OK .... this is just crazy and has gotten way out of hand!
I was NOT going to post about the Marti / Skunka thing ... but since she has posted to the forum, I guess this will never end until it goes public.
That's correct. I didn't think a public form was the right place to bring it up. You never PM'd me to discuss it. For the record, you have never TOLD me specifically what it was that offended you.
This is what you wrote:
Do ... I offended you HOW? You mention you are a Christian and were offended by some of my comments. What comments could have POSSIBLY offended you??? I told a story about me and my DH. He is Catholic and I am Jewish. I wanted our child to be raised Jewish? How can that possibly be offensive? I did remove the post hoping that wouldn't further fuel the problem. The only thing I can think of that MAY have been construed as offensive was the last line were I said something like *I wanted him raised Jewish - not Catholic* The "not Catholic" part was only mean to reference the other religion --- it was not a negative in ANY way. No where else in the post did I mention the other religion.
If if was something else I said, than out with it already! I'm not here to play guessing games. You have had no problem dragging me through the mud on this board .... so let's make it done with!
The question to Denise was NOT meant to offend. I posted already that I wanted to bring up the GAC and I apparently did it awkwardly. I did apologize to Denise. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would offend her. Apparently I did ... and I have apologized to her.
Now ... your husband spent the better part of a day or so ripping into me with his little snide remarks. I took offense, but never posted about it. I tried to let it slide. I chalked it up to the good natured humor and SARCASM we have ALL used in posting! What's sad is now I *know* it was not meant good naturedly. It was admitted. And there was NO APOLOGY to me! Am I sitting here demanding an apology? No, I just wanted to move one. Apparently neither of you do.
Kate, you did PM me about the situation, but I had already PM'd you. Marti and Paul felt the need to "take it to the boards". I never said ANYTHING derogatory to EITHER of them. They same cannot be said.
About Kate and the bomb post. Yes, it was me. Before you GASP, this is being taken totally out of context. We -- meaning MANY of us -- have posted images of the stupidest things we were talking about. Most recently, there was a post about riding TOT. Miss Missy posted a picture of a bullet proof vest. I thought it was sarcastic and funny. The OP of the TOT story (sorry, it's lost right now and I am NOT chancing another server error -- maybe it's Becky???) was RIGHTLY freaked out when it was happening. I think in posting she was laughing in retrospect.
Now, the PM to Kate. She posted that she had cleared her PM box. I believe it was Miss Missy who posted after that something like "let's all bomb her with PMs" (again - I do not have the exact text)
this is EXACTLY what I PM'd Kate
SUBJECT: You will be assimilated ....
MESSAGE:
I think we were TOLD to do this!
bombs away!
Now, taken out of context, I can see how getting a bomb in your PM could have been taken as a threat. I made the mistake of assuming Kate was reading and was up with us.
A bomb threat? not at all.
This is a PUBLIC APOLOGY to Kate. I am sorry that I sent it. It was never intended to be anything but a stupid "funny" to fill you PM box.
What's been most clear to me is that I am being RAILROADED! No one has said a THING to Paul for his mean spirited posts to me. It seems to be very easy to pin all blame on me. And that's exactly what is being done.
I welcome comments about this from anyone. I can't believe another thread has been started -- as if I am some sort of infection you need to get away from!
. There are lots of unstable people on the Internet, as evidenced by this thread, so IMHO, she is perfectly within her rights to be upset. But, since you have such a firm grasp on the situation, why don't you tell us what your role was in it.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
