this kind of amuses me.. lol..

sorry if you feel your angst amuses me (not directed towards ANYONE in particular).. but every now and then someone will be offended by something.. we canīt go by deleting threads/posts etc or we will end with an empty forum... yeah we can disagree on topics, think some "wordings" are harsh, but we can still see the big picture... at least I know I can.. and Iīm one that has used some "attention getter" titles.. and some might be taken not so good...

another thing is calling someone names.. making disrespectful comments or adjectives.. THAT should not be tolerated.. well.. it could but only with a great sense of humor which sometimes it just canīt be done..

I do think, and itīs nothing wrong about it, to bring on topic other topics from same original poster (this or whichever other thread) as IMO they ALL relate to the same person and one could say "hey on this thread you said this, but on this other one.."... another topic from another person could be dragged in IF it was about same issue .. not in this case.. where some rude comments were reffered to then added someone elses harsh descriptions.. although quite similar they are still not the same..

if we relate every bad comment, harsh wording, bad spelling, etc.. then we would have brought in tons of the threads here...

ES was and is entitled to her opinions and made a good point, but as I saw it ,Karen just reminded her of not bringing another topic into this thread.. but that it would be addressed properly.. even if she seemed to "bless" the title.. which I more think tolerated.. as I did.. I didnīt felt offended, sure it was a bit odd.. maybe too much for some others.. which is why I understand ESīs concern..

the thing here is that the OP has several times made rude comments, denigrating people, etc.. and all those "topics" arose here

no one is or needs to be "attacked"...we all just need our reins pulled sometimes.. sometimes it goes in PMīs sometimes it slips and goes into threads.. maybe ESīs situation is more noticeable as many have been open to everyoneīs eyes.. but I bet Iīm sure more like that have been done in private (to other people I meant)...

Iīm sorry ES if you feel that no one has your back.. I for one consider myself a supporter, you certainly make some good points sometimes, sometimes you donīt, just like everyone else (not saying this was one.. was a good point but pertained or requiered either another thread or PMīs).. we canīt all think alike all the time... but donīt feel ganged up on.. I just thought clearing it up a bit in my words.. i donīt like seeing people taking sides..
