Chevyjewel has people getting pretty worked up with her thread.
I really don't think she means to, but she sure has a knack for offending people. (Myself included!)

Hopefully it won't be an issue, but just as a heads-up.
I think Chevy is being particularly dense on this thread though. I don't know how many people have to correct her on something before she gets it? Huh.
Lynda - hope your mom is better asap!

Right - cuz with the 10k FLDS - you're far more likely to deal with them than you would with the 213M regular ole normal LDS.
Jez
The problem is the the 2113M regular ole normal LDS look like everyone else. (Although the young men doing mission work in twos do stand out!) Neither Vegans nor Mormons have the name branded on their foreheads! Sigh...
Can't you just give her a time out or something lol. I'm LDS not FLDS - big difference duh.
I really get annoyed with statements like hers sometimes.
Well, you can say one thing for her, she is not wishy-washy or easily swayed! :)

ugh...I did try.
Her and Boulder got into it a bit, but it seems to be done with. IF however, it starts off track again, please just close it.
She pm'd saying she didn't understand why she was getting so much flak and was frustrated that she wasn't being heard.
I told her that her actual intent and question of the thread is lost because she used a poor example that people can't see beyond in order to discuss.
She pm'd back saying she was just going to ignore the religious aspect of the discussion from this point on. So I think that's what she means by being done with that. She really does want to focus on her true question.
Whether or not people will do that, I don't know. So glad tomorrow is a holiday and this will hopefully die out.

Chevy is going to get herself banned if she doesn't stop. I've helped her a lot this week and I know Lynda has helped her several times recently too. We did mediate on her thread, etc. and she had the ever loving gall to post how much we suck.
I've posted to her openly since she called us out openly. She can take a hike because I'm done being nice. Gaw!
I learned a long time ago, some people are unteachable! (Mostly because they think they have nothing to learn!)
Umm this frm Chevy made me laugh!
I personally though, could never judge or label others one thing or the other.
Well, for what it's worth, everyone - including Chevy - seem to be playing nice right now.
Sigh. What has happened to the people on the FP support forum lately? We used to be a very respectful bunch, but lately they just argue. Sigh again.

I sent her a long pm. Addressed the calling out of mod actions etc. I need to make a user note because anytime we have to devote this much time to a member, it's "excessive moderation" and we shouldn't have to.
Thanks Crick. I'm sorry I haven't been much 'with it' lately, but with everything going on with my mom, well you know.
To add to everything, my nephew sustained 3rd degree burns fighting a fire. He will be ok, the burns weren't too extensive - right foot. In addition a good friend fell and broke her shoulder and has had to have 2 surgeries.
