I would like to say that I agree with a lot of what violetalum has to say. She really hit the nail on the head with a lot of her points about stating our opinions on this board OR being afraid to do so. Sometimes GC members do snap at posters for questions they have asked or answered.
In regards to OTW, she is a very active member of this message board who apparently takes her job as a moderator very seriously. I mean that in a GOOD way. However, there have been a few posts that could be interpreted as rude. For example, when I read OTW's response to daisyflower's post it really upset me. She states, "since you're not too vocal on this board, I'll excuse that comment."
Carnation...
You asked violetalum who SHE thinks she is for questioning OTW's antics, since OTW is an active and respected member on this message board. On the flip side though, who is OTW to excuse someone else's comment on this message board? Those sort of statements are enough to keep people from posting and from answering posts.
Again, we are all equal members of this community and have the right to ask and answer any question we so desire. That means that OTW can say whatever she wants...as she said she would...BUT she, along with everyone else, needs to respect what other people have to say too - such as daisyflower's statment.
I hope this makes sense to you all. I did not intend for this comment to be rude.
Greek Love,
Christina
