I have received a message in my personal page "asking" that I come back to this thread, and others telling me I don't need to stick up for Mbo. And one really rude and mean note too, thanks so much. And one really nice caring one, altho off target. Someone mentioned Mother Teresa, and I still don't get that one.What was I thinking? I thought maybe a nudge, that the "good fun" you were having wasn't necessarily fun for all, might be relevant. Oh well. Some of you forgot that not everyone knows the history behind every item in the forum, and I don't know you all well enough not to get scared sometimes. Risk of newbies, eh?
Most of the mail in my personal page looked to me like people responding to who they think I ought to be. Well, I am not just one-dimensional. I have a full spice shelf. I'll be the first to admit that I may not always use it properly... but every once in awhile I may let out a holler if you jump on my toes, even if inadvertently.
I really was not trying to stick up for anybody. Mbo is perfectly capable of doing that at any time he decides it makes sense to, and I'm not his mom.
I wrote what I did in this thread because what was being said was personally hurtful to me, and I said so. It's as simple as that. If that is hard to understand, I'm sorry. I said it as clear as I could.
