She will continue to be surrounded by all of the same people she was surrounded by on the other board. The ones she was oh so embarrassed to be associated with.
Seriously, Ala. I'm calling a truce here. You don't like me. I don't have anything against you. That's okay. We don't all have to love each other. But I don't disrespect you or any of the other girls.
I still talk to a few of the girls on the board. This is a good way to catch up with the girls I still talk to and see my old friends. I have been here much longer than you and have formed friendships and bonds with many of these women. As much as you or any one else might think, I considered many of you all my friends and still care for many of the girls here. Shit happens. Move on.
I am not trying to accomplish anything. There is no ulterior motives. There isn't some sort of prize at the end. I don't know what you want from me or what answers you are expecting.
Maybe she wants to just be friends. What happened was in the past. It was crappy all around, but I don't see where hating on her is the right way.
I am completely capable of getting along or ignoring people I don't like or don't agree with.
Not so much with people who share personal information about others or insult the entire group to fit in on another board and then act as if nothing happened.
Ditto PP's. We aren't the board police, but we are genuinely curious as to why she would want to post her again. She made her feelings about the board abundantly clear.

Answers? No. An apology would be nice. An apology for jumping ship in the first place, and then one for shit-talking BNOTBers as a whole to ML would be appropriate, too.

I did send everyone an apology on FB. A detailed note that expressed my feelings and my actions.

It was a mass message validating your actions, which is not the same thing as an apology. There's not a single "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" in there, which is why I have gone on thinking that you didn't want us as friends.
I can forgive and forget pretty easy- I'm not good at holding a grudge- but the shit you said on ML was really fucked up.
Dovey and I have talked. I've said angry things to her, we bitched at each other and apologies were made. As things stand for me, I count Dovey as my friend.
I'm not looking for a mass Team Dovey or Team Ala here.
I'm over it. Let it go. If you don't want to be my friend, that's fine. It's your choice, not mine.
As far as an apology, like i said in that FB message: A simple “Hey, I’m sorry she said that to you and I told her that it was not right” would have gone a really, really long way. I felt really betrayed.
I opened the door for communication right there. I even stated on the message, that I am opening the door to communication. Few of you responded back. Those who did respond back, did get a heartfelt apology. We talked it out. We became close and I'd like to think that things are good now.

This is all I'm going to say about it...
1) Re: the first bolded line, "A simple “Hey, I’m sorry she said that to you and I told her that it was not right” would have gone a really, really long way." I wasn't even here when the thread occured with the posts that got you upset. I was out of the country, as a matter of fact and hadn't checked TN in over 4 days. I told you this in my FB repsonse as well as not appreciating being lumped in to an entire group of who you were upset with. I betrayed no one in this whole debacle, I chose to not get involved since I never saw the thread that was at the source of the uproar.
2) Re: the second bolded section, "Few of you responded back. Those who did respond back, did get a heartfelt apology." I sent you a rather lengthy response not only acknowledging that you were hurt and I felt bad that you felt that way, but I also offered some advice. Whether you really took it to heart, I have no idea but I was putting it out there hoping maybe you would be willing to consider what I had to say as someone who is a bit older than you and may have another perspective or some wisdom to offer.
