I am sorry I don't totally agree with that. I think that is what happened to Karen, someone sent, I think, a mean spirited email to her privately and she needed our support publically. I think anyone visiting this site will realize that it deals with lots of different folks from many diverse backgrounds and with that mix you are bound to get into spats. People call this site family, well I don't know any family that doesn't have differences of opinions at times. I know when I get together with my brothers we tend to postulate and argue.

If we don't know what is going on we can't support or help those who need it.

I vote for keeping topics out in the open. Not that there is a vote it is just an expression.
