I just wanted to let you know that the increase in traffic isn't coming from RR, because it's not linked from there.

I've occasionally read something on Ravelry I thought was a little rude, but nothing like what you're describing. I only belong to a few groups, and there hasn't been much in the way of drama. It's really sad that something that such potential to draw people together ended up, in your case, at least, driving them apart.Yarnhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625926254864861603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31281741.post-16234602736508472952009-03-15T17:56:00.000-07:002009-03-15T17:56:00.000-07:00Wow!

But the more involved I became, the more something felt wrong about it. That Favorite Curse Word thing was my first clue as well. The open forums was nothing more than an invitation for trouble. And trouble it has caused. It seems the entire site has devolved into nothing more than a mean girls bashing party.
