Wow. As the Chief Horrid Little Creature/Offendee, I have to thank you, Felix, for apparently understanding what the past couple of days on the list have felt like to me. The guideline poll has contributed a lot to the bad feeling of having people talk a great deal about my transgression in front of me as though I am a hideous problem for the list, rather than the thoughtful and caring person/list member that I am. It has been a bit heavy. But one kind person wrote to me off-list with loving support and encouragement, and that really helped.
You have a beautifully exacting way with words, Felix, but I don't think anyone here has bad intentions. People just get zealous, sometimes. And it feels great not to be the Transgressor. But it is good to know that someone else seems to have felt the punishing vibe I've been feeling.
