Thanx to joysjane for your thoughts. Mine are pretty much the same.
I totally understand the reasons for wanting your hug block back I do. But this whole thing could have been handle differently, nicer.
I've been on this group on/off since it's conception and never knew all these rules. I also recently joined the hug group so I could actually start to participate. Because before I would only join if someone actually asked me directly. I want to be a part of this group. We all know how much this group can lift us up and help others in need. Not just when it's quilting related. But all this stuff has me rethinking that the hug group is just not worth it.
What if I didn't know one of those rules and broke one of them, then I'll have a lot of people mad at me?? No thanx. I come to this group for guidance and support. Not to be slapped when I'm down. And in the light of the hurricane with thousands who have lost everything it seems foolish to be bickering about a block. I'm sorry if I offend anyone but if it were my block and she gave it to someone so they could blow their nose I would have been happy!
My two cents and I know it doesn't count for much but I had to say something. Both ladies were right in a way but it could have been handled much much better. Thanx for at least reading this far. Joanna
