acapella and the other n-partners

OMG Echo,
LOL, you are right, a broken watch is right 2 times a day. LOL, geese louise. I swear some times I wonder about myself.
Echo you might be doubting alot of people right now because of this incident. Time will tell hun who speaks in tongue from those who speak the truth. I could sit here and tell you until the cows come home that I am a truthful person. Doesnt mean I am. I had to learn that the hard way. But I am telling you I am a person of my word and I promise you that over time you will see that from me as well as others here.
I refuse to suspect everyone of being a damn liar liar pants on fire. But it sure does make you walk a little slower towards someone, doesnt it?
Lets not lose faith in everyone just because we are disapointed in a few. I will not live my life with doubt about everyones character, but I will be damned if I will live it with blinders on either. Give everyone a chance to prove their abilities to be a trusting confidant. The reward will be worth the wait.

I thought I'd add some support to those who recently were removed from n-partners by sand. I joined n-partners the same month sand did and I have watched for 2 full years now as she has moved from being member to asst. manager and then manager. I have not bothered to post over there in ages because of sand's methods. IMHO she cannot tolerate it when someone comes along who generates more than a modicum of support among the members, like herm did. It appears as though this threatens her and she eventually strikes out at them to try to undermine them (lest they usurp her lofty status ?) I saw her strike out at herm in the thread about "n's and aa", and I don't blame herm for responding the way she did. Sand was out of line. But you see, as long as sand is the manager she (and only she) is allowed to be out of line. There isn't a thing anyone can do about it - she is in charge of the delete button. There have been many valuable viewpoints lost to n-partners because of sand's behavior. The only available recourse for those valuable viewpoints is to either leave, as some here have, or stop posting, as I have, and just go on viewing the site for new people's valuable viewpoints. I generally just click past sand's posts, she has made herself someone whose viewpoints I have no use for anymore in light of her unreasonableness. You guys are right, in case it helps to hear it from another corner.

Yes, it helps tremendously. I can't thank you enough for your support.
When I joined the group, Hermione posted frequently and, I thought, had great comments 99.9% of the time. I am sure that Sandahl felt threatened. The group began to look at Hermione as a leader. I have no problem admitting that Hermione has more technical knowledge than me. Also, she has better insight than me most of the time. therefore, i was terribly sorry to have her leave.
I hope that eventually you will join us.

That was exactly how I felt when I read the post you are talking about. I know some people can misjudge your words or the meaning behind them, but I dont think this is the case here.
I have a morbid curiosity and go back to read the boards now and what is being said. I have compared her posts now to the ones with Herm and this is an obvious shift in her demeanor. That tells me she is either glad that herm is gone and she feels less threatened, or she is doing some woe is me to get support and sympathy for this situation.
Sometimes reinforcement comes from the least likely sources. I felt I learned alot from that site, but I also realise that I followed the right ones out of that place. Wait, should I say I was ejected with the right ones from the place. Well ya know that saying "I have been kicked out of better places than that", I think that applies with this ordeal.

Nike,
--- Quote ---Im not meaning to be rude to you , really I'm not it's just that I've seen both sides and yes I can see where Sand was wrong about some things, although I think it was pretty insignificant stuff girls. I dont know why you made such a big deal out of it demanding that she do this and do that.
--- End quote ---
It was Sandahl, who I got that you say you are not (nearly Dr. Suess that was) - that demanded apologies (condition of being let back into the Sandahl site) and that we calm down.
Have you seen both sides? No one else here has. It wasn't allowed.
I wanted the posts to stay and it wasn't to PROVE anyone right or wrong - only to let everyone decide for themselves what they felt with as much info as possible and to keep some integrity within a string of posts about the sadness of someone leaving and within discussions about when posts are or are not deleted.
