She was... controversial. A bit of a polarizing figure. Not saying a ban was deserved or not, I am just saying that as much as she did add, I can also see a lot of instances in threads where you just know Karen got buried in complaints about her. Those of us who are very, very passionate sometimes have to pay for it.

Don't get me wrong, I have no idea why she was banned, and I am not saying she deserved it, I am just saying I am not totally shocked. There have been tons of complaints and calls for action publicly about all the general contention and arguments here, so I can just imagine how much Karen has had to put up with privately as well. Even a very kind and patient person can only take so much goading and dumping on before resorting to drastic measures.

We all have pretty much agreed that we wanted friendlier, kinder, calmer threads here. Maybe when we were demanding it we didn't think through the consequences of the campaign. Yes, Borzoimom could be very kind and friendly and we all loved seeing her beautiful dogs and learning from her. But if we revolt and demand that people who cause controversy be punished, then... even well-meaning people we consider friends aren't always going to be safe.
