(18,458 posts)My personal belief is to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove that they are not worth it anymore. Regarding the poster in question, maybe they have reached that point. Certainly I don't want them disrupting our group any more than the rest of us. Hell, some of the feminist group has said the same even about their group. But I digress.
We each should use our own beliefs to determine how we feel about others. I feel that there is good intentions inside most if not all people. So, I am compelled to see look for reasons for conflicts in terms of my beliefs and take them not only at face value, but wonder about the meaning of what is said/done and why it was done. I do not think that a vast majority of people are purposefully hurtful without cause. I refuse to believe that the human condition allows for such things.
