I will take a guess and say that the Christmas thread was started to cause controversy unlike the Hanukah thread.

Just guessing here but I think the difference is that the Hanukkah thread is for greetings and good wishes while the other thread invited a discussion of why people may be offended by terminology used in regard to Christmas/holiday greetings; a subject that has been attempted numerous times and not once did it end well.

ITA.

One thread was beautiful, positive & uplifting.

The other thread was negative & 'baiting'.

Maybe we all need to look inward & see why a negative thread would even be written at all....especially during this beautiful time of the year.

@ladyroxanne

Thank you, I will gladly accept the happy Hanukkah wishes although as a Christian I do not celebrate. One can never have too many good wishes on their side.

I was not trying to be controversial... but yes it is a controversial subject. I was just curious. I have no issues with other religions. Happy everything to all... And I wasn't referring to anyone here.. just the general consensus. Sorry Wayne... Im sure this will get deleted too but it seems QVC pushes hmm objects of faith on customers.

*******************************

I saw the opening comments just before it was pulled, and no, I didn't hit report.

But it was so obvious that it was meant to be argumentative, that was never the purpose of the other thread.

Yes, it was angry and hostile.

Your wording was angry from the start.

Two words & punctuation.

That was the tipping point.

If they weren't there, it probably would've stood for a while as a discussion.

Once emotion is interjected, the thread is pulled.

In this case, it was the original post.

Moderators look for emotional tone.

@ladyroxanne Any spelling of Hanukkah or Chanukkah, that correctly conveys this Hebrew word phonetically is, in my opinion, correct since the Hebrew language uses completely different symbols for letters than the English language does.

Thank you.

While I agree with your reasoning, the wording for the censure was "Religious."

thank you pearley. i struggle with this word and i guess no wonder. spellcheck was no help. i appreciate your explanation and happy hanakkuh to you as well!

Re: @Wayne QVC

Pearlee — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:58:57 GMT

It never bodes well for a thread if it starts out using "Controversy" in its title. OY!

I saw the Hanukkah thread. Didn't see the Christmas thread, but I've seen enough of other threads on Christmas to know how they usually end. And most of the time, the argument is over something that is imagined and not actual.

@ladyroxanne You are very welcome, and thanks for your well wishes. I'm so secular that I didn't know Hanukkah/Chanukkah (LOL) starts so early this year until I read it here on the board. Clearly, I'm nonobservant.

FYI - the two spellings I have above I wrote purposely to illustrate for you that while the former seems to be the more accepted one nowadays in English, the "Ch" beginning is an attempt to capture the very gutteral "H" sound made in Hebrew, coming from way in the back of the throat. The "H" sound is pronounced almost as if you are clearing your throat. Hence the Jewish bread Challah, pronounced Hallah, is spelled with a "Ch".
