Hi My log on name is WindingRoad. I know many who post here also post on TNT. As my voice and ability to tell "the rest of the story" there has been taken away, I post here. I have used many other names there and have never hidden that when the time was right.
Now for "the rest of the story"

As many of you know I am vocal and to the point many times. I don't stab people in the back, hide out at night to post etc.
When I first started posting on TNT I was a newbie to travel nursing. Not a newbie nurse. I found a thread there that went on and on about coffee shops all over the country. In a effort to find travel info I asked why couldn't those posters take it to an IM session or private e-mail..Not exactly the way for a newbie to get accepted on the play ground.

As I found out what the underlying "rules" or etiquitte was I found that they just had to chat with each other maybe from stress or loneliness of the "road"
As I continued to post I noticed posts were edited or delted. Ones I might be interested in.. I admit I am just plain nosey. When PalpThrill posted her oppossion to censorship I e-mailed her through Delphi to offer my support. I told her that I agreed that posts to me belonged to me and the poster and that if I had a problem with the post I should deal with it and or the poster and not run and "tattle" or complain to the forum. Note I WAS IN AGREEMENT WITH HER. That is a key point here and I am sorry for the caps. Not yelling just wanted to be clear on that point.
The letter I received in response can never be viewed as I deleted it after the second reading.. It was the most vile, vulgar piece of writing I had ever seen. I don't think it would make it past any censors on any TV program or newspaper etc. Palp basically called me a lady of the evening several times and told me to stay away from her on TNT or I would regret it.
I figured "Wow this nurse is really having a bad day" And deleted the letter. Maybe that was one of many of my mistakes. I did ask her right on the forum why she would send me such a nasty letter and she basically blew me off and said it didn't exist.
Yes, I followed her and she pointed out that I needed more psyche meds, was not a good nurse, who would want to work with me etc. She has never met me so all of these ascertaintions are unfounded.

As things progressed I continued to hope her and I could reslove this issue..But I began to see that she didn't want to be upstaged on TNT. And that her sole purpose there to be top dog for lack of a better phrase right now..I am old have brain fa**s often.

Palp would pick apart every post I made no matter how "nice and helpful" it was or controversial.

At one point, in the middle of the night, she and another poster with the handle WillowRN decided to gang up on me big time.. The thread started out nice enough but I didn't see the side swipe coming. It seemed that Palp was trying to redeem herself without actually saying "I'm sorry I was having a bad day/ week life experience at the time." But the thread quickly deterioated into a free for all on me. Palp and WillowRN called my sons retards and stupid and they certainly must be with a mentally unbalanced mother such as me..When I told them I didn't think so that my son is in the USMC and works for the NSA they came back and said he is probably a terrorist. This was post 9/11. Now you may think whatever you want about me. I do see things differently than others do. I look for the different side of things. I analyze issues and situations. That may be a fault of mine. I don't know.

But I was gravely injuried that night. I could not believe what they had done. Maliciously. I don't know how long the thread was and a couple of times others came on and egged them on to continue their treatment of me. I had never seen WillowRN before not since.

In the light of day they reported me to the MODS on TNT and I was banned form posting.Because I had posted too many times. Or some such lame excuse..Again I said nothing.. In hind sight maybe another mistake on my part.

Shortly after that I became another ID on TNT and Palp hunted me down with a great big Texas Ranger sherriff's badge and people gloated that she was the nurse detecive etc. I finally called her on it and told her she just wanted to be top dog there and her flashy siggy proved it..She got rid of the badge.But continued to flame every post I made.Still I remained silent to the mods.

Now for the letter I sent her as BeedyLouise on TNT. I did send it ..And as many have defended Bill RoadTripper's actions there in the SOB incident I had had enough of Palp.
I had kept quiet for 18 months give or take.

I also did e-mail her through Delphi a couple of months ago but she won't post that e-mail
I feel there are two reasons for that. One, it was a condolence to her for her husbands illness and her taking care of him..She had posted earlier in the year as to the state of their relationship and I did think it was very compassionate of her to put aside her differences and show compassion ..I thought maybe I had misjudged her all along and extended the olive branch in a round-about way. She never responded with even the courtesy of a thank you.

The other reason, I believe she won't post the e-mail is that it has a legit e-mail addy. She doesn't want me to tell my side of the story.

Do two wrongs make a right..NO THEY DO NOT. Was I tried of being berated and hurt that someone attack my sons ..You bet I was.. Should I have done that .NO But that can't be changed. (BTW Palp and WillowRN conveniently deleted most of their posts in the thread calling my son's retards )..But ya know a tree falling in the woods still makes a noise whether there is anyone there to hear it.
Now I would appreciate it if NO ONE replys to this post. I want it to drop. But I am posting my legit e-mail here.
For those of you who truely value the truth you may e-mail me good bad or indifferent..

Thanks for listening. Bobette H Turner RN BSN
