As far as the judgmental part, there are some really rotten, nasty posters on here who do nothing BUT judge, and yet you seem to have no problem with them or the things they say. These people have been riding Sheena the whole time: accusing her of making up a story, following her around City-Data collecting clues that they can solve with the decoder ring they found in their box of Crazy Flakes, saying that her husband DESERVED to be beaten up, and yet you don't seem to have a problem with any of that. It's only when it offends YOU that it matters, right??

I do have a problem with what has been said by these posters and said so privately to Sheena. I thought she had them on ignore. I have stuck up for both Sheena and her husband in several posts. I do not respond to posts that appear to be anything more than axe grinding from one person against another. Those type of posts do nothing to enhance a conversation and truly when they are as outlandish as calling someone a liar, what would be the point? Yes what they are doing is cutting and running, you cut your losses and run from a bad situation, which I have encoraged them to do from the begining. Sorry if you seem so bothered by what I am offended by. I thought this was a message board where people could respectfully voice their opinion. I am not sure why you seem so annoyed, Sheena and I have been "talking" for a few years here and hail from the same area, it does not mean I have to agree with everything she posts. I still can not see why you find it so out of line for me to feel offended that calling people who choose to stay in an area that did not meet their expectations irresponsible?

I'm not bothered by what you are offended by, and I am glad that you have talked to Sheena about this privately. My apologies. I felt that you were calling her out to the carpet the way that others have, which I feel has been completely unfair. But it wasn't right for me to call you out on the carpet either, and for that I apologize.

TBH, I'm frustrated and sickened by what this message board has become. I know I've only been a member since 2010 and haven't posted often, but I have been reading the board for much longer than that. Once upon a time you are correct: people were able to respectfully voice their opinion and share ideas. Unfortunately lately it seems that posts always take a negative bent and it's always the same members who point the post in that direction. I couldn't even post about the Bloomsburg Fair without receiving responses and PMs that had to be reported because they were so downright crude and nasty. It's frustrating to me because it's just a message board and it should be fun; instead it's become a forum for some very angry people to work through their psychological issues. However, I should not have taken any of this out on you. You didn't deserve my backlash, and I do sincerely apologize.

You're welcome. You've always been nice and I was out of line.

Sorry Sheena, but this thread is no longer productive. Please start a new thread if you'd like to update us on your news.
