Good Morning to all the group:

I would like to apologize to the group as a whole, and to take responsibility for a post that was made that offended and caused discomfort to members of the group.

There was a post that was made by Morningglory in the Long Sad Story thread, and I will have to admit that it was made with my encouragement, the author of the post I felt was playing a game of one up manship in regards to the suffering of the bipolar relationships, and rather than making my own displeasure known, I let Gloria make hers, it was totally irresponsible on my part to allow this to happen as a leader in the group and as a fellow sufferer of the illness of bipolar.

For this I apologize, it should never have happened. Gloria, you have been doing such a wonderful job in offering encouragement and your experiences here on the group, I should have never encouraged the post that caused offense, I am sorry if any have felt that they should not post, as this is not what this group is all about, we are suppose to be here to help each other, and to offer what support we can.

Again I offer my apology to those that were offended, and felt any discomfort.

Thank you for listening to me, I am truly ashamed of my behavior.

I hesitated to respond to this because it really does not call for one...but, I can't help myself....Carmen, you are a wonderful asset to this forum...and I so much appreciate the honesty in which you present your responses....same for Gloria. I just love you guys...and I hope the people who were offended would be able to see the person behind the writing and the true intention of what is being said. I do.

Glory darling, thanks for your vote of confidence, I love you so, but please understand that no one has blamed me, it was brought to my attention that there had been some disquiet about the post, and the simple truth of the matter is that I encouraged you to post on the thread, I will not stand by and let you take the blame for something I started.. period, now enough of this ok? lol, I will have to spank.

To end anymore chaos that might be brought about by this post, I have locked it, so that no other replies can be made, I hope you all will understand.
