The newsgroup is not 'better', having had to be depleted due to the
actions of the few who seemed to take a joy in personal defamation and an
aggressive stance against anyone who questioned their gardening advice.

As one of the people accused (wrongly) by Sacha, and having been abused by
her several times during the past ten or so years, I am relieved that she
has gone, (or that she says she has gone). She accused me of something I
was not guilty of and I cannot forgive her for that. Were she to
apologise, I would gladly do so but that is highly unlikely.


As an 'owner' and as someone 'who taught Adam', it seemed she was entitled
to say what she liked about who she liked and didn't expect any challenge. I
am still waiting for her to explain why she called me a liar. Not that I
will get one now as I will not be granted entry into the inner sanctum of
uk.rec.gardening.moderated.


There are those of us who have been quiet throughout the past few months
over events leading up to this (rightly or wrongly!) but that doesn't mean
to say that we see the departure of keen gardeners as anything but
regrettable.

May I take it by your use of the word 'coven' that you are assuming that
the participants were women and that men would never defend themselves
against personal attack?


I believe that, in the world of witchcraft, 'covens' include men.
