[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would publicly request that admin shut it down.  If she refuses and people are ok with that I would post a message shaming the adults engaging in this behavior and leave the group.[/quote]

Agreed. [/quote]

Another +1. Publicly, OP. If you privately contacted the admin the first time, this time I'd do it as a post that ALL can see: "Administrator--Please shut down this thread. It has become extremely personal and everyone can identify the family involved."

Then if it doesn't disappear, come back only once and post that the forum that once was about exercise and kids has become cruel, ugly and personal and you won't be posting again.

I was very glad to read that you are leaving the listserv AND the exercise group because these are people whom you don't need in your life, and who would turn you, or each other, into the subjects of gossip for sport.

OP, when you said in your post that "this is really childish, stupid and pathetic but I don't know how to proceed" -- the "childish, stupid, pathetic" behavior is ENTIRELY on the part of these people posting. I read your post here as you fearing you seemed pathetic for not knowing how to respond. No. You're in the right and they are pathetic.

You say the woman being discussed is a "personal close friend" so I would absolutely ask her how she is, do things with her to distract her, be extra supportive, etc. I would not tell her that she was the topic of this listserv gossip since she is not even on there and she doesn't need any more drama to worry her.[/quote]
