In reply to the discussion: I'm sorry, but this group is abusing it's "privilege". [View all]seaglass
(8,181 posts)but I have since understood what I did not understand at the time. And on that note, my apologies to members of this group for any hurtful statements I had made to you in the past.
I was not trying to say you are a MG participant, just that you have a non-antagonist relationship with that group.
Perhaps your post would have been more appropriate in a PM if it is all about protecting this group from the ire of others. As it is now, with your post and recommendation for this thread it looks like more piling on. I have seen some of your recent comments in GD to HoF members and it does seem more like you are joining in the attacks rather than trying to help those you feel an affinity to. IMO those remarks would have been more beneficial as PMs if your goal is support vs. attack. Obviously we all have different views of what is supportive and what is not. In the current environment I am not going to publicly call out anyone in this group if I disagree because I do not find it helpful.
I abhor the one-sided nature of this thread and agreement to it because I know that I have been called out in the Men's Group as have rq, sea, TA, Baines and probably others. Many comments are made in that group discretely referring to members here. While they may think they have plausible deniability because they don't always use names and thus avoid juries, the women in this group are not stupid nor paranoid. I know the MG does not have many participants and maybe people feel it is too boring or something to read through their threads and that is why they are unaware of the games being played.
