Yup. Exactly.

I can't disagree with this. But everybody did the best they could--even earth_spirit, I firmly believe this. We will always come up short. I just hope we can take a lesson from it, explore those triggered, hurting parts of ourselves. They need love, not correctitude.

Rather than dismissing another's view and feelings as unwelcome, how about exploring it alongside the person to see it grow?
While I share your opinion, keep in mind that Jade has a duty not only to us and the Confederation but also towards L/L Research. They have set certain guidelines and Jade is obliged to act according to them.
This should not be seen as a problem, though: just like any shortcoming, it's an opportunity to be creative and to demonstrate love in a way that the rules can't touch!
I was not sure at first this was relevant to this thread but after all it might be a little, and it's interesting anyway. I am sure there is some pain in it expressed which could be close to e_s pain
