Im just getting online today,i feel so bad for whats been happening to you on the board.I know you are hurt,feel betrayed and you are angry.
Why not just come right out and say whats bothering you,get it out,i know most people know whats going on,and some will deny til the end.But i like to think most people will be willing to be open and honest and say what they know or think they know.
Theres no reason we cant all get along here....calling the cops...coem on the is a meesage board on the internet,do you all realise what this looks like,i would say go back and read and see how childish it all sounds,but the thread is gone.
Please,Carol,Gina,Lisa,Denae,Michell,somehow someway try and work this out.This board has enoguh problems as it is,it doesnt need you guys all going at it too.As far as the one hiding behind a new screenname,obviously its some coward who is very very familiar with the board,but doens have the balls to post unde their real name,i for one,will totally ignore them and their repl;ies,period,they are not worth the minute it takes of my time to read.
Can i help mediate in anyway,i care about this board very much and like you all,i would like to help if possible.My email is listed below,
Hang in there Carol,you are strong and very caring,you can get through this crap,again,i wouldlike to help?~KIM
Well said, Carol
Carol,
If nobody has told you yet today, you are loved. Your friends know you have been victimized by this group to the point of fearing for your safety. I don't blame you one bit. Anyone who thinks that is outlandish doesn't understand the extent of what some people will do. Your friends know that what happens on this board is nothing close to what has happened OFF this board. This clique has chosen you as their target, and I forgive you for being human and allowing some of it to HURT.
More than anything, I want you to know how grateful I am to have you as a friend. You know that our friendship extends beyond the bounds of the internet, and I'm looking forward to our vacation and having our families meet. I never, in a million years, would have ever dreamed that I could trust someone from the internet that much. I'm so cautious, I still don't use my first name on this board. Thank you for being there for me every single time I needed you.
Hugs,
Atlas

I too think of Carol as a friend that I totally trust. I dont get too involved in the politics of this board as most of it never relates to recovery ever. most topics are usually off topic and just general chit chat with no mention of recovery. with all the trolls and people with various names on this board I have found it best to stick with face to face recovery and keep my reality away from the computer. It is my opinion and mine only that there is very little clean time on this board in general. And if you are clean you can easily see this. behavior doesnt stay the same when you stop using, unless you have major issues when you get clean a new life begins to emerge. some are sicker than others and that is apparent on this board. I still have my problems but they are nothing compared to when i was using.
Carol.......
Ditto all of that..........
I am so sorry this happened. Jeesh, makes me wonder who is the next target, How scary.
You are loved here, Please Please stick around.
Big Hugs.
Dont let this bring you down, you have such a huge spirit.
****Was just thinking and worrying I am probably running around with a bullseye on my forehead. . Why all the hate lately? We are here to help one another, or I thought so.

Youre a swet caring woman Carol,youve been nothing but kind and supportive to me since the very first day i came here.Ive never forgotten that!
I have never seen you react as you did yesterday,goes to show how hurt and angry you truly are.You thought you were amongst friends and now feel betrayed.
I truly wish there were someway to work things out.I know you all were once pretty good friends. Is there no hope that can ever be saved?

Carol, I want you to know how sorry I am that you have become the object of ridicule on this board. I have copied the apology I made on Atlas' thread:
"I should have stood up for Carol while she was being attacked last night and feel very bad that I didn't. I do try to stay out of this stuff, I guess I am one that is way, way down on the list of friends...oh, and I am crying now (said facetiously)...
Anyway, I want to take this post to publicly apologize to Carol. I should have had your back."
I still consider you one of my best board friends and want you to know that my email is always open to you for anything that you need. You can trust that what you tell me stays between the two of us.
I love you honey!
