I was responding moreso to DBB's telling VS not the "make her feel bad" and also the OP's "reminding" us to be careful with posts because the "slightest thing can destroy or us make us quit recruitment" which sounds overly dramatic and victimized. As far as her original comments on the chapter, I have no problem with her observation or her choice of words.

As far as this messageboard I find that most people are, most of the time, kind, sometimes terse (with good reason: How many times can the same question be asked when the answer is right in front of them? AAARGh to quote Charlie Brown), often very funny and intelligent. I agree.

As far as cyberbullying, a phrase that wasn't said or implied in my comment, if you read newpapers and/or watch the news, it can in fact be devastating. I hope that you aren't insinuating that, if a poster has a different viewpoint and/or asks for empathy for someone, that they should leave because they aren't part of your mindset/party: perhaps you might want to reconsider that idea. That's not at all what I said and I wasn't responding to you with that comment. The OP is the one who said GC posters are more than "terse," they are cyberbullying which I believe is completely false. Just because a poster has their different viewpoint challenged, even in a terse or teasing manner, they don't get to accuse others of cyberbullying or of being haters, as the OP suggested.

Hope that clears it up for you. And yes, I'm hoping she gets Ashleigh.
