You know, I'm kinda tired of you lumping us all together. Some of us are more bothered by it, yes, but most of us are just sympathizing or trying to help her feel better by letting her vent. Very few of us are trying to start a flame-war, and we don't bear any responsibility for her or your actions. So you're basically dragging all of us into your fight because you're mad that we happen to agree with her that this whole thing sucks. That doesn't seem fair to me.
And I'm sorry if any of my posts here are considered White-knighting. Mostly I just want to clear my own name. I can't really speak for Darien or the others, but I can speak for myself, and speak from long experience of interacting with my own group of friends. They are good people. They get angry just like anyone else, and sometimes they do stupid things as a result of that anger. But they are not the kind of people who ambush someone when she tries to pick up items that rightfully belong to her, or the type of people to encourage a flame-war for the heck of it. And once they calm down, they almost always regret any wrong they might have done, just like any decent person would.
And for the most part, Darien has been involving us in this issue very little. I had no idea this thing had erupted again until tonight, so I haven't had any sort of chance to stop anyone from doing something stupid. Again, not that their actions are anything near being my responsibility, considering I am not their keeper.
Please, keep your assumptions of our characters to yourself unless you have proof that we're intentionally trying to wrong you. The whole "innocent until proven guilty" idea right? :)
