Stay away from the main board!!!!
Earlier I was feeling lonely and went o the main board, well, have I made some "friends" or what?! I tried to help a girl who was upset saying that she was gonna wake up her children and make them clean! Well, apparently she was just "kidding", and me, a children's rights advocate, believed her and tried to ask her not to do that to the children and to count to 10... I compared the action to the "mommy dearest" movie, but I think I was very nice about it! Well, my mail box has been filled with hate emails and I have been called every name in the book, although, as soon as she said she was just kidding (how was I supposed to know, right!?) I was fast to "retrieve my comment" and appologise... Now at least 50 people think I am arrogant, and that I need to get over myself (amongst other unmentionable things!) Nevertheless, I stand my ground, the girl said she was gonna do something and how was I supposed to know she was kidding!? she had no smiles or giggles on the post!! Everyone read and jumped in the bandwagon to "witch hunt" me! What a night! The full moon is out there! If you read that, I am not a bad person!! I promise!

Went to the main board after reading your post... I usually stay away from the main board unless I get really really board....
What you said was perfect. The woman was a nut for threatening to wake her kids up in the middle of the night. Second you don't give kids your good cook book and expect them to take care of it..So the only one at fault was her for giving it to them. Could have easily had her pretend she had a cook book...KIDs are KIDs
But to make a long story short... several posts after you agreed with you then one silly person blew the whole thing out of proportion...
I agree with you for the most part stay away from the main message board...too much drama..
You are a good person Falvia...
