Actually, I have heard from Bill. He is unsubscribed from the GML with no
intention of ever returning. He gave me permission to clear up why he left
including quotations from the message he sent me, so here are clips from his
message:
<<I did not signoff because Kristen is unbearable. She's pretty testing of
one's patience but I've been around worse. If anything re Kristen, I
couldn't continue to see how she suckers you all (and me). Most
important, I think that GML people made her that way.
Kristen personally is the tip of an iceberg. I believe there is a lot of
private email subterfuge in the gerbil world. Not casual email and
comparing opinions among friends but some things more insidious. That
kind of thing disgusts me. I suspect how some of it started, and I see
more than coincidence that Kristen accused me of being "rude" after some
smarter young women accused me of the same thing. I am not rude. I will
not accept their judging and insulting me.. They can have GML so far as I
care.
I think Kristen has been led and encouraged into her despicable behavior.
I suspect that some of that was from GML persons who had no recognition of
what they were doing as they got their jollies.. So those who cheered her
on are more despicable than she, and also can count dead gerbils on their
consciences. They also should have acted with peer pressure when Kristen
began spinning out if control. Age and hormones have nothing to do with
it IMHO.>>
