[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't the same but I recently experienced something similar. I'm part of a group of women that get together for outings, book clubs, parties, lunches, etc. We are, by all accounts, a "normal" group of women, but one of them physically attacked another one at a party. It was bananas and shocking and there was a moment of reflection afterwards of how do we handle this?

As the weeks pressed on, it became obvious that you just can't "side" with someone who uses physical violence. So she was eventually ousted, both metaphorically and literally, from the group, who communicate through a private chat. She's persona non grata. At the end of the day, I can't look myself in the mirror if I go out to lunch and make nice with someone who put their hands on someone's neck and slammed their head into a table. YMMV. [/quote]

Jeez and I thought my book club during grad school was rowdy. Out of curiosity what was the argument over??[/quote]

It's truly bizarre. It was about a (I swear, not a troll, this is the issue) a daycare business.[/quote]

NP. About a business one of them owned? Or about their daycare choice for their kids? That’s unreal. She could have killed the victim wtf[/quote]

Yup. Owned by one, attended by many in the group but not the victim. She absolutely could have done permanent damage, and to be honest, coming back to OP, I just could never in a million years fake a friendship or really be civil at a party, lunch, outing, whatever with someone capable of that. I just can't. So OP, really think of what's alleged to have happened (or you said you absolutely believe it, so what you know to be true). Can you stomach it?[/quote]
