Bill, this had NOTHING to do with politics.

Like Susie said, and I think several members have mentioned on here, that they were targeted
by Jess with intimidating posts and PM's.

I know she is your friend, and I am sure you were never her target...... yet.

I have no idea what criteria the mods used in their decision to finally delete her account, but
I would bet my left arm it had nothing to do with politics.

I am glad you guys have a forum that you enjoy.

oh, and I'm noticing that some "copying" of posts over on the Retreat has apparently been done by Bettermost members. And I even see that those copied posts are now posted here.   :o

That doesn't concern me a bit. But I do recall earlier on this very thread that some members were "complaining" that Retreat members were copying Bettermost posts and then posting them over on the Retreat.

So, what do we have here? Could this be double standard time at the OK corral?  ???

"yet" ?  :laugh: thanks for the early warning, I guess.

Or, as one of your friends at the Retreat said about me.........

Karen is a crybaby and never had an original thought.

I imagine the person that posted that is lurking right now.
 ;)

Somehow, I'm a crybaby because I didn't like how our posts from here were copied over their
for them to mock and ridicule us.... and Jess is the victim.

Please................

That boat don't float.

But you've overlooked the part I wrote about Jess' very real and very nasty personal attacks .... do you still believe that she was picked on for no reason or that people had genuine grievances?

again, we get back to the ever flexible definition as to what is or what is not a disruptive personal attack.

I believe that there was unrelenting whining campaign about Jess's posts on the part of a small group of people who were allowed by the mods to define and control the issue.

It is one of the ironies of the whole episode that many of the people who whined the very loudest about Jess once were her friends. Somehow, they just couldn't live with her opinions.

That is your opinion.

This wasn't her first rodeo.

You changed your profile Karen! I didn't know who you were at first.   :)

I genuinely don't know about any comments on the Retreat concerning you.

But, if what you say is true about what Retreat members have done, then Karen, the copying and the mocking seems to be mutual.

I have read each and every post on this thread, and I see quite a bit of mocking going on. And the mutual copying, is evident too.

You know what, I honestly felt sad for Jess when her account was deleted because I knew she had
been a member here a long time.

Sometimes, a person has to take responsibility for their actions though.

This is about why Jess was banned, only the mods truly know that.

I wish her well, and am glad you guys have a forum where you feel
you are safe..... if you want to call it that.

It's probably time to move on from the bitterness, and hopefully that will happen soon.

What's done is done.

Doesn't even compare.

I didn't come back under my real, or previous login because I had gotten a PM from one of you guys
telling me to....................  go Fuck yourself Karen.

I have never had that happen on any forum, no matter how hostile things became.

But again, you have your opinion, and I have mine.
