Maggie was treated appallingly. This was before your time on the forum. She was one of the kindest people I have dealt with. I cannot forgive what was done to her by several people. She was a really wonderful person and I spoke to her several times and then had the privilege of viewing her funeral online. It was really moving. I do not want to say more but some people should reflect on their conduct.
You should just say it? If you are referring to myself and Jane, I'm afraid you weren't given the full story - so I will say it here. When the three of us were mods, Maggie found out she was ill, obviously, she couldn't play her part in dealing with forum issues and she was here less and less. She asked Jane if she should take a back seat and Jane said that she thought it might be a good idea so she could concentrate on getting well and I agreed with Jane. Maggie took offence - I guess she was expecting us both to ask her to stay, we were concerned for her health and also needed someone who could back us up when things kicked off and we couldn't expect that of Maggie - she had enough to contend with.
Rumours started flying via PM's (Patti, Susan, Maggie and I believe Graham) about how Jane and I had been horrible to Maggie. Susan at one point had fell out with Maggie and as usual sounded off to me via PM. I said something like 'you can never win against cancer' - meaning that because of her illness, no matter what we said, we would always be seen as the villains - no doubt Susan reported back to Maggie without any explanation of what I meant or the context. That was it in a nutshell. I actually spoke to Maggie many times about this and chatted on the phone. The problem is, things get dragged out of proportion, then the gossip wheel starts turning but I have no regrets for anything I said or did because I know what was said and how it was meant. People can believe what they like and harbour grudges but my conscience is clear as far as this forum is concerned.
