I noticed that there hadn’t been any responses in a while, and I agree with you that because this is a sensitive issue for people dealing with it, it might be better to quietly put it to bed.
I responded because I noticed you are a “Leader,” and I feel that your response to @Bikeguy0 was not in keeping with being excellent to each other.
Had your post come from an untitled user, I’d not have responded at all, and I apologize if I misunderstand what “Leader” means in the context of this forum.
If respectfully explaining one’s opinions is condemned as “doubling down” and “digging a hole” by the “leaders” of this forum, then so be it. The respect I had for the cultural leadership of this forum will be adjusted accordingly.
