Re: Re: OT: Cheryl

,

 

I am sorry you feel angry at the moment.  Yes, I was part of the other group.  I don't remember any discussion.  I got upset with one day for telling Lena off and left.  The next day or the day after, Lena emailed to te me Thane had started a new group.  But that is all beside the point.

 

I actually cancelled my membership on this forum several weeks ago as I was so busy with LymeHope etc.  I was asked to come back and help set this up.  This was NOT my idea.  I support it and think it is a great new venue.  I was happy to help out.

 

I have nothing to gain by either forum, .  But if you will go to the new forum you will notice that people have already begain asking Lady B questions about their teasel etc.   This is networking at its best!  If you don't want to talk with Lady B, you don't have to.    But to deny others the ability to get their questions answered isn't quite fair.

 

Again, you can continue to chat with all your friends....this is a move, not a take over!

 

, can't we at least give it a try?

Hi Cheryl,You have been a valued member of this group, but I am pretty upset that you and Thane set up this new website with the intent of shutting down this group and did not have any discussion with regard to the needs of the rest of the group. Some of the people that you have brought to this board have been controversial to say the least and some of the members were upset that these folks were allowed on our forum and for valid reasons. I appreciated your teleconferences for disseminating information on various topics. However, I didn't realize that a group take over was pending. I see this move as a chance for you to give a platform for these practitioners and circumvent the wishes of some of the highly respected group members who opposed this. I don't recall if you were in the original group split, but many of us go way back in the Lyme and Rife community and really want this group to continue as it has been in the past without the threat of salesman hawking their wares. I really oppose what has happened if you wanted to moderate another group, then why didn't you set it up and invite members over instead of doing a take over. Sorry but I am angry over this new turn of events.
