They were incorrect. period. Ive had several folks email me privately to
offer advice, "defend" me, commisserate with me because they are in similar
situations, but I have never, NEVER asked anyone for "back up" or to come to
my defense. I've been told more than once ( in real life).. that I have
"balls of steel" For a lady, thats quite a statement .. But the truth is, I
say what I mean and I can stand up for myself. If others agree.. fine and
well, and I appreciate thier support.. But I dont seek them out or rally them
to my defense. Ive been accused of this before and its simply not true. The
fact that ther are others of like mind does not mean that I summonsed them up
to gang up on you. They come forward of thier own accord. And, I would say
there are far far more of them that dont actually come forward out of
intimidation and fear of recourse.

I'm sure we could say the same about Sandra.

And the same could be said of me. I value the help that Sandra has given me
over the last while.

If they are that afraid of this list, why are they here?
