Warning: This is a rant... and yes, it is also long winded. No need to reply with complaints - you've been warned.
Looks like I missed a little drama while I was out for dinner..? I saw the first few posts of a thread that is now gone so I'm assuming that's the crime scene.I have no idea who, how or what... all I know is that Isabelle seems to be bowing out.
Isabelle, I know it gets frustrating like hell sometimes. It is definitely a challenge to debate or play devils advocate on a message board (as opposed to face to face), especially with ppl who've never met you... and especially when ppl take it too seriously. BUT I do enjoy reading your witty posts and I LOVE that you say what you think and are not trying to kiss anyone's ass... also that you're extremely articulate when doing so. You can't stop posting!?
I don't care if some feel we shouldn't be posting at all, I think us posting balances things out. Sometimes gives a different perspective on things. And there aren't that many of us.. and even less who actually give our opinion on things!
I have no idea what was said, but it was probably 1 or 2 members opinion.. I'm sure there are waaaay more who do read your posts and just like me, don't want to see you go into lurker mode..

I could have PM'd this but I'd rather post it because I don't think it's cool that most threads seem to end in bickering and that pretty much all threads I've posted on over the past week actually disappeared.
I've been considering not posting after a couple comments that really upset/pissed me off about someone's opinion that we shouldn't be posting here and another who thought that's why SP's get beaten up (referring to my post..) Granted what I initially wrote was a little harsh (in the way it was written - IMHO still not out of line but should have still cooled off a little before posting
) but WTF is with these comments guys? Would you say it to my face? Would you let it go if you heard someone say that in your presence?
Why is it so common and ACCEPTED to have a member use the "you're just a hooker/escort/whatever" as some kind of argument? and then almost always followed by a "well it's not my fault if you have issues with your occupation"..which are both irrelevant to the topic being debated. I've read that so many times.. I guess it's the official "i have no more arguments but she does so let's just get her pissed off.." ?
I know most of you don't feel that way.. but why put up with it from others then? I think it's too bad that a few ppl make it so smart, real and interesting sexy girls like Isabelle don't want to post... and I'm sure lots more stay away for the same reason. Should we all just not bother at all?
*sigh* I know... not much to do about it.. but I still think it's a shame. The situation and Isabelle's decision..
