i understand,
yamiko. But I'm calling it as i see it. to the outside eye, you were defending your position on how you saw things, though you really could have done it differently. Be a little more sensitive to other people's feelings. Put yourself in Ruby's shoes. What if you had a brother with PTSD, has seisures, and probably couldn't talk about what he saw to help him feel better about things and someone said what you said to ruby. You'd want to defend him.
Instead of a week, i've decided that's pointless and harsh. you know the rules. no drama. It's CLEARLY stated. So, just come back tomorrow afternoon.
and for both of your future references, if you have an issue, take if off the thread, wait till monday, or just don't talk about it or to eachother untill you calm down. It's REALLY not that hard.
Ruby, I can tell that you were upset, but you need to understand, that the whole reason i have selected monday to let it out without any repercussions, is because people need to know that you're upset or offended by something. this whole drama thing could have waited till monday. and if you forgot about it, it wouldn't have made any difference. You'd have been a little upset for a while, but hey, you'll come around and talk to yami again, or maybe not.
My problem is not that you two were arguing, it's that it made the thread feel dramatic. When people are upset, or one person's upset, and the other is being insensitive, it doesn't make a very happy atmosphere. Silent harmony was created to get away from drama. If you knew my past with other threads on menewsha, then you'd understand. (i.e. Black And White)
