Respectfully, your question could have been worded more accurately. I didn't "...expect things to devolve into an 'us vs. them' situation in the first place". But, when they clearly were, based on what I've seen on this thread, and others since I've been here, in terms of undercurrents and dynamics between members, it was pretty clear to me how it was all gonna' flesh out. At this point, I would really find it hard to believe that I would be the only one to see this comin' like a freight train over the last few months.
Even myself, who tends to avoid drama at all costs and usually just whistles past the graveyard to post another silly pic with a bunch of smilies, couldn't seem to keep myself from postin' a stupid comment about all the ridiculousness I was seein'. It was just mind-boggling. Regarding said post, my sincere apologies to anyone that post may have hurt or offended. As I said, A darn stupid move on my part.
But, let me also go on the record as saying I think this whole situation S**KS TO HIGH HECK.
Adults acting this way to each other.
Plus, it hit me earlier that the Holidays are right around the corner. And correct me if I'm wrong, but, I remember us all havin' pretty darn happy holidays last year.
Just sad...
I for one, am just gonna' do my best to go back to my usual whistling past the graveyard, silly, smilie-postin' self, and try to avoid all the carp.
