Circe asked me to post this,
it was an email she sent to a few people:


 I'm quite certain that you won't believe me, as it seems that you have already, incorrectly, made up your mind about the issue, but I still felt as if I should at least attempt to clarify a few things.  I have been coming to BA and Tralf now for almost a year, and never once have I seen any one person mention your name, either in a positive reference or a negative one, in Tralf.  I do not know anything about these 'rumors' going around about you, nor do I know who started them.  All I know is that it was never discussed publicly in Tralf.  In fact, it is a rare event that I have ever seen anyone from BA discussed in Tralf, and even rarer that when something is said, it is negative.
    The whole point of Tralf is to escape drama created in BA from all sources, including the fundies, and sometimes the regs as well.  It is the reaction to Tralf from the regs in BA that strikes me as dramatic, not the existence of the room itself.  I mean, really, who cares if a bunch of people leave and go to a private room?  I fail to see how that is drama.  Wouldn't it be more dramatic to stay in BA and fight with the regs and fundies?  Why not just avoid it entirely?
    And while the conspiracy theories of people going into both rooms under different names are humorous, as far as I know, it is entirely untrue.  I have never seen anyone report on things from BA while in Tralf, because the people in Tralf, including Sunshine, really don't care.  Believe it or not, the whole purpose of Tralf is not to undermine BA, or the people who frequent BA.  Honestly, BA is not important enough for anyone to want to spend precious hours of their day undermining.  It is, after all, a chat room.  Tralf is simply a room for people who enjoy one another's company to spend time together, and to avoid the drama created by people's insecurities and low self-esteem issues.
    Like I said, I'm sure that none of this will change your mind, but I did feel as if I had to at least attempt to set the record straight.  So, please, let all of us put an end to the drama, finger-pointing, and name calling, and let's keep things in perspective -- it is only a chat room.
