learned a lot about the gas situation both from Emma and DW's posts. I
thank you both for your thoughts and ideas. I well understand how
passionate we can get over issues that are important to us. I am very guilty of
this; I can't put my words in writing...so I just cry.</SPAN></P>

do not understand are the posts chastising DW's words. I will
admit his words, though harsh, were his feelings. As I see it these posts
publicly embarrassed him (and me) as much as his post to Emma embarrassed her.
If you had a problem with either post maybe a private message first
would have been better. Feelings all around would have been spared. </SPAN><SPAN

Loch Ruadh was founded on the idea that we were friendly, welcoming to
strangers, sang badly (except for our bard, Padraig), willing to listen to
everyone, drank way too much alcohol, tolerant and forgiving. Do we need to take
a couple of steps back and re-evaluate ourselves? Have we lost sight that this
is a GAME we play? </SPAN><SPAN

kind of tired of the hurt feelings, misunderstood words, backbiting and

to the business of having fun, because if we don't this group WILL cease to
exist. </SPAN><SPAN
