My goodness... I understand how upsetting it can be for a stranger on the internet to troll you, but come on.

We are a community here on this forum, but there will always be that random person who shows up just to start drama. It is what it is. If you feel you can no longer trust this person then simply do not reply to their posts. Besides, what reason is there to "trust" the posters on an Internet forum?

Yes, there is a real person behind all of our screen names, but I'm sure not everyone here is who they say they are... KWIM?

I'm certainly not defending OP, but there aren't any good reasons to be so upset about what they did.

Agree. I didn't like the trolling, and don't condone it AT ALL, but my.sympathy for her overrides the mild inconvenience she caused me by spending.5 minutes reading her fake post. Maybe she feels isolated or depressed, and before flaming her, I would invite her to communicate with me and offer her some one to talk to. About anything. I don't like trolls, but I do like people.

IP address the same due to all devices in the same house are under the same IP address. I have checked.

For the wow! Just wow comment. As you can see that was my profile, I wrote that.

I was the hostess, making food and beverages for the guests. I was not monitoring them because I thought they were my friends and I could trust them.

As for the writing styles. She was my best friend since middle school. So yes after years of emailing, texting, hanging out and talking. We do have similar styles. So I can see why you would think that.

She never logged into my account. She was posting as unregistered. I now have passwords on all of our devices.

This forum was very important to me. Which is why all day Wednesday I was extremely sad and hurt by all of and the comments made. It was a place were I could talk to other providers and have someone who understands what happens in this business. Since my husband, friends and family do not understand.

I do have a lot of value in my life!

When it was me posting in the kitchen I was laughing! It was funny at the time until the next morning. My husband had a good laugh too!

I think I answered to everyone comments. I appreciate those of you who were semi respectful and nice.

I still stand by my previous comment. If I had done it why did I try so hard to come back? Knowing I would face judgement! Because at that point I was willing to face it because I know the truth. I have moved somewhere else. I don't feel like arguing, trying to get into a clique.

Thank you!

...Just curious, but what do you mean by "trying to get into a clique"? Thankslovethis!

I get what you're saying... Be nice, she's a person with feelings, and all that... But I must say that this was the first and ONLY post I made on this debacle. I had only read the saga minutes before I posted. I didn't beat her up. I said nothing about trust, so I'm not sure what you mean there. (By the way, I don't trust ANYONE online! Caveat Emptor, as they say.) I merely set her straight that I believe NONE of her bs. She needs to know that we don't believe her, or she'll try it again. I'm not going to patronize. One post and then I was out.

:confused: my post was not targeted towards you. It wasn't targeted towards anyone in particular. And I didn't say in any way "be nice, she's a person with feelings". What she did was downright annoying and immature... BUT...

Yeah just the same things I said before. No need to repeat

I am sorry, but I just can't get on board with your story. If you were the hostess, you stopped within minutes of prepping food and drinks to check the boards & post while you had company ?

I think the best route here would be to apologize and move on.

Totally agree! I also do not see a person getting onto Daycare.com during their party to read and then comment multiple times to a post, all the while having a person at the same party get onto another computer- all the while unknowingly to you- multiple times to respond. If it was just one time, maybe (and that's a big maybe). But there was a lengthy conversation going on and would not have happened during a party.
You should have just admitted, apologized, and that would have been the end. Most people will forgive a sincere person, but someone that sticks to a truly unbelievable story? I do hope you go elsewhere to try to find your entertainment. This is a great forum for real problems, celebrations, and conversations- not a place to make a mockery of the business.

I always tell my kids that by lying it will get them no where but in bigger trouble, by telling the truth your punishment will be less but at least it will be the truth.

I missed the whole thing. Maybe that was for the best.

I came upon the other thread after it had already been closed but I spent some time trying to guess who it was. I was wrong. I'd be a terrible spy.

Maybe you did have a party? Maybe you were drinking? Perhaps too much and thought you'd have some fun with us?
Doesn't matter to me. It's all about perspective. Oh yes, except for the fiasco I'm sure Michael et al had to deal with.

Is it Friday yest???

It'll be Friday in exactly 5 hours and 34 minutes... I know this because tomorrow is my birthday. Lol.

Fridays mean nothing to me because I work Friday and every weekend

And since when do guests go to a party, slink off and spend considerable time on the host's computer without the host knowing?

I was one that got a good laugh with it- and I would have been fine for OP of the post to have said: got ya! I also would be ok with someone apologizing- the post itself isn't the big deal (for me) but the no accountability part irks me some...
And of course the extra work for mods and Michael!
