I hate to continue this off topic stuff, but I did want to put this mellowyellow thing in perspective.

As a reminder, this poster - new or reincarnant, what does it really matter? - ORIGINALLY posted a reasonably benign comment/warning - in the thread about liking someone whom you originally did not - to be leery of those who are overly sweet or religious. My original thought was that she had been burned by someone like this in the past. No big deal.

The pollution was not the original comment itself, but how others reacted to it, including the starting of a thread dedicated to this poster and apparently many behind-the-scenes PMs on the topic.

The whole thing is disgusting, but absolutely avoidable. If there's anything I've learned in all my days, it's that you can't control other people; but you can control your own reaction to them. Everyone needs to be accountable for their OWN actions.

that is my 'nuff said.
