I'm sorry that you or anyone thought that I was being 'overly emotional' with my posts.........but even though I KNOW your comment was meant to be a 'dispersion', to me, it's skirting a polite way of saying 'stop being such an overreactive woman'...........


Let's look at what the facts are, shall we??? I lock threads for two reasons.

1) They are becoming counterproductive and dissolving into petty chaos.....and I joined 'JoeDios', not 'Soap Operas 'r' Us'

2) I have been PM'ed, IM'ed, blatantly 'called out' for not stopping it sooner or at the very least 'moderating' it in a more productive and equal fashion. Or I recieve all of the above......and no matter what way I turn, I'm still wrong.

Now don't think that I'm 'freaking out' like all women MUST do.......I may not have been in the 'admin' job online for long, but I do Mod at 5 different sites, and I'm raising a teenager and I hold rather prominent positions in not only my church, but the Boy Scouts of America.....
So, I can assure you all that even when it seems like I'm 'overreacting'........I haven't even gotten past '1' on my 'freak dial'

And my 'outburst' was a direct result of so many people jumping on the bandwagon to beg Frank not to leave, when not everyone has all the facts........

I know that some of you think this is a 'boys club', and perhaps I have no business here, but I can assure you that this thought can't be further from the truth.

I'm just stating that I'll 'loosen the reigns'........and let's see where the horses take us..........down the path, or over the cliff. And since I'm proud of myself, my collection and the story I want to tell, so I guess you'll have to put up with me.....

As for Frank, I thought I knew where he and I stood friendship-wise.....but even I can admit when I'm wrong.........and for that I'm sorry as well........

Take good care Frank............
