Kari, so VERY WELL SAID.  I use to love the TC community.  Even though people had their problems they NEVER took it home.  You don't RUIN people's lives because you feel you were wronged.  What about the people they are hurting that have nothing to do with the situation (wives, kids etc).  I mean WTF ?

The community IS tight.  This will NOT go away.  The only problem is that it will hurt the good PROFESSIONAL and honest providers that could give a rat's ass about a hobbyist's personal life and offer a good service.  You can still be safe without getting all up in their personal business.

I am glad that I have many friends and regulars there.  Some of them were affected by this fiasco.  It's sad that all the GOOD hobbyist (the gentlemen, nonpsycho and paying ones) are being chased underground.

It has happened is 3 major cities alone this week and last.  Have we all gone friggin MAD ?  WTF.  Discretion people...discretion.  
When did this become US against THEM ?  Has everyone forgotten that this is suppose to be fun ?  

To all the gents that have had their lives turned upside down this week, please know that some of us do take this seriously and know that discretion is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
