We recently experienced a very sensitive issue. Out of respect for those involved, I won't specifically name or describe the issue. But it was an issue which had both a very personal and very community aspect to it. One of the parties most involved asked that this issue not be discussed in committees or at the general meeting. Because of the nature of the issue, they were going through a very very difficult time and asked that we not talk to them about this issue. Although they seem to love community, under stress, they felt they really needed their space. Some people felt that the community needed to respect this persons request. They were already going through such a very difficult time and community discussion would only add to their distress. Others felt like this was a community issue and we needed to discuss it and deal with it as well as we could. This was an issue which was dividing the community into different camps and needed to be dealt with. So my question is, Have other communities ever dealt with a similar situation? If so, how?
