WITHOUT FEAR OF RETRIBUTION

My sister, GOD love her, is the best person I know. Strong, loving, compassionate, respectful .... the list could go on and on.

In speaking with her this evening, and sending her the link to this blog (something she would not normally read) she has told me quite eloquintly that those that come here to read and post want to do so 'without fear of retribution'.

She is right. We wanted a place to praise or vent our feelings on this man called Clay. We wanted to be able to do this without being made to feel small or insignificant.

As truthlover said: Character is what is left when adversity steals your dream. It's the force that drives you forward when others leave the team.

'truthlover' told me I must have character. "Why"?, I asked.

"Because your dream of what you wanted for Clay from the moment he became your 'idol', adversity stole from you, but
your character didn't drive you away. It drove you forward, part of which was creating a blog for all to share. You didn't leave the team".

I know we're not all on the same team, and that's ok, but we would all like to state our thoughts, ideas, objections, etc.

To respect those that want to have a place to use their voice
'without fear of retribution', I have decided to follow my heart and stick with the no bashing rule.

It should be easy to reply to someone's comment and end it without attacking that person, yet still make your point.

I will not ban those that don't comply, but I will edit or
delete the bash.

Thank you.
