When I registered here (February of this year I think), the first thread I have read was about the backstabbing and chismis that brought a big rift among the Filipina members... and here it is again...
Sometimes, we all need to just let some comments pass and not take it to heart. This is a forum and as such, it is a venue for us to share our thoughts and views on things however different they may be from one another. That's the beauty of freedom and democracy... you get to listen to other people's views. Let's all practice emphatic listening (Stephen Covey's Habit 5: Seek first to be understand, then to be understood).
As for forming "alliances".. this cannot be avoided as some of us have developed friendships with some other forumers.. as some Filipinas have mentioned in some threads, they have had dinners with other forumers and as such, a bond has been formed. And when one of their friends are "atacked", they can't help but defend even if they are of reason. Let's forgive them. They are just being friends to each other. But I appeal to everyone, that if and when you take sides, I hope you do so in support for what you think and believe is right.. and not because you just want to add fire to the flame.. or just because you wanted to make the thread longer. Like I once said in a previous post, let's keep in mind that behind the words and the code name is a human being.. so let's treat each other as such even in this virtual world.
I mean no offense here should my words have tugged a string or two. I'm just stating my humble observation. You are open to refute what I said, as it is your inherent right to do so. Hey, that's what forums are for.
Let's all stay happy and enjoy the benefits the forum has given all of us. Let's treat this as our home. Are we going to backstab and chismis a family member? If that's our mindset, well.. that's the kind of home we want to create.
