Well, I have to toss my hat in here. I really resent the fact that Gina referred to this thread as being mean-spirited. I will say what everyone else has been saying.....this isnt the first time that this has happened with this person. There have been many incidents. It isnt the case of one or two or even five people having a problem with WW. Many people have had problems with her. They have tried unsuccessfuly to resolve the problem in private. What else are people supposed to do? The people who were coming forward were doing so to protect their fellow BX. I commend weeblet for coming out and putting out that post. And when I read it yesterday, there were NO personal attacks on WW. Whom I happen to know from personal experience is a very nice and friendly person. For those of you who are saying "poor WW"....what about "poor BX" who unknowingly sends any known book-hoarder a book as a ring/ray/rabck? Keeping so many books...especially rings/rays, which I think is the true crime, is very selfish and affects a lot of other BX. Another point that is starting to get on my nerves....is when BC people complain about the fact that BC started out as just wild releasing. "It isnt about rings/rays/trading/rabcks, etc." Well...I say that BC is about sharing books and creating a community. And NO community that lasts stays static. BC has evolved which proves that it is healthy and that is the reason why it is thriving. Alright......**backs away from the soap box**.......that is all I have to say about it. Nichole wizardsheart

He/she does not strike me as someone who is trying to get away with something sneaky, but someone who got carried away with BXing and now feels terrible and humiliated to be flogged in public. He/she appears to be very interested in making amends to everyone involved. *sigh* I don't know why, but I find Bookcrossers to be so mean-spirited at times and yet so generous and caring at other times. /gina [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
