First of all I can't understand why people come to LP to pretty much *only* post in WE. If you want political debate (even though they can't debate but are stuck in a bizarre mode of "thinking"), go to a freakin' political board, not a Disney one! Hel*LO!* Second of all, Mrs2oon of all people doesn't deserve any sort of backlash against her. That such a decent, polite woman from a terrific family has had to deal with such filth is just *so* wrong. I agree about LP. I used to love The Golden Age of it, and I still do have fun here, but mods, do your job unbiased. Don't ban fun, silly IDs that post now and then for a joke and then let cruel, baiting, tricky trolls run rampant on the boards. That is so messed up. We're all behind ya, RM!

Its unfortunate that you just can't seem to ever find a place where people get along 100% of the time. As fort he 200ny nominclature many of us would be very broke if we even attempted to compete in drawing cartoons with your other half. Now if you want to upset that other poster you could change your name again to readingmummy

Originally Posted By sherrytodd Ursula that is a GREAT idea. I think from now on it should be everyone's goal to get inflamatory WE threads sent to pin collecting! (or at least play pen)

If I see that kind of behavior anywhere on these boards (and I still read, thoug you can count me a victim of the WE insanity) I will report it to the moderators.

But, I think its unfortunate that you feel compelled to change your name to avoid other undesirable LPers. I just hope that LP has not gotten to the point where those of us who participate here by posting feel unwelcome. You will always be welcome here ReadingMom.

Originally Posted By ReadingMom Wow. I didn't expect to start a rebellion! Thank you guys for all of the kind words. The only way I can really describe why I changed my name is that I felt like I was being made fun of. Between the WE section this morning and the "How much do you weigh" thread later I felt like my "safe and happy" escape from day to day life was no longer my "safe and happy" escape. By changing my name to ReadingMom maybe I would be taken more seriously. The past six or seven months have been the most challenging in my life and I really do need something like LP to turn to for some happy entertainment and comic relief.

You're a lucky lady to have good kids and such a funny husband! ReadingMom TOCKS!

Originally Posted By ReadingMom Thanks Labuda. I think my family tocks also! As I sit waiting to leave for a meeting I can hear my daughter and husband doing the dishes in the kitchen. Actually, that's why I'm sitting here right now. The longer I sit...the more dishes get done.....LOL
Originally Posted By LilliBelle RM, I am so angry that you have been treated so badly here on LP. I agree with Pixie, Lisann, Ursula and everyone else on this thread that has voiced their support for you and your wonderful family. I have always loved the 2oon moniker you shared with your husband and your children. I'm sorry, this is just SO infuriating! {{{ReadingMom}}}
Originally Posted By debtee Yes I too fell very upset that you have felt so Bad as to change your name to RM. This is supposed to be a Happy place to come to!

I don't care how far away I live, I swim really well!
