Secondly, if you reread my post, I never directed anything towards you. I made a general statement regarding anyone who made condescending posts would obviously be smacked down by the other members. This was a general statement in response to you saying people were ganged up on, and since I've already said I don't see anyone ganging up on you, I fail to see how this statement was all about you. Please let me know where I said you - specifically you - talked down to me or others.
Thirdly, PB I do find you to be a very smart and articulate woman. I wish that whatever happened to you, hadn't of happened. But it seems to be affecting all of us now and our comfort with the board, so maybe it is time that it was dealt with in a more effective manner, or if it has been dealt with, maybe you need a breather to heal? I really don't even know what to say at this point.

I PMed you january. I re-read all of your posts, and you directly addressed me a number of times. You also used "you," and since the posts were written to me, it's only natural for me to think that you were talking about me. You may have been using "you" generically, but I don't think it's odd that I took it to mean me in that context. The internet makes communication challenging since I can't see you or hear your tone of voice, among other nuances.
nwgirl says she didn't feel ganged up on, I thought she was being ganged up on. Next time I won't bother to intervene; I've learned my lesson about fighting other people's battles unbidden. My mistake.
