Now I need a Z.

Rumell, constantly posting here to show off how much you are nearing your goal is of no value when you cheat.

Woah! Calling someone out as cheater seems like a bit much... not only is there proof that should be involved when accusations are thrown around; but there’s no “award�� so I’m not sure that it would be important if someone did cheat. They only hurt themselves.
Am I missing something? Or do I just need to leave this group because this is how members are treated...

I'm sorry that was a bit unprofessional. I apologize for that. It's early, and I haven't slept in days, but that's no excuse. And most importantly, not the right choice of words. I was, however, irritated that Rumell continued to post comments here saying, "Now all I need is this letter or that letter", when I can clearly see that he hasn't in fact, read all those books he claims he has. I probably speak for myself, but with an already low self-esteem, it doesn't really help when someone continues to push something like that in my face. Besides, it goes a long way back.

If you're concerned whether that's how I treat my members, no - just this particular member, because I have had to previously block him temporarily to get him to start abiding by group rules. So if you don't feel safe here, I won't force you to stay or try to change your mind, and if you want to stay, I can assure you that this is not how I treat my members; just this one.

Thanks so much for the clarification and response Hailie. It’s appreciated. I get when people are just chronically being frustrating but I had to check because it’s hard to know sometimes and your post struck me pretty hard.
I hope you have a much better day today my dear! 😊

Thanks for calling out on me, though. I could have handled it more diplomatically, and hence, I apologize.

Thank you! :) I hope you have a great day as well!
