Barbalee said:Some great thoughts here, particularly those kicked off by Pam since I last read in this section. Not long ago, I asked a question that was a real question on my front, and somebody answered "You must be kidding." For about 2 seconds my feelings were hurt and I was tempted to make a reply...I didn't. The next day someone answered it, and it was a question to almost everyone, but not newbie me! I have learned a great deal just being here, asking questions, and doing a lot of lurking. I know I have a lot yet to learn since this is my first year gardening. I certainly hope I've never hurt anyone's feelings, but I bet I have...it's all too easy to do even if totally unintentional. If someone reading this has ever had their feelings hurt, please forgive me as I'd never do that purposefully!!

Henhouse said:I'm sorry it came to that, and I'm sorry that this gal just didn't get it... but frankly, the tone of the forum had shifted considerably with her posts. I always felt comfortable with all you folks, but it was easier for me to back away and not participate in the forum, rather than be constantly irritated and made uncomfortable by one person.
I'm sure it was a hard decision to make for those who complained. I've chatted with most of you for a while now, and I think of all of you as kind and generous folks, so I know this wasn't a matter of anyone just being mean-spirited.
