Difference in Opinions

One of the homeschooling group I belong to are fighting amongst themselves.  They apparently had a policy of avoiding controversial, religious, and political OT (off topic) issues which caused one or two people to complain to the moderator(s).  However,  the moderator tried to enforce the "rule" but she herself is guilty of breaking the "rule".  So, the obnoxious email exchange between the moderator and the individual mom, occurred and really caused quite a stir, (and quite entertaining), since it was a "joke".  It's stupid in my opinion. This is the second occurrence of the same homeschooling parents openly, publicly complain against one individual.

As homeschoolers are a  minority in a society that still cannot understand our choice to homeschool, I announced my opinion that this was a waste of everyone's time; that the perpetrator who was offended should have just "voiced" her opinion directly to that parent, rather than getting the moderator(s) involved with the whole homeschooling group.  It's too bad there's all this negative energy over there.
