hi Madwand.
I guess I can't really see your point of view but that's because you (maybe? I don't know if you were around then) weren't around for it.I don't know that's it's fair to compare our situations. I wasn't DIRECTLY affected, but I was here. And I saw how this affected many of our dearest posters. It was really bad, Madwand. I'm sure it'll come out in the next few days, but really, it was VERY bad and even if it CAN be forgiven it will NEVER be forgotten. You'd understand more I think, if you'd witnessed it.
>>I do not wish to fan flames
Ok. I wish they wouldn't be fanned at all but I think they already have.>>the board can be done in a healthy and productive manner. Someone makes a mistake
This was not one mistake. I've made mistakes too. This was many 'mistakes'.
>>They come back as "someone else" and establish a track record of being positive and supportive.
madwand, i know you probably don't know this but there were other 'reincarnations'...not just under the name of galkeepinon. There were scathing posts under a different name. So you see, Kristen didn't just 'come clean' in a healthy and productive way. Now it's really hurtful.
>>person has in fact changed -- something they might not have been willing to see had she "come back" as her original persona.
There's more to it than that. And the change that you perceive is a bit of an illusion. I understand and think it's nice that you are trying to see this in a positive light. I would try to do the same thing I think, in your situation.
>>am sorry that you cannot see this the way I do, but that is your choice. Mine is different.
I, in turn, am sorry that you do not/cannot see it the way others can. But you weren't there and I really don't think you have enough info to voice an opinion about it. i understand that you want to think positively about this.
>> Peace be unto you Karen, and hopefully we will cross paths later under better circumstances.
Thanks, but I already am at peace...I'm just really frustrated. Actually moreso after reading your post.
