I really want to believe this is a sick joke, because no one could be this stupid. At least I thought they could not be.
You are right. The D9 world is very small, and we do talk to each other. I think non-members get caught up on the perceived rivalries. Hmph. Many of us belong to the same churches and other civic/social organizations.
I hope this young lady heeds your words. You were very nice with her, more than she deserved. Otherwise, she is in for a very rude awakening no matter where she goes. I just hope she doesn't come to Florida. None of our organizations need dead weight.
