What is wrong with so many of you fans that feel a need to post personal attacks at people you don't even know online, let alone in person. And the sheer volume of the people who do so who are just nasty beyond belief is discombobulating to say the very least. aevera made two posts in the thread below and if you can fault either of them I'd be interested to hear how. She did not post the initial image that Robin has deleted without giving us a clue who it may've been, which I can only hope may've prevented this post of yours. I don't care how old or young any poster is, but for all of those who stoop to personal attacks or unsubstantiated claims or just outright abuse need to take a step back and get back in touch with the fact that you're all human beings. I won't say grow up, or that you're pathetic or immature, but I do think a great many of you (who come from mostly the one place) would be well served to keep in mind that as anonymous as the internet may be, every one of us sitting here at the computer screen are real people, in real lives and none of us, not you, not me, not ABomb, not Kellie, nor anyone else deserve to be hurt by anything typed at any of us or the people we care about, on a public message board. If anyone really had done anything wrong and needed to be dealt with, private contact such as email was designed for that. It should not be pleasing to see other people get hurt, or to disrupt the fans at a board just trying to support the gymnasts from our country in the sport we all love.
