DY – 1. I don’t know if I would have started the list in the first place, but once it was started, I thought that adding to it could only help. The point was to undo any “damage” if in fact any “damage” had taken place.
2. Also, I’m not sure the two are the same thing. If you say that you want to meet x and don’t mention y, it may be insulting to y. But I am not sure that choosing to describe a few posters is the same thing. According to that logic, it is always insulting to say something nice about someone because someone else could be insulted.
3. If anyone feels that someone has been left out, they can write about them. There is no one reason why something can’t be said about every poster. And if anyone feels that he was forgotten about, he can say something, and someone can mention him, as LF did above.
4. While it’s great that people are being sensitive to others’ feelings, I actually thought this was one of the nicest and least insulting threads around. I would prefer that people spend time posting on a thread like this than many of the others I’ve seen (and try to avoid).
