Not only that, but the mysteriousness of starting a thread that says "some people's comments" were offensive and forced her to leave is really only inflammatory. Of course people are going to feel defensive because, as Rickypt said, we've all participated in threads on chit chat at one time or another, and some of us much more than others. I don't know if Deanna was trying to be inflammatory, or if she just wasn't really considering the reaction her audience would have after reading her statements and accusations. If it's the latter, then it could have been handled differently and more tactfully. If it's the former, then I'd say she succeeded.
