Wow. Driving home from vacation and I am finally caught up. I thought so many times that I should respond to this or that and forgot them all. But much love to Ashley. Wow. ((Hugs))
Ok, as the "Third Accused" (Second Accused?) I guess I'll type some shit. I've known about this for a long time, but like DZ, I've always found it too stupid to get worked up over.
When everyone migrated to PB, the only reason (literally, the only real reason) that I dragged my feet was that Ouiser & Gisa were mods. The board could go in a lot of different directions, and I felt like they would take it in the wrong one. But all my favorite people came over, and eventually I couldn't bear to be away from you. I won't lie, I was SO happy when their friendship imploded and they were replaced as mods. I just didn't like being I a group that was "represented" by those two.
Before all that happened, Ouiser and I had an incident where we disagreed over something (FWIW - whether or not it's ok to dress your kids up as cowboys & Indians). Instead of just having a normal disagreement, she went on a raging rampage against me that went much farther then our issue-based disagreement. I did not reciprocate. To be fair, she later (much later, after modgate) wrote me a long PM apologizing. For me it didn't change my view of her - she had already shown who she was. But she had friends on here, and I wasn't interested in waging a campaign against her or anything, so I have just ignored her since then.
At some point someone (don't remember who) told me that Ouiser suspected me of contacting her family through FB. it was so ludicrous that it neither upset me nor compelled me to respond. When I dislike someone I stop putting energy into them - I don't put MORE energy into them by fucking around with their personal lives. Anyone who knows me knows this, and I assume new people would figure it out soon. I like to get involved in the debates on here, but not the weirdo drama.
IRT to Gisa, I really disliked her on TB. Then after modgate I thought maybe she had just been unduly influenced by Ouiser and I tried to have more compassion for her. I thought maybe she was just very immature and impressionable. Now I'm pretty sure she's a nutter.
We have so many wonderful women on this board. I'm very glad that these two are no longer prominent members, and I don't care too much about know the specific details of how that happened.
ETA: I'm writing all this after the thread is nearly dead because I was out birthday-ing last night, I know a lot of people are new since all that drama went down so maybe the context Is helpful.
Was this a thread I made? I had a friend on fb get blasted for having her kids dress up as a cowboy and Indian and I remember coming here to ask you all your opinions. But I missed this argument between you two, or I just have an awful memory.

Oh, I didn't remember who made it, or even who fell on which side of the debate. The topic didn't matter, Ouiser was just looking for an excuse to be a jerk.
