (much too similiar to my own internal system).

anyone can "talk" and anyone can CHOOSE how they feel about things. so i have to wonder if it is the censoring that is hurtful/helpful... or the way people process their feelings.

As was mentioned (and really is the most important factor) this is not my board and i could have never created one like it. Ever.

Perhaps we can all reflect on how we react to things and learn to trust that no person here is purposely trying to hurt another? "Preachin" to the choir, i know....For future use....
