You made it personal when you failed to inform people you were talking about, that you were talking about them, thereby failing to give them a chance to defend themselves. Mash away. Just be certain that you cross every t and dot every i from this point on. I have found the abuse button. Oh, BTW, I said “seemingly”, that is NOT making it personal. I did NOT say you were. It seems you are desperate. Not you ARE desperate.
Well, be sure to let metmom know about that “making it personal when you failed to inform people you were talking baiout, thereby failing to give them a chance to defend themselves.” Because she SEEMS to have a habit of doing that.
You have found the abuse button? Wonderful for you. I hope it makes you happy. Now you can be a hall monitor, if that’s what you want.
It is a courtesy, nothing more. So what exactly are your damages? Are your feelings hurt? Do you feel disrespected? Insignificant? Trivialized?
You were mentioned on a thread that you are very active on and responded to the posting within minutes of it being posted. Seems to me that there is, no harm, no foul, no damages.
