Maybe she should have thought about the reaction she would get before posting the pics quinnox Nov 2013 #49
Well, to be fair, the reaction was WAY disproportionate to her misstep cyberswede Nov 2013 #57
I disagree. A red-hot emotional reaction is exactly what should be expected quinnox Nov 2013 #65
I can't imagine that a rational person could anticipate threats against her family. cyberswede Nov 2013 #73

Nowhere did I say it was "OK" to make these kinds of threats quinnox Nov 2013 #162
But you seemed to be blanketly defending the reactions, regardless of motive or content. nomorenomore08 Nov 2013 #165
