I’ve responded to Thelxiope in a different thread asking them to be careful to keep discussions calm, constructive and friendly, especially when they touch on real life topics that are clearly going to be sensitive and personal for many.

And to avoid spamming the forum by repetitive posting.

I can see why, eg, the fact that the thread opener here doesn’t explain why anyone else should agree with Thelxiope’s take and the strong language, can give the impression that its purpose is to prompt controversy rather than to engage in good faith debate, especially when there have been a number of similar posts in a short period that also have seemed somewhat heated and provocative.

But while I’m asking Thelxiope to try harder to engage with other forum members in a positive, constructive way and to resist repeating the same points, I’m also going to ask anyone who isn’t interested in having a friendly, open debate that engages with Thelxiope’s points in good faith to simply ignore and move on.

Cheers, all!
