> Noa,
I have to respond to this as well. H's posts directed specifically to me were hurtful and stung me badly. I doubt that anyone could claim to believe they were "humorous attempts." H, herself, didn't even make that claim. When she attacked me personally, I withdrew and refused to participate. However, the viciousness of her posts to me still stings. She used previous information I'd posted about a difficult situation in my life as a basis for her attack. Yet, some people were much more concerned about her "crisis" than the damage she'd inflicted on me.
Also, something that I just don't "get" is that when someone says "I'm leaving", people scurry to bring that person back (that part I understand), but what I don't understand is if the person is leaving, why don't they leave instead of continuing to read? I truly don't understand.
(I feel like I'm walking on eggshells by posting this - I don't want to risk offending anyone ... )
It seems almost a ploy to see how much attention they'll receive with their threats to leave.One last point I've raised before - is humor on trial here? One of my favorite "holiday" songs is "Grandma got run over by a reindeer." I KNOW there's an organization that "fights" for reindeer rights and against the slavery of reindeer by Santa Claus. I believe they're called the Reindeer Liberation Front. I hope they're joking.
