I've been interviewed many times, and not once has it been entirely presented as I said it. I've had my words twisted and taken out of context so many times that I'm very wary of doing interviews now, and I await nervously for each result.
I heard from Robin, and indeed, her words had been horribly twisted. She's hurt by these attacks as anyone would be, especially since what she said, and how it was said in the interview, are two very different things.
She has always been, and continues to be, a champion for romance.
And just to be clear, I had never met her and now I've only emailed with her twice. I respect her, but she's not a close friend I feel compelled to defend. She's a person, and I hate seeing anyone unfairly persecuted.
But the thing is, I'm 43. In maturing I learned a few things along the way - like not to jump the gun, not to believe everything I read, not to join in on negativity before I had all the facts... and to give people the benefit of the doubt because most of them are just like me - a nice person who is trying to do the best she can.
I'm so glad I did some further investigating. It was more time consuming than joining the crowd, but the right thing isn't always the easiest to do.
Before Laurie posted that thread, it would have been nice and certainly it would have been professional if she'd touched base with Robin too. ::shrug::: Might not caused so much hoopla though...
