If you click Ciara's "profile" link, you'll see her weblog URL in there.
I agree, they were kinda harsh. Unlike myself. I am always kind and gentle.
I think the problem with Ciara's story was that it seemed so fake. The community is generally pretty caring for members that have it tough. For example, I just had a house fire. If you hop into the "Home Base" section and look at the "Let's Buy Dave A Bunch Of Comedy CDs Project" thread, you'll see what I mean. But I had photographic evidence of my problem
Also, her first post was begging for money. I've been posting here for over a year and a half now and people know me. I'm real, and everyone knows that, whether they like me or not. She hopped on here with a fake name ("Ciara Myst", haha) and immediately attempted to exploit the kindness of the members. A lot of people are offended by that sort of thing.
Anyway, thems just my two cents.
