Subject: My turn! My turn!

First of all, let me just say, you guys have certainly livened things up here, now haven't you? I haven't been this amused in a really long time.
Secondly, I have removed said photo and sent a letter of apology for inadvertantly having it here.
Third...now, let's look at what we have here... you guys have your big "official", "private " board, to do what you will at. Your board is listed all over and pretty much everyone on the internet has access to the site. On the other hand, we have a board that is not official, has not been registered anywhere and has a total of five people who come here. Hmmm, well, I can see why you are so threatened that you have to attempt to bother us.
Yes, this board is full of venting. That is why I made it. A forum setting is the easiest way for friends to talk about things, which is what we do, we talk to each other. We pretty much kept it somewhat to ourselves because it was between us. Now, you guys have made it public.Well, thank you, I guess. And quite frankly, you guys really have no right to say anything concerning our venting. you do enough of it at your board. At least here a person is allowed to defend themself.
Anything that was posted here was between us and was directed to each other, therefore cannot be considered as a threat to anyone else. The forum was called Tea and Sympathy for a reason. it is a place for those who feel they have been wronged to come and vent if they need to.
Fourth, I will now publicly state why I left the other board. Its really very simple. Quite a while ago, I started to notice a different attitude creeping into the board. One of intolerance, of people beginning to abuse their power. I really loved the site and really hated the thought of this getting out of hand. So, I asked Gabby simply to look into it. She refused to even consider it. I wrote several times , not being nasty, not harrassing, just because I was concerned. I was told that I had an attitude and that if I didn't like it I didn't have to be there. So , I left. My husband left because he got attacked for sticking up for me and for other people who were being harrassed. This is all there was to it. We did not harrass nor threaten anyone, however, since then we have been referred to as psychos. etc. and we don't even go to the board.Interesting, huh?
And now, you come here to my place, to try to harrass me here?You threaten us, you harrass us, you bring my son into this? My, doesn't that just make all of you look so damned neat. I bet you are just so proud. You came and made fools out of yourselves over someone who was just concerned about YOU in the first place.
Well, it didn't work. And the majority of your posts will remain up, this way everyone can see just who is the problem here. Although if you get out of hand with the language, that will be another story. I do have a young son , like you made a point of mentioning. And just for the record, no one was harrassing Vamp about his grammar. I reread the post and it was actually concern over why his posts had changed that was voiced, not sarcasm.
So, hey, if you really think that the five of us are enough of a threat that you need to be here, feel free! Just keep in mind that anything you post will be here for all to see, so if you decide to make yourself look stupid, be my guest.
