If you want a private conversation, take it to email. Post on a message board, and you can expect people to respond. Whether it has their name on it or not.

Sunny did not merely request that no one post the URL. She asked that we NOT mention this site. And she has kept asking politely IN SPITE of folks doing the "back and forth". That was the point! It's one thing to mention NDNZ here since that's where we all got to know one another to begin with! It's quite another to keep hinting about "the other site" on NDNZ. Where the very people we would like NOT to attract here hang out.

Yes, well, you got it. I DID have something to say to you. That's why I posted.

I didn't say I fit into that category; my adopted Metis brother does. I don't give a damn about people who think skin color equates to whether or not one is NDN. Which is why I felt it was really stupid that Keenmah used that as a reason NOT to respect Sunny's wishes. I didn't even know that you had made such remarks at all.

True, but in my experience, you can learn a lot about someone over time in an internet community. That is, of course, if someone is posting with a certain degree of honesty. Not just out to provoke bullshit or stir up arguments.

Yeah, that's exactly the way I felt about Keenmah's behaviour. Which you seemed to be defending. Which is why I responded to your post at all.

Same here. Peace.
