Gee,
I'm sure everyone here appreciates your being understanding of the reasons
why someone might be concerned or even overly concerned. Whether Mary
jumped the gun or not is no longer an issue. It's over and done with and
she may even feel really bad that she did. Whatever her reasons were
originally, are worth forgiving. If you can't forgive her then you have
options. |You can unsub, you can delete her posts, you can just bite your
tongue, etc. It's not "people like Mary who can ruin a group"...it's people
like the one's Mary is concerned about, it's people the group has already
had encounters with, it's those folks, not Mary. Mary was doing her best in
the absence of the List's Leaders. She did a great job and her best
interest was the good of the group not some self serving interest. Let it
rest now or take your complaint to another group. Why don't we start over
with a sharing of your adhesions problem. I'm sure others would be
interested to hear and offer suggestions. We hear your pain loud and clear
as far as the incident that happened and we acknowledge how hurt you must
have felt, but, imagine how Mary feels too...and adamantly NO!! She did not
bring this on herself...there were outside influences. After you get hit
over the head so many time with a bat...anything held above your head
resembling one could easily be misinterpreted. Grow up. This list is
comprised of imperfect humans(who are loved just the way they are). If
someone happens to be above this join a list for self appointed gods I'm
sure one exists.
Sorry for coming across so strong but this really needs to end, Now. It's
ridiculous. Time to go back to sandbox 101 and learn the rules.
