Then I disapprove . Can't stop you from owning one . But I must disapprove . And i have already stated why in my posts . I find strange this has produced so much hostility .

For what ?

She clearly strongly disagrees with me . But that's not a thing I feel needs forgiving

Wow, that's just very close-minded of you.

Extremely so.

Now I better understand how the others are viewing your posts.

I could understand if someone was burning a dream-catcher in front of you, but if someone has one out of respect of the culture then you are the veritable asshat for claiming sole monopoly on the culture.

Sigh as I have already said over and over . If you own out of respect for another culture then fine. If your just owning one because it looks cool without respect for the item then I must disapprove . Now I'll admit I don't know the reason losty owns one . But neither do you. But considering the tone of the post I'm not confident in the former. Thou I totally open to being wrong and revising my post .

Hope that clears things up

No. Getting you to calm down. Thank you. I would actually like to discuss this if there's an opening now.

I've never not been calm

As i have said over and over my objection to idea that owning something that is sacred to another culture ( like my grave marker example ) And trivializing it into mere decoration "because it looks cool" or " because you can" is horrible (a thing with great regret i have done myself ) thing .

If you say so. Now I haven't added my point of view at all. Are you interested in that, or have you made up your mind already?
