Margo: please don't misunderstand, I was not suggesting that you identified the group as having started the subject on CC. Not at all. I was asking you to stop branding the entire group with the same action as you seemed to be doing on this new board with your post "spawned from"..... as it simply is not true. It would be like me posting on CC that all the members of Luxury Cruise Talk hate pink elephants when only 3 members feel that way. That's all. Nothing more nothing less. I do agree that the post in question caused much trouble for the Rad board and this was unfortunate how it turned out. The poster should not have mentioned our group in her thread as it made it sound like the entire group of ladies agreed with her sentiments and this is simply not true......only the few that posted. I can only speak for myself here but I was not happy that our group had been linked to this mess as I personally do not feel that way. I'm sure that there will be others of this group registering here in time and I know that they don't feel that way also so I am just trying to clear up the misconception that we are all feeling invisible and that there was this grand discussion happening on our website. I also need to mention that our website is exclusive for the simple reason that there is a lot of personal information loaded there that no wants just anyone to have access to.......not because we are busy wagging our tongues. For example: My complete house address, my anniversary date, my birthdate, personal posts about my father's illness and passing, my husband's illness and hospital stay, my kid's totalling my car... stuff like that. We are all pretty comfortable knowing that all of this info stays within the group and would not be passed around and just helps us all to get to know one another better before our cruise. Others have posted in detail about their own past illnesses and even current battles they are facing so that is why our group is private and exclusive. We post private things about ourselves that we don't want or think should be on a public board. The girls now realize that they should post in their own names and that it was incorrect to mention our group name in their thread on CC as it implied we were all of the same school of thought. So please give the rest of these ladies a chance and a break.....don't paint them all with the same brush before they even register here and that is the only point I am trying to drive home. Peace Margo. :) :) :)
