Tsuru no Tsugomori i.e. “Nesting of the Cranes” is noted and understood.

We seem to be coming, bit by bit, to a better understanding of each other.

I understand your protectiveness of the nature of “the essence of the Freeper community.”

I will also tell you that Freeper does not exist in a vacuum and has aspects that reach beyond the Freeper community.

I have no doubt there are many wonderful people here who know and understand each other in a community spirit.

Your initial comments to me were abrasive and pushy with a threatening undertone.

I don’t react well to that and I don’t intimidate easily.

Take a look at McGruff’s comment to me and my reply to him. That interchange contrasts diametrically from the interchange between you and me.

Why? He got across the same message you did and did it in a non-threatening way.

Sooo... take it for what it’s worth.

I will let you have the last word.

"Your initial comments to me were abrasive and pushy with a threatening undertone."

Really? Which part?

Here's my first post:

"Direct link to the video:

Here's my second post:

"Strange.
I never realized I had the capacity for subtlety."

And then the third:

"And yours appears to be a work in obscurity."

Your reaction to the above comments:

"I don’t react well to that and I don’t intimidate easily."

Wow. If you think that was a confrontational interchange, and if you expect to be spending a lot of time on FR, I suggest investing in some Nomex.
