I thought that HUG quilts were made to express our love and appreciation for other people. To support and comfort them when life just gets too hard.
For some of the people on our list, life is just too hard right now. Where is the love we should be expressing to one another?
Words have been tossed around in an accusing manner. Statements and questions that should have been asked privately have been asked publicly and everyone has jumped in on the debate, often adding fuel to the fire. Is this what we want? Is this who we want to be?
I'm suggesting that we declare a two week moritorium on this topic. The people involved need to communicate with each other, perhaps by telephone so each can resolve this issue to her own satisfaction. It is too easy to dismiss people who only exist in the cyberworld. We/I often forget that there is a real human attached to the posts and a real human may experience pain that I have caused inadvertently.
Let's all take a step back from this fire and cool off. And remember, every post is submitted in trust that the group will accept and understand.
