I don't mean this in a mean-spirited way at all, but since you asked... (and I am the woman who will tell you when your slip is showing or your shoes don't match...)
Other than when there's just a misunderstanding - or someone had decided to get really offensive themselves - I've not seen the digital pig pile that you've encountered but you've said some pretty outrageous things on a board where some of the businesses/owners you were slamming are posters here as well. You have the right to your opinion but where do you draw the line before you hit the
"overkill" level of things?
You posted the same thing over and over in your first posts - I think it was 9 of 11 posts - in one day, and then said some pretty wild things about some others. You make it sound as though you were attacked because of one post on one thread - that was hardly the case.
In case you haven't noticed, this board is sorta a big family in some ways - we love the same things, we share news, advise, and we have fun raising money each year together. We are a community. (Sometimes we put the "fun" in dysfunctional...)
We also get on war footing at times...
Generally speaking, newbies don't post on several threads the same info/opinion over and over and over. In my opinion, you're more than welcome here if you can play nice.
