I had actually considered dropping a comment into that thread, but that would have required my joining the Earthwalker team. Based on that thread, I couldn't see myself happy under that leadership (often tossing out ideas and thoughts myself). Besides, I don't own any flame resistant underwear. Anyway, again, there's lots of teams out there, most that I've seen are extremely supportive. Explore the posibilities, and don't dwell on this negativity. It's not a reflection on you. Take care, and best of luck on your journey . . . NEVER GIVE UP !! Rick

Thank you enormously for your opinion! I was seriously hurt when they thought my nice idea was evil. It means a lot to read that you also thought they were mean. I was particularly frustrated by the "have you stopped trying to take over the team?" line of comments. I actually got a reply from the guy involved, who I already knew. No surprise - the story was not as Captain Earthwalker claimed. I'm taking your encouragement to heart and I will keep at it here. Heartfelt best wishes to you, too!

I'm not the guy you were looking for, but out of morbid curiosity, I read the thread. You were indeed "tarred and feathered". And seriously flamed, torched and toasted too. Ouch !! Sounds like finding a different team would be a blessing for you. No-one needs that kind of treatment. Sorry that happened to you. Looks to me like that team leader isn't interested in having things any way but her way. Apparently anything less "will not be tollerated". Nice.
Good luck finding a new team. There's plenty of friendlier ones out there. Rick
PS; Don't let one bad experiance ruin your opinion of Sparks. I can tell you from personal experiance that there are people like that on almost every site.

I'm looking to talk with the guy who had trouble with the Earthwalkers team. I was just tarred and feathered there and I'd like to compare notes so I can feel a little better. Luciana bragged about having chased some guy away for a similar "problem." She's quite authoritarian. Thanks.
