[quote=CA renter]I concur with sdgrrl and mixalot, among others. BG might have strong opinions, as do many others here, but she’s made quite a few valuable contributions as well.

The nonsensical personal drama and name-calling that goes on here detracts dramatically from the overall discussions and debates. It’s a shame because there are quite a few really insightful posters who’ve been silenced by the ugly behavior of a small minority of posters.[/quote]

As I’ve said, as long as she continues to not put words in other peoples mouths, as long as she continues to not lie about what other people have said, as long as she continues to not say that I have said things that I didn’t say, I concur.

But if she’s going to say that I said things about my marriage that I didn’t say, I’m going to stand up to that. You people might not know me, but there are people who read this blog who know who I am, who are friends of mine. If she said, “CA renter, you said in a previous post that your husband is a selfish jerk,” even when you didn’t say it, I don’t think you’d have quite the same attitude.

All of this happened a year and a half ago, and I had let it go. I said, a year and a half ago, that she should clean up her act or go. And you agreed that she should clean up her act. And, as far as I can tell, she did. Not sure what’s different now.
