Wow

So, recently I started a discussion in a group I was invited to. The topic I began was Hate Crime and how I thought that punishing certain types of crime such as assault or battery because they were claimed to be based on hate over normal assault and battery (Whatever that is) says to one victim, your rights are greater than this other person because your perpetrator is being punished more harshly for the same crime.

Evidently some people had been victims of the current definitions of hate crimes and were emotionally involved in their defenses of the law. I responded calmly and with no anger, malice, or untowards behavior... only to find out that soon after I was kicked from that group (which fashioned itself as one that was for civil and intelligent discussion) and that one of my longest friends here had removed themselves from friends list with no explanation and will not respond to inquiries.

Not only does the response to my discussion go against the very nature of the group, but it hurts.

I want my friend back.

Gee, I am sorry that happened to you Mr. Get...
You are one of the super intelligents here that I've noticed to post intriguing and thought provoking comments.

On the surface, I would have agreed with you (based on the statement I just read.) Not being a part of the group (and now wouldn't want to be) I only see one side of the discussion.

I, too, thought group discussions welcomed diverse opinions... but obviously some do not.

About your friend, I have no idea who it was... but, from only what I read, you may be better off without them. Sometimes people take things so personal, it is difficult for them to accept that other people feel differently from them.

That's just my two cents. I hate to see people have "fall outs" online. But it does happen.
 
it does hurt to lose a friend. and, especially if you are not sure the reasoning.

and yes it would hurt to be kicked out of a group with no explanation as to why. at least if you knew, and, had hurt someones feelings you could talk to them about it--------hence the meaning of a discussion group.

maybe they don't want opinions that are to diverse to the "group think."

Just another example of poor moderating, spoon.
Some moderators do not take their role seriously here (not all, but some.)

ok, i didn't realize it was a group on this site. i just realized when reading ms. f.pants reply. i was really tired (still don't feel awake.) altho, my answer doesn't change.

and, yes it does hurt. it feels a bit like you've been kicked in the gut. maybe, whatever it was/is that was upsetting the person will pass with a bit of time and you will be able to discuss it with them.

sleepy and feeling a bit dense.
