This does not make any sense. People looking at something from outside can see it better, but do not have a clue unless they are directly involved? Which is it, make up your mind! > So I would like to ask you, no plead with you, to stop this horrible > debate that is causing so much hatred to come out of this group.

Understanding is good, it can be the first step to solving a problem. Worrying about someone's feelings being hurt is a poor reason for avoiding discussing an important subject. While it may be nice to take drastic measures to avoid hurting feelings when possible, there are many things that are far more important then a few hurt feelings, and discussion and understanding are two of them. *** Ignorance and deception can't save anybody.
