That's how I understood the intent of Little Hawk - a way of trying to get the thread away from a quarrel that was escalating. And I noted that both Troll and CarolC, who'd been imnvolved in thta, took it that way.

But that long last thread is inaccessible to a lot of people, which means the context isn't there to explain why it's not as callous as it might look to someone coming to it cold.

I think there may still be some value in continuing this thread alongside the PEACE one, as an overflow for more stuff that wouldn't really be appropriate there. For a little longer anyway.
