Anytime you have a group this size, there are bound to be issues with some. I personally haven't seen anybody being mean to anybody, but there are a lot of posts I don't see just because I run out of time and we can't all look at all the posts. I'm on here way too much anyway. I need to be in my sewing room but have become addicted to this board. The people I have met and done swaps with and things like that are absolutely fabulous. I love it here and won't be leaving, that's for sure.
