Robyn, I hope you will bear with me while I try my best to explain this.

I can't speak for those who acted a little upset at you but I will tell you what upset me just a bit about your post.
I did see that you provided a link to what was said about Roger Haeske, and that when someone couldn't get it to work, you reposted what was said.

Under normal, cordial type circumstances, that would have been a very helpful thing for you to do. But I think due to the shock of the content, and the personal nature of it, I found your re-posting what HeatherM said to be insensitive, under these circumstances.

Roger and Karmyn used to read this board and Karmyn has posted here before. For her to see something like that might be very sad and hurtful for her, and that is the main reason I felt a little uncomfortable with your reposting the one lady's paragraphs.

Thats all I wanted to say really, Robyn. I think you caught a lot of people's shock over the situation and the not-knowing and they might have expressed their frustration on you. But I think you should have been a little more sensitive as well.

You said you don't care what several people here think of you. But I think there are things you should care about, such as being sensitive to posting about a very personal and hurtful event from a couple's life on a board they are likely to be reading in. And being thick-skinned about everything is not always best. I guess I'm still a little upset about it all myself, sorry it happened for them, wondering if they are ok. And irritated that you made the post you did but at the same time knowing it's not really about you, just a lot about the content.

Thanks for listening.

Lynda
