"Merry Christmas" to you all.

Love Janice

Well...... all I can say is Merry Christmas to you and all the minti admin and of course your families! All the very best for 2009 and here's hoping it's a happy and successful one for all. As for all the other stuff..... pffft to that. Life's to short to be to bothered with this kinda stuff really.

 I happen to know for a fact that the rumors are indeed true! Yes, and furthermore i have video proof that Minti administrators sneak into my bedroom at night and implant thoughts in my brain. 

ps

They also like to eat all the chocolate in my apartment too. Petty thieves....

I do get why you wrte this but the fact still remains that zzzzzz  was kicked off for something that was said in a private email. its not zzzzz  fault that the email ended up in the wrong hands yet she was punished for it. zzzzzz knows who the member was that was sent the email becuase the new member wrongly thought that the member in question was minti admin. The fact that this member shared the email is wrong.

I think its sad that she was kicked off, she was a great member and she was there for many many members, she offered support and guidance to many whom needed it and it you had a problem she would always listen even when she couldnt help. minti could use more members like her. yes she reffered to admin in her email because she said that admin can't do anything about the content in private groups and what is said in them and its sad that she was kicked off for what was said in one email and without knowing the full story admin were quick to assume she was doing wrong.

anyway its all mute now because she doesnt want to come back to minti. she has her own site which is going extremely well and whilst she doesn't regret her time here and all the great friends she has made she does regret the way certain issues on this site were handled. and as she used to say SMILE its a new day

I think you guys are awesome.  I do think that you handle these types of things extremely well and with dignity and I trust you guys to do the best for this community.  As you say people are often too angry to think straight when they are removed from the site and they are understandably upset.  I do just ignore most of this stuff though.

Again Admin I think that you are really great and that this is a really good website for the parent community!!

wow, how clueless am i? i never thought things like this happen on this site?? Any way I like to say a JOB WELL DONE,to all of the minti admin ppl. I guess it is not as easy as people think running a site like this, as well as keeping everyone happy/ and in order... i have to say this site is great for mums/dads to be able to have a chat pretty much about everything, which is real nice. p.s keep up the gd work and have a merry xmas as I will. :) luv abs

sad you had to write it, even sadder that members could be so misled by a "friend" and to believe it.  it is a shame. she was a pied piper and unfortunately, some enjoyed the tune she played too much and couldn't or wouldn't see the truth.

I never thought you did, but thanks for clearing it up...lol!

Thankyou!

Really unfair that it has to be said in the first place.  I think this should also be posted in the Bulletin Board group too for maximum coverage.

You know we appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes, it helps us to keep some of our sanity after all.

thanks for clearing that up silly really .

Have a good xmas

i never believed it, i thought it was a stupid accusation but i think it was created to get ppl to mistrust minti so they would join a new site seeing as though theyve been inviting ppl to the site thru mintimail with that accusation in it.

hope it all goes away minti is a great place

Thanks for clearing the air about this issue.

And thank you all for running this wonderful site!!!

Happy NEARLY Christmas Matthew... I hate reading it, because you shouldn't be in a position where you feel you have to write it.  That being said, it is great that you have cleared it up and quite frankly, it is your site, I wouldn't care if you guys did read our minti mail, run it however you like.

The person sending out that propoganda should be ashamed of herself for perpetuating the myth and stop biting the hand that feeds them... Or in this case provides them with an outlet online for sharing, helping and making friends with others. 

The saddest part is you having to write it at all Mathew, or that any member would even believe an accusation like that.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Kinda pathetic that you had to write this really. I don't even have time to read all my own mail! Forget the inclination, how on earth can anyone realistically think any member of Admin could have time to do that sort of thing? Oh yeah, that's right, you're not expected to have a life are you! Gees!

I tried to get said member to seriously consider the concept that the mail had been forwarded to Admin when teh story first started, but she couldn't accept that someone might do that. Silly really.

Sad to hear that people are still copping BS over it all. Hope it all goes away soon... but then, it's human nature to want to blame everyone else and conspiracy theories are always rampant the world over because if it, so I'm not going to hold my breath, just curious as to what the next one will be.

Thanks for putting this right and for all the work you do for this site

I really look forward to the day when Minti gets back to how it was when I first joined, full of frienship, good advice, positive blogs and positive vibes

I want to thank you for this. I was under the idea that you would randomly check email and after being told by that member that hers was read and it wasnt that person forwarding (which is what I thought).

I have to agree that all this negitivity of late is so annoying, But I am glad most of it has stopped. Hopefully in time and once it has had time to settle Minti will once again be a very happy and positive place.

What a ridiculous accusation! Who on earth would be stupid enough to believe you guys would even have time to read everyone's private mail, never mind whether you would have the inclination?! And really, I'm sure most people's private correspondance would be pretty boring to anyone outside their own private circle. Who would waste their time wading through hundreds or thousands of private messages? It totally defies any kind of logic.

I'm sure most people feel as I do, that you guys do a terrific job and have set up a truly wonderful website, and that you run it with integrity and for the benefit of us all.

Not nice to write...  Not much fun to read either...  I'm kind of sick of all the negativity around at the moment and how it is affecting lovely people - like yourselves.  I do my best to avoid it, but it is obviously still going on and that is annoying for every body.  Thanks for reassuring everybody, I hope it settles down soon...
