I have to agree with Wex here, Hon. You may believe that you weren't doing that, but the language you have been using wrt the whole incident has definitely contributed to the us vs. them rift that has occurred.
Both sides have used language out of anger, defensiveness and hurt that has created this derailment into the "us vs. them" fight. Both sides need to drop that anger defensiveness and hurt before a real discussion about the issue of community safety can occur.
This is why I was suggesting in my post that everyone needed to just back away for a bit. The heated argument, attack, counter-attack, defending and blocking is just creating a larger rift.
