I don't know if I ever have said anything harsh to you, but if I have, I'm apologising to you for it. I do think after reading yr posts that I judged you too quickly, and I am sorry for that, Tuesday...

While Bain's call for a truce is a good thing that I fully support, it's bound for failure unless everyone gets on board, and it's clear a few from both 'factions' of the divide wouldn't be on board with it. All we can do as individuals is decide for ourselves what's more important - discussing actual issues or spending their time following a trail of posts about who called who what and who hates who and so and so called me this. If there's links included, by the time you get to the end of it, you feel like you've just been watching the Hatfields and McCoys in action, and many times yr still none the wiser about what most of it's about. So I'm doing the same thing as you. I'm going to try to avoid engaging in any of that other stuff from now on and engage with those who are interested in discussing feminism. There's many of them in this group and out in GD, so I don't think it's going to be difficult to do. Because one_voice, a DUer I respect a fair bit, made a similar point about there being many DUers in this group who do offer valuable commentary on feminism that she enjoys reading and learns from.

*peace*
