I thought it extreme that "the group could fold if this keeps up" -- If you have a private group then keep it that way and don't allow people to drop in. If you are an open group, and a newbie talks a lot, try to find some common ground. If she has been everywhere and done everything you may be able to relate somehow.

QUOTE=Steady Stiching;6294468]"The group could fold if this continues" I'm sorry but your group sounds extremely judgmental and not the type of group I would want to be a part of. The intolerance is pretty astounding after just one very nervous first meeting for your new "friend" I'm surprised ya didn't all stone her while you were busy talking behind her back.
