Bullshit art war that got kit 'dropped'
Kit’s post got her yelled at and ‘Dropped’ by you Kevin. I write here to say that I read her post before it was posted and offered advice so that it wouldn’t come off manipulative and condescending. She was honestly seeking advice to see if her opinion was wrong since she was being disagreed with so aggressively. She knows she can come off wrong

She is hard to read some times, its a fault that I share so I'm carefull when I talk to people to ensure their intent. You are extremely polite and kind to appologize and its more mature then I'm sure most people includeing myself would be moved to do. I thankyou for being that nice person, though in no way am I saying that you should have appologized as you were only feeling like you were defending someone you care about.
As I said, its my journal and kit didn't know about the post so I don't know if she will be following it. I can answer the comments you made to the best of my ability as I did talk to her about it in depth before the post in her journal is made.
She said she would drop it in Kevin's journal because it was becoming a problem. She did stop discussing it there, she went to her journal only because the whole thing distressed her so much that she was seriously questoning the validity of her views because of the things you guys said.
Kit left the journal open not to be snarky or sneaky but just the opposite. She felt that if she talked about something that concerned him behind his back that it would be devious. She didn't mention his name purposefully, though she was seeking the oppinion of neutral people anyway. Most people that felt strongly about it already commented in Kevin's journal, myself not because I really didn't care, so it really wasn't to start the debate over. However, if she did it behind his back and he saw it wouldn't that have been worse? Its her journal and she wanted to discuss it, but not hide it from someone it might impact...I'm sure in a perfect world a better answer is out there, but that was her thought process and why she did that.
As for screened comments, she actually screened those who asked to be screened. She wasn't screening those who were disagreeing with her. Her journal is automatically screened which we who reply in it know. Often we might say things knowing they won't get unscreened, or asking her not to. She gets around to unscreening those who don't ask not to be.
You're right, this thing is dinky and stupid. Hopefully this thing can end with the misunderstanding dead.
