Charleypops - I'm sorry, I missed your post. I'm not the type to ignore anyone deliberately, and I'm sorry that you think I would.
I do try to be balanced and fair in my postings, and if you thought that I was having a go at anyone then I can only apologise if my post came across badly. Some of the posts on this thread have saddened me, too, because really none of the baiting and sniping is what MN is really all about.
I did see the apologies that were posted, they were obviously heartfelt and genuine, and I'm glad that those posters at least felt that they could make them.
I do take your point about how cosy and nice it is on the June thread, and it's good that you have found so much friendship and support. However, I would reitterate that friendship and suppport is what the whole of MN is about. If some of the posters who hide in corners would perhaps venture out and talk to us, they might find there is far more support available to them, from people who have already been through what they are going through and who may be able to add the voice of experience and a few reassuring words.
Like you, I am just really really sad about this whole episode. I am not confrontationalist at all and HATE arguments. If you feel that I have pigeonholed you and lumped you together with others then I'm sorry; my post was not (repeat, NOT) aimed at you - it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. I have nothing against anyone at all on the June thread; I just feel that maybe the exclusivity that certain posters are aiming for goes right against the grain of MN.
