I'm just getting back to this board after being gone for several years due to work. Now I'm retired and always knew this is where I would return because of the positive, supportive members. On a few other boards there were members that just plain weren't very nice. Makes me wonder what was going on in their lives that make them take their problems out on other people through snarky comments. Or, do they feel insecure in some way and quilting is where they feel they are the authority [banging fist on the table]? It's kind of sad, really.
