I'm staying. I can't believe the levels of intolerance expressed today, given over an issue that at its base is about intolerance. Simply amazing.

Everybody has unique and valuable gifts to offer here, whatever their opinions. I understood that from the first day. There's nobody in the membership who follows the basic rules that I would ask to leave. Just as I would not expect to be asked to leave, myself.

Let's learn Spanish (and/or English) - ¡Vámonos!

I'm staying right here. And I'm really disappointed in those that seem to be celebrating the departure of others. Very sad.

Que lástima.

But Fred we can "agree to disagree" can't we? That is a resolution "of sorts".

But we aren't even permitted to do this. The apparent resolution is that we all must remain silent about the issue, even now I can't say the word for fear of the thread being deleted because I even mention it. I'm not going to be somewhere that says I can't even mention something that is, to me, a big part of my life. And, I don't even mention it often, I almost never bring it up anyway, but if I'm going to stay here I need to know that I'm not going to be silenced every time I mention what I am or who I love.

I think you have a right to not be silenced ... we never actually said you couldn't Puss... We all have our own beliefs and we all have a right to them. - Destroyed99, Jun 26, 2011
Who I am and what I believe has been suppresed and I am not leaving. Might as well stay here my friend, everywhere you go will be the same. :) - EL_MAG0, Jun 26, 2011
Nothing about who you are has been suppressed Amor. You could go start a thread right now about God or Faires or the Devil or whatever and your thread would get voted up rather than deleted or closed. And, no Amor, everywhere I go it is not the same. - Fredbong, Jun 26, 2011
Brian, shh! Puss, the reason that thread got closed is because of all the people arguing, obviously! Not because of what it was about! - Destroyed99, Jun 26, 2011
Koala, multiple threads have been *deleted* that contained no arguing, and also contained very little content, because of the subject. - Fredbong, Jun 26, 2011
Y Fred - es bien ser "Fredbong" de verdad :) - nonombre, Jun 26, 2011
Ohh, :( - Destroyed99, Jun 26, 2011
Fred mate ! You are not alone , and you are definitely not being silenced , you have , and always will have my love and my support . - ray76, Jun 26, 2011

I don't know whether I'm leaving or staying. I went out to do some things for a while and when I returned to SpanishDict the only evidence, aside from the original thread, of any kind of distress was gone. Everything except for the "I'm not leaving" threads was deleted. So now I don't know what the resolution was, or even if there was a resolution. I'm probably going to leave though. Not because I'm angry at anyone, and not because I want anyone to feel bad, but because I refuse to support any place that is willing to pretend that I'm invisible for the sake of peace and profit. Hopefully there was some kind of resolution, but you wouldn't know looking at it.

Aww, don't leave Fred, this a great community, we are people helping people. Not everybody makes me feel that what I believe in is okay either and it will always be that way. Should I leave because somebody does not agree with what I believe in? - EL_MAG0, Jun 26, 2011
Amor, I won't be leaving because I feel people don't think that what I "believe in" is ok. I would be leaving because any mention of who I am is going to be silenced. I would stay if people yelled cursed and demeaned me, but not if my voice is strangled. - Fredbong, Jun 26, 2011
I would be really sad to see you go Fred. You've been here nearly as long as me. Please stay. - patch, Jun 26, 2011
Well, Toms thred still exists, so, not everybody believes in it. Not everybody believes that we should love one another either, infact people suppress that belief everywhere, no matter where I go, their will be those who dont want to hear about ... - EL_MAG0, Jun 26, 2011
Pleaseeee! Puss! Don't leave! P L E A S E E !! You can't leave! - Destroyed99, Jun 26, 2011
:( - Destroyed99, Jun 26, 2011
I don't want anyone to leave either can we simply not just respect everyone's right to think differently even if we disagree with their viewpoint? - FELIZ77, Jun 26, 2011

Fred,

I find some issues are simply not "resolvable" - differences of opinion are just too strong to allow that to happen. And, like in most families, these issues will "blow up" from time-to-time as has happened "today".


But Fred we can "agree to disagree" can't we? That is a resolution "of sorts".


And besides, you can't go, I would miss those sad-pussycat-eyes way too much....

I haven't been on much lately, but I was just looking around on the forums and noticed that there appeared to be some sort of disturbance. Why is everyone leaving/announcing that they're not leaving? I'd really appreciated it if, without stirring up a delicate issue, someone could please fill me in. I'm not asking for names, just an idea of why everyone is so upset.

Also, hi, Sanlee. As you can see, I don't know what's going on, but I'm glad you and anyone else who is staying is staying. SpanishDict is a good thing.
