>Had SB's admonishment to me been civil and constructive, the last few paragraphs would have been enough. But instead I was dealing with two issues:
1) An outright attack - him saying I'm a person who would rather accuse - without any justification - than give the benefit of the doubt, when in fact you and I were among the first to welcome Original Jane and give her the benefit of the doubt right off the bat. SB makes a post against his own guidelines - I gotta call him on it.
And his implication that it's horrible to even question someone's identity on the Internet just makes my head spin. He and I apparently live in different worlds.
2) I did indeed accuse Original Jane of not being Ingrid based on the apparent inconsistency of her statements with Tim's. I needed to apologize to her and everyone here for any pain that I caused, and I know I caused some pain. My accusation came out of the feeling of having been duped when I was so trusting from the beginning, and I felt angry.
And if your DOOOOOOOD is because the person I happened to be addressing is the webmaster here, he's just another poster as far as I'm concerned, and subject to the same guidelines forbidding personal attacks as we all are. If he feels that he is above the guidelines, a problem exists.
