I am so happy that you took Emma in and did what you had to do.
Be thankful for us that support you. No need for this stuff.

Wow... you guys sure are taking that ONE comment VERY personally....

The term "ignorant" is NOT a "slam" or an ill intentioned "name call"....

Main Entry: ig·no·rant
Function: adjective
Pronunciation: 'ig-n(&-)r&nt
1 a : destitute of knowledge or education <an ignorant society> ; also : lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified <parents ignorant of modern mathematics> b : resulting from or showing lack of knowledge or intelligence <ignorant errors>
2 : UNAWARE , UNINFORMED


Additionally, I made NO PERSONAL REFERENCE whatsoever as to that comment being directed at ANYONE...................... (but had I anyone in mind at the time of the writing, it would most certainly have been the people on craigslist who made such cruel and hurtful comments)

Regardless.... the statement applies to ANY situation... not just Emma's....

Nasty comments and the spewing of hurtful words in general, which serve absolutely no purpose - - stem from an ignorance of WHATEVER it is they may be referencing..... Talk like that does not come from a well informed opinion....

Regardless.... I believe Diane was commenting on the negativity that I have received through OTHER sources (not that there wasn't a time when there was plenty of it right here, but that's besides the point).... so I'm not sure why those of you who have taken offense to my words, feel as though you've been personally attacked.... certainly no reason for that.

Now let's end this - chalk it up to "misunderstanding" and move on before the topic gets "ugly" when there really is no call for it....
