I don't think we can blame anyone here for not being able to trust people anymore.

Let's put ourselves in Kay's shoes and see how she feels. Then let's say Robyn's not guilty of this as it seems to be now. Put yourselves in her shoes and see how she feels.

Personally, considering Robyn is innocent, I cannot even begin to imagine how she feels. KNOWING how Kay was suddenly personally abused by an unknown person, I also cannot begin to imagine the distrust SHE feels now. One cannot know until they're in the other person's shoes.

I do not doubt Karen on this in the least bit. I do feel she did the best she could. I know she has been investigating since it happened. Let's put ourselves in Karen's shoes too, and see how hard it must be to moderate all these people justly and fairly, especially when such things happen. I'm sure she doesn't want to make the mistake of blaming the wrong person.

No one's perfect. We all make mistakes. Considering the situation everyone affected is in, I cannot say who is right and who is wrong. I'm neutral on this issue. I say we should just let it go. YES I know its not easy for those affected, and it is terribly difficult to have someone accuse you and not know who it is, BUT...it might be impossible to positively know the real culprit behind this. It is a scary thought. I do not know if I can put my trust in everyone on PT anymore. I am grateful...SO grateful that I never gave my personal information openly on the board. I'm so glad I never got pressured into it. Why? I can now see that there ARE people here who are not to be trusted, and the sad thing is, we don't know who they are. I don't know if I'll ever be able to develop trust in a new person I meet online again. The people that I've come to trust on PT are people I'm grateful for, and people who have become my good friends. I 'know' I can fully trust them, but on the board...I really cannot trust people I don't know deeply enough. Its just too public here. You don't know who you're going to come across. Its a feeling that's the result of all this trouble that's been going on lately. Sad? Yes of course its sad...but its just how I feel now. I will always trust the PT'ers I have come to know deep down, but I'm not sure I will ever put my trust in anyone I haven't come to trust yet. Trust is one thing that's hard to put back together again once its broken.
