sugar and spice -- I think you asked why I'd say that I didn't want to bother posting for fear of being flamed.

I'm absolutely sick of the same five or six girls bullying around whoever they can reach -- and then acting shocked and befuddled that ANYONE could EVER think they'd be nasty to ANYONE.

There's a reason threads get abandoned when those five or six girls show up. There's a reason people have been leaving GC in droves. And there's a reason that most of the time, when they leave, they cite the negative atmosphere those five or six girls foster.

Look, that's fine if you want to be nasty to anyone who doesn't agree with you, and mobilize your five closest friends.

But please don't claim complete innocence and shriek, "it's the internet!!!" as your rationale.

Yes, it's the internet -- not carte blanche to gang up on folks.

Yes, it's GC -- not your personal chat site where anyone who doesn't agree with you is banned or excluded. Most of us are here to get ideas, trade tips, and have RESPECTFUL discussions with each other.

This is high school activity at its finest.... all I can say it, maybe that's how I was at eighteen or nineteen, but I sure hope not.

From the flood of pms I've gotten in the last 2 days, I'd like to say that many, many GCers agree--and I want to salute HotDamn and James for their views on GC meanness. Most of it is unwarranted and it has driven away some good people. No one likes to be harassed, flamed for no reason, sniped at, etc.

I have no idea what all mullet did but she no doubt got your message. Let's get back to what we were like a year or so ago.
