It's not about ignorance is bliss; it's about not really caring. I believe I stated my position quite clearly. There is no reason for me to spend any more time researching posts and trying to figure out who is who because I am not defending anything past or future here. If it is a fact that txmedia is the other poster, take it up with a moderator, find out why they allow something that is obviously so upsetting to several people, and/or IGNORE the poster(s). That is what most moderators in any forum would/should say...that if you have a problem with someone, ignore them. Common sense. Some people just can't help themselves, they have to involve themselves in situations that anyone who knows the whole story could predict will end up in drama.
My reason for commenting at all was based on this thread (not the past) and what was said here and here only, that is why I have no plans to spend more time researching. I am not involved in drama from other threads and this has gone on way too long already anyway. Bottom line: I did not view txmedia's response to Mary as rude, and I thought it was an overreaction that everyone was saying he/she had an attitude, was "retaliatory" and so forth. So I didn't blame tx when he/she said the hen comment. Apparently because of all the "history" other people decided it was rude, but reading it as someone who is not involved in all the drama/past and holds no grudges towards anyone involved, it was fine to me and I thought others were being rude to txmedia. If you think txmedia's 2nd post in this thread, which started all this silly drama, was retaliatory and attitude-filled (standing alone with no influence from anything in the past), okie dokie -- I don't. People bringing grudges over from other threads is much worse than any original offense txmedia supposedly did in this thread. Have allegedly legit reasons why you want to post in the threads of people you can't stand? Fine.... but you are entering a thread where the person probably doesn't like you either... so suck it up and don't expect sunshine and roses ....and don't whine about it yourself when things don't go well!
I think I have addressed everything. We don't and won't agree on this and I have said about all I can say and would prefer to move on. As I said, I will check back to see what walesmaven (or anyone) can come up with as far as his/her accusation about all the "numerous" threads I have supposedly called people names and made trouble in.
