Last words

I appreciate the apology.

better late than never, though it's a shame it had to go down this way. good luck with your planning. hopefully you understand and take some of it to heart. maybe after everyone gets over it, you will come back.

Well said.

IMO, I do not think you should let these 'bullies' (that is how some of you girls are acting) convince you to leave this site. This site is for everyone, not just the poeple who's opinions we agree with. This is really sad that a lot of girls on here have this 'pack mentality' and get involved in conversations that should have been handled by you and Christine. Well, whatever you decide, I wish you luck. Have a great wedding.

I am kinda disguisted by the way some of you girls have acted....JMHO

Everyone, concentrate of planning your wedding and not all this other high school crap

It was not only Christine who was offended by the comment, so others had every right to comment on their opinions and views as well. Just IMO.

I'm not saying that you did not have the right to comment. We all had the right to comment as much as Emberlynn had the right to say what she said right?> That's all I'm saying, everyone is ganging up on her but I think this whole conversation could have been handled by Christine and Emberlynn. There was no need to start this whole thread and get everyone to gang up on one girl, I think that is childish and immature. That's all.

I posted the thread - true.

However, there were MANY ladies that responded and felt the same way that I did. Not only on my thread, but on the original thread that warranted these actions.

It was not an issue just between Bonnie and myself in no means. It was her response to a post on a pubic forum that offended many and many have responded.

ETA: I'm in agreement with Jessica's statement above.

I am really not a fan of name calling at all. people were angry, and sometimes they say things while they are angry. I don't think that is bullying. it just escalated and went somewhere it probably shouldn't have, but it is also partially b/c when Ember could have apologized and doused the fires with water...she got defensive and poured gasoline.

YOUR comments, especially the name calling, could have also been sent via forum mail to Bonnie, as I am sure you are aware your comments could cause more drama on this board.

we should ALL try to be mindful of what we say and how we say it...and try not to throw bricks at glass houses. that jMo....

OK, I am not interested in starting another battle, all I was saying is things got out of hand, if you don't agree then that's fine but everyone should not have ganged up on her like that. We have this right in the US called freedom of speech and emberlynn has the right to say whatever she wants and if it offends you, the two of you should have discussed it between yourselves. That's all. I am not taking sides, I am just stating my opinion. Now let's get back to the fun stuff....planning our weddings

don't shot the messager- Christine was speaking on a few people behalves- myself included- I was very insulted by Bonnie's comment- it was untrue and in poor taste

I'm sorry I do not understand your post. By name calling are you referring to when I said you girls were acting like bullies? I'm sorry but that is what it seemed like when I read all the posts. Just want to say that I do not agree with alot of things that are said on this board but I do not start a thread about them. I think we are taking the focus off what this board is all about....weddings, fun times, being around people you love. Let's everyone try to stay focused and grounded.....JMHO

This board is about weddings, but we do also share things that are 'NWR'

The original post hit too close to home for many of us.

I do not want to attack you and I do understand your point of view 100%, in the same way though, it was a very inappropriate comment to make.

Ok Christine, I was posting my opinion. There is no need to yell by using all caps. We understand where you are coming from. 9/11 affected us ALL. Let's try to keep everything in perspective.

Who are we to say what is untrue or not, It was her opinion. That's what opinions are all about, some people will agree, some people will not, that's life

I agree that is was inappropriate, I'm sorry for any confusion, I was not intending to start a fight or anything, I was trying to see things from Bonnie's perspective. If everyone was attacking me, I would get defensive too ......
