We are adults and it should not be "fun to mess with Sandra" like little girls in middle school......... Maybe you and Rhonda should keep that in mind from now on. You are right we are adults.... I sent this to the list this morning because I wanted you to see that People who can find accurate info and want to help others won't use the list because they are tired of getting their hands slapped . That is so sad and unfair to us all. .... You are not the only one with feelings. Being dogged via of the list is not fun is it ? I hated stooping down to your level to prove a point but you are so hard headed. What you guys did to Pam and the way you treated Tarney was awful. You have made many of us feel like not ever posting to the list several times. But we kept on going because of the others that we have grown so fond of. I totally agree with Roberta's suggestion. She has more sense than most us.... But does that apply to you too? You are right about needing a little time for tempers to calm down. I just hope that we never see someone getting beaten up via the list anymore. And when you apologize to some Please don't say I'm sorry but............That only adds insult to injury. If it's not sincere then don't bother. . I am by nature a pretty low key person, I don't get fired up often . It requires too much energy. I have learned over the years "not to sweat the small stuff save it for the big stuff. Watching people being treated badly on this list over and over again became big stuff...... I apologize to every one on the list for loosing my temper.
