Maybe becouse I answered honestly...
Lol - And you've stressed

No it's true, a lot of people gossip all the time (although I'm as confused as Rose about how you can even gossip about people you know only from a forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" /> - but ok, obviously the virtual border doesn't pose a problem to the professionals <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) -- Gossip is one thing though - Talking about someone "using people" is something else IMO, to me that sounds like quite an accusation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> - If I found out people have been saying something like that about me, I'd be pretty worried too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
So really, I hope things work out - I have much respect for kiya's work here on the forum and I'd hate to see her leave because of bad talking taking place behind the screens <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
