Over in this thread, [My 15 Year-Old Daughter Just Told Me She’s BiSexual -HELP!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849137), I was somehow caught up in the mod note regarding **Euphrosyne** (and presumably Catholic bashing). [Specifically this post here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20787021&postcount=113). My post was not directed at either as can be noted by my addressing the OP in my post. Not a biggie as it was just a note, but I wanted to set the record straight. ---

Ok- I thought it was but if it’s not, thanks for clarifying. ---

This upset me too. Your post implying that **Colette8** was trolling clearly deserved its own separate mod note, and neither mine nor **running coach’s** was mentioned at all. **ITD** , I think you owe us all an apology. ---

Ha ha. Yeah, it’s not like I didn’t see that coming. But you know, I decided to stay away from that thread rather than defending my stance. I don’t think her daughter has done a damn thing wrong and I don’t see the need for the OP’s histrionics. ---

Well, it isn’t really your job to police the OP on her own emotional state and reactions, is it? She said she came from Texas and lived in a bit of a bubble, which would be quite a change to California and having her daughter being in a completely different bubble. Let her have her own reactions. She responded very well to the support she was given. ---

Police? How the hell was I policing her? First, it’s a public message board, if she didn’t want opinions she shouldn’t have taken her issue public. Second, I lived in Texas until I was 35. So I’m quite familiar with the mindset. My daughter (now 35 herself) lives in Texas. She was originally married to a man. That fell apart. She now lives with and is planning to marry a woman. Doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference to me. I’m very happy that she’s happy. Take your own advice and allow me my own reaction. ---

You were wrong. Whether or not you intended it, you wrote the words that got noted. Perhaps being a tad more careful would be a better approach than arguing with those who disagree with you in this. ---

No you are wrong. I was noted for discussing Euphrosyne, which I did not do. Read the links. ---

Perhaps being a tad more careful would be a better approach than arguing with those who disagree with you in this. As ITD already said, she misread **Lucas Jackson’s** post. And her note was to head off a hijack in any case. If you haven’t even read this thread, perhaps you shouldn’t comment on it. :dubious: ---

If you’re intent on arguing, (I don’t see anyone else arguing) go ahead and start without me. I’ll be back when I get a minute. ---

Actually, your only reason to be in this thread seems to be to snark on another poster, and not even justifiably. Unfortunately you have a propensity to do this in ATMB. I would strongly suggest you refrain from this behavior in the future. It’s rather jerkish. ---

Thanks **Colibri**. My purpose in this thread was to note that I was not part of that hijack. ITD already conceded that. For me the matter is closed - no harm no foul. As far as I’m concerned since this thread has achieved its purpose, it can be closed if you wish. ---
