Don't let people bully you, Zero. If you like the post, then like it. Don't subject yourself to control and manipulation.
I haven't seen you treat people disrespectfully and harshly on a regular basis.
I think of 1 Corinthians 13 and the description of love.
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
The fool hates correction and despises instruction.
There are a few I have noticed that are quick to sink their claws into people; ESPECIALLY into people from nations other than the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. Not all nations think it unacceptable to be bold and forthright about finding a mate. Honestly I think they are acting more fearlessly and godly when it comes to this. Just pointing out my observation.
You are not in the wrong here, Zero, and you have went farther than needed to make peace.
Appreciation? I have appreciated some of the posts that Ugly has made but NOT the ones where he has quickly jumped on people though. There is nothing wrong with people announcing that they are single and looking. Trying to make people look bad for doing so IS wrong.
If there is a policy that says that a person may NOT create a thread solely for this purpose, politely point it out. Otherwise leave them be.
