Easy. I didn't say that. I said we're talking about a lot of things, and ask for everyone to be patient. In the meantime, I hope all of you model the behavior you hope to see. That means, no calling people petty.
Fair enough. If you're referring to my posts to Gentlemen Bastard though, I didn't call him (or anyone) petty. I said it was petty of him to be angry about us deciding to no longer post, not that he is petty. And I wouldn't have said that if he wasn't coming at me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
