Bergamot seems to have the same aromatic essences as cilanto, to some extent, though I know they are not related. I just ask because the smell/taste of cilantro and bergamot are two of my favorites. -L. |

Let it go.
It no longer matters what the story is, there's been enough bad blood, dissapointment and hurt feelings here recently. If someone by whatever name they care to post under wants to talk about their kitties, then thats what the group is here for. We are not a witch hunting party (apologies to the Wiccans out there) and we aren't a crack investigation team. Welcome the stories about kitties, and leave it at that. Any mistrust or hard feelings can be done in private. Yowie |

Of course, that is understood, that *is* what the group is for but what it is not here for is for the very genuine and kind-hearted people that post here to be taken advantage of. We are not a witch hunting party (apologies to the Wiccans out there) and we aren't a crack investigation team. I don't think we've witch-hunted and we may not be the best detectives in the world, but I think (and it's only my personal opinion, mind, after looking at each and every post) that there is/was something very wrong here. Welcome the stories about kitties, and leave it at that. Any mistrust or hard feelings can be done in private. Stories about kitties I love. Any mistrust or hard feelings are appropriate to be expressed here, as it all happened here after all. You may have to go along with a few more posts about this as we all gradually, at our own pace, get over it. I didn't want it to be all a fake either, but I'm fairly sure it is. And yes, it's sad. While any of us feel sad about it, it's nice to share that between us. Tweed |

I've bought cilantro, and it's a parsley-looking green leafy thing. And then I have a bottle of coriander; it's a bunch of round pellet-looking things, I think. *confused* I do love both cilantro (the leafy type) and earl grey. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Of course, that is understood, that *is* what the group is for but what it is not here for is for the very genuine and kind-hearted people that post here to be taken advantage of. Very true. We are not a witch hunting party (apologies to the Wiccans out there) and we aren't a crack investigation team. I don't think we've witch-hunted and we may not be the best detectives in the world, but I think (and it's only my personal opinion, mind, after looking at each and every post) that there is/was something very wrong here.

While any of us feel sad about it, it's nice to share that between us. Also true, but I guess I'm willing to give a person the benefit of the doubt. If "one&only" is who she says she is, the we have no right to jump all over her. If she is who we suspect she is, it will become obvious soon enough and getting angry with her and threatening her isn't helping anyone - neither her nor us. And even if "one&only" does turn out to be the person who was originally posting as Holly, her cat anecdotes are not off topic here and it may help her to know that we can and do like reading her kitty stories (there is no rule to say they have to be true). I can understand feeling sad, upset, dissapointed and taken for a ride. I did too. But the anger that seems to be coming out now is so out of character for this group. The discord and hostility I now see is upsetting me far more than the original deception, which, if I understand MBI, was not done out of any malice or ill intention but rather part of a disease. Its like getting mad at someone for swearing when they have Tourette's. It doesn't help the person with the illness and blinds us to the fact that the person is just as much a victim of their disease as we are. We didn't get mad and threaten the person who typed in all-caps when we found out she had a vision impairment, instead we tried to help by typing in all-caps as well when replying to her. I'm wondering why we can't find it in our hearts to be understanding of "Holly" as well. Yowie |
