Cookie (love the name as well), and I take issue with just one thing. You posted: I am simply frustrated at her unwillingness to listen and believe others.
I think there is enough of that disorder (not listening) to go around. I think if you read all 4 original threads touching on a similar theme, you may agree. Yet for whatever reason, NR is the ONLY person to be singled out. You even declare we are all guilty, yet address your remarks to one individual.
Several posters have even stated there is no right or wrong. But apparently the consensus is very much that NR is wrong.
I don’t feel the topic, question, debate, argument, what have you, during the initial meet-up thread, was begun well on NR’s part. But I also don’t agree that assigning evil intentions, as was done repeatedly, was appropriate. It would tend to make a person defensive and desiring to clear their name, so to speak.
I re-read every thread ( a couple of them have since been deleted) multiple times. I pointed out some of the hypocrisy by highlighting direct quotes. The name calling and accusations were coming from one side, and the list was long. I was ignored, treated rudely, or also told to shut up and move on (in so many words).
Every one is so bent on showing NR the error of her ways, but very few are willing to take a look in the mirror. I can tell you’re trying very hard to maintain civility, but you are inadvertently joining the same chorus.
I’m sure you and your partner are good, genuine people, but I am bothered by how the LGBTQ community and their cheer squad has handled this. Thus, why I started this thread to begin with.
At any rate, I appreciate you weighing in with your perspective, and I hope you continue to participate.
