Diversity of opinion and the right to disagree

[mmhmm]

I understand your meaning, as I think about it, Been there. In my own defense, I worked 14 hours last night, just got up, and have another 12 to do tonight. Please forgive me for being a bit obtuse. I do feel for krickitt, as I realize her injuries have limited her ability to get out and about. This was an important outlet for her. Hopefully, she can find another that will better suit her political views ... one where she won't be tempted to get so angry, or to let old baggage impact her posts.

Krickett was here because after being banned on the old MSN board, and then this zone came into being, I went looking for her over at the MSN entertainment zone I believe it was and left messages for her about this place and directions to it..suggesting she come on over and start afresh..she did.

She had some issues but myself and a few others had PM 'd her for a while encouraging her and cautioning her..we knew her history, many , many bannings over the years..not time outs but the true ZAP.

I too felt these types of zones are a important part of her life, thus my involvement and thought the new zone would be a good thing for her. We agreed on nothing , basically zero but I liked her..however she also can change and get real personal..and to suggest anything to her..even a suggestion of..never taken as a friendly heads up , ever, and it was to bad..but as mmhmm said, it is a shame, but she brought it on , her demise , by herself, no one else, so while it's a shame, at times , things happen and we move on..as I said, take care krickett, hope you find a home that you are comfortable with, hope you recover from your injuries and all is well with you, in case your reading..i have no personal against you, I am real sorry it did not work out..Vaya Con Dios.

As the "long time antagonist" being discussed I'll chime in....

I voluntarily stopped posting here about a month or so ago. I wandered over to EE and a couple of the other boards here and posted there instead. Until day before yesterday, I had posted nothing here. When I was gone off on by krickett, I had posted nothing to her, nothing about her, nothing against her, and wasn't responding to her previous posts.

Things had been getting entirely too heated before I decided to stop posting here and I choose to stop engaging her in any way, shape or form. I did continue to read here and often had to sit on my hands to not say anything (in regards to many different threads, people and posts, not about krickett specifically). I saw a thread that I wanted to respond to, and since I had laid low and hadn't stirred up anything in awhile, I decided to post something on that thread (again, wasn't a krickett thread or in response to her posts).

So as far as being the antagonist this time, it simply was not me. I have done it previously, but did NOT do anything this time. My only posts to krickett yesterday were AFTER she went off and included me in her bash. I do have the right to say WTF? when I haven't done a damn thing.

* removed quote as original post has been removed. mmhmm, P&M moderator.

haven't said shit to you in months. Please explain EXACTLY where I have done any of the things you are stating. Considering I haven't posted here in over a month until yesterday, it seems like YOU are trying to start something.

Hopefully the mods take care of this little rabid attack out of nowhere.

But what I do have a problem with is when a poster has been wronged personally and asks for substantiation, only to be met by a verbal slap in the face.

You mean like krickett putting my name in her little rant. When until yesterday I hadn't been posting here in a month? When I have made NO posts to her, about her, in reference to her?

You mean like that?

Don't throw my name out in an attack and then act the victim krickett. I've said NOTHING to you until today. I've started NO problems with you and have done nothing to deserve your little rant.

Ok Steff, I think we get it ..Kricikitt lost her cool instead or walking away when she was ticked off and is gone.. But I for one will miss her but in her defense she did seem to be geting upset here lately but not too sure why?? And probably none of my business since one of my two day bans was for objecting to her being heckled and bullied by a mod..& would do it again..

I haven't been posting here.... not my problem.

In my mind..some of those , possible some did, but I doubt it, who Krickett admired and thought of as buds might have privately sent pm's to her and cautioned her , suggested in a heads up, to cool it..I believe she would have heeded those folks, I believe those I am thinking of know who they are.

I know I wasn't able to do so, PM, any longer..and a few others , who had over time been in contact with her , were in the same boat..at least the attempt should have been made IMHO..that is the neat thing of PM's..they are private and are only between the parties them selves, no embarrassing public back and forths.

"she did seem to be getting upset here lately "

I had noticed the same thing..

Weather prediction for tomorrow:

Partly cloudy with a chance of banning, increasing as the cocktail hour passes.
