So it peeves me that some individuals pick on something that is really not a cause for concern, and feel that they should just genuinely feel thankful of what this site is, and does. It is clear this site does not intend to hurt anyone, quite the opposite in fact. So i appologise to you, as I have come across a little defensive, But hopefully I have explained why. And perhaps Dominus is right, Maybe in UK the term family values is defined differently to everywhere else in the world.
Lets leave it as that, and focus on what we are all actually here for. To help oneself and others.
Wish you all the best. |
FoolishMind, others seem to have a lot of respect for you - you have obviously helped out a lot of people on this forum, you are heavily involved and I believe your intentions are good. However, this post from you reeks with ARROGANCE. Who are you to say what issue is trivial, and what isn't? The fact that this thread exists, and that some people have shown displeasure with the status quo reflects that to them, it is NOT trivial.
I am also jumping on the bandwagon here... I believe the term family-values is very right wing, and has strong homophobic anti-non-nuclear connotations. You may have your view of what the term means, you may have even done the research - you may even be technically correct, however I think you need to think about whats important - and that is - what do people who visit this site think? And if this forum is any indiciation, not everybody agrees with you.
To you its walking on eggshells - to others its whether they feel comfortable enough to come here and participate.
