    Human. We’re all human with our positive and negative traits.

      That’s quite the excuse for blatant racism from someone who definitely knew better.

            I’m saying we all have horrible traits, even me and you. I’ve got native blood in my veins, among other races. Doesn’t stop my own family with the same blood from being racist against ourselves.

              This still sounds like a defense. Otherwise why bring it up? Who said no one had bad traits?

                Do you just stay in hostile mode? Take a breath.

                  Again, why bring it up if it wasn’t a defense and no one claimed otherwise?

                    Because I’m allowed to make observations, except by that one mod, so far.

                    I’m not your enemy. I did notice over the last two days when I felt blech, I was more reactive. And it’s habit-forming and counter -productive. I can notice good people have bad traits and bad people have good ones. It doesn’t mean anything other than humans are humans, unless you’re spoiling for a fight. Have a great day. I’m not bickering with you.
