Well I really stepped into it over on one of the glass forums. I should know better. If you don't agree with these folks they'll turn on you like a pack of rabid dogs. It's happened to me enough times I should know better.
This time they were breaking out the torches and pitchforks and going after someone who made an innocuous post (ok so it was the 2nd such in 24 hours with the same subject) and insisting said poster was dissing the "doyenne" of ebay.
My take on all this is EVERYone is jealous as hell of the money this person makes but they wouldn't admit it if you rammed bamboo splinters under their fingernails. And if that's politically incorrect in today's climate TS. OK now I'm pissed.
ANYway. They have all but flayed this person for her one paragraph post. She at least has had sense enough not to come back. I, on the other hand, was stupid enough to wade in and voice my opinion. See above.
I made the JOKING comment that maybe we should hand out some midol.
dear god.
You'd think I suggested that they ate their young. Now they're after me. Again.
Guess they lost their collective sense of humor today.
So now I've vented a bit and feel a little better but not much. I mean, I ask you. Is it SO unreasonable to expect people to get along? If they were sick of reading about this woman wanting to know the big "secret" to working Terra why the hell did they enter the thread and start posting? Well, I'll tell you why. They were all in a peevish mood and looking to vent on someone. First it was BK and now it's me. And they're too cowardly to admit it.

The stairs aren't usually this wet!
The pump is ok, about 12" above the water.
You can usually see a "sand bar" downstream towards the bridge but it's under water today.
The neighbor's field is getting a good soaking.
Neighbor's field again.
Upstream is also flooded. Good thing we're 8' out of a 100 year flood!
