Rosie,

You don't know me, we have rarely spoken as I'm somewhat new in most
groups.  Please, you have to see what you are doing is not hurting
anyone but you.  It's beginning to make you look almost crazy.

You've got this vendetta that I don't understand.  Once, several
months ago, I tried to look up all the pertinent information so I
could understand what you are doing, and why you feel it necessary to
bring up something that is at least 5 years old.  Never could figure
it out, maybe because it went further back than I did, maybe because
some of the people use "X-no archive: Yes"...  I don't know, and
anymore I don't care.

You have people on your side, who will, shall we say, debate anyone
who disagrees with you.  I won't debate, both sides are wrong.  I have
seen, Rosie, where you are caring and generous (in other groups), and
this persona is so different from the "real Rosie"...  Makes me wonder
which Rosie is real.  The one in the arthritis group, or the one here?

I see where you say that you are upset by what some of the people here
have posted about you, that you have lurked here since the last
outburst.  If you know they are going to write things that you find
hateful, why did you lurk here?  Keep in mind Rosie that those who
know you, in other groups, are saying you are nothing like this
harpie, so those that matter to you (the ones you have something
emotionally invested in) are not listening to the stuff coming from
the "other Rosie".

You aren't helping any newbies with this.  People leave because they
can't deal with what's going on, not that they feel threatened, it's
just too much ... else ... to try and live with.  I left for a time,
and hadn't even been "attacked" by anyone, it was because I didn't
want to read the crazy posts.  I came back, maybe they will come back
when things have settled, as long as this pot is being stirred,
nothing will be settled.

You feel like you have to defend everyone that doesn't know who the
"Other Side" (put in the names of your group for the Other Side) are.
The "other" side feels like they need to defend people against you and
your friends.  If one side stops (with a very notable exception who
can't seem to leave one of the men here alone) why can't the other
side.

Can you stop, please?  If they stop, will you stop?  This isn't about
"someone else" anymore, Rosie.  It's about you and "them".  You aren't
even pretending to protect someone now, you are just posting vileness
and hatefulness (and "they" are responding in kind).  Both sides are
wrong now.  Please, can you just stop?
