Not entrusting private messages that are not meant to be shared would have circumvented this, and Bill Ryan should know this. I have no idea of the content or even the topic concerning this whole issue (presuming it's the whole Cliff High - Bill Ryan charade, which is all it is, 2 kids in a sandbox sulking over who has the best toys) but what I can say is that somebody who should have known better caused the final outcome. 2 wrongs don't make a right presuming that the banning is what would be construed as "right" in this instance, and the giving and sharing of the info the 2 wrongs.
Yes, in total simplicity the banning was correct, but was it moral? How quickly we cast aside our morality in protecting them we feel to be infallible, our "guiding lights" so to speak.
Once again, I will pose this question. Are we illuminated? Are we awakened? I think not. Struggling infants in a brave new world perhaps, but we have a long way to go before we can class ourselves as anything more than that, this includes both Kerry and Bill. We are all in this together and we need to look out for each other. The time to stop criticising, persecuting and generally damaging one another needs to stop, and stop NOW. We are starting to look like a bunch of christians here, the only people I know who bury their wounded.
I was hoping to see a change in the tide of pettiness that has been washing the shores of avalon especially in the past month, but I am afraid this is a mere pipe dream. I am hoping to be proven wrong. What was that old saying, "united we stand - divided we fall"? Oh yes there is something else and it was mentioned in a post in this thread....NEVER share writing in private what you do not wish to have aired in public. This is not a new precept, so Mr Ryan, take more care in future, you are not infallible. None of us are. The fact that Bill Ryan even shared something he wanted to be kept private needs to be questioned.
That's my petty tuppence worth.
