Non Basis parents, I have to agree given the past few awful threads that you dodged a bullet

Not to burst your bubble, but we all know it's you-no one goes on DCUM and tells them about what someone else's kids are saying about another person etc etc.. Better to take your own advice and stay off DCUM, for the school's students' parents' as well as your own sake, and if it is true about what these awful girls are saying, your daughter's sake also. It will make you so much happier!
actually this was intended as a shout out to the mums: please don't tell your girls you hate my friend, so that they will not go into school saying this to her daughter. It upsets both of them, and there is never any reason offered. FYI she did not shut down the list serve, according to the moderator, so for that you have to go hate on someone else, and I am not her, and neither is my friend.
SHE is not on here too busy meeting with administrators, but individually, not at coffee hours
At this point it'd be pretty damn hard for any casual observer to believe the listserve wasn't shut down because of a handful of toxic posters.
And meanwhile, if the lady that started all of this has been meeting with administrators then surely there's no need to be posting all the incorrect information and assumptions here, nor to be posting all the questions which should be asked the school staff rather than taking it up with random strangers on DCUM.
"the lady that started all of this" has been meeting with multiple administrators. (Depending on what "all of this is," of course, which remains entirely unclear.) She does not post on DCUM. She did post about her facebook page with titles that made it easy for all of you not to open. She has been informed by the moderator of the list serve that she was not responsible for its shut down (that it had been considered since last summer, and the moderator was given all of ten minutes notice).
All of this notwithstanding, her daughter and now her son have been told by friends "my mom hates your mom." That is why people do not go to private school. All of you mums should be above that. Shame on you, and more shame on you that you have children who are the same vulnerable age heaping this upon their children and their mum, who had nothing to do with shutting down the list serve, and does not post here.
If she read this, she would be devastated. For all I know she has, and that is why she has stopped communicating with me. Thank you all for identifying one woman as the cause of all your ills, and then vilifying her to your children. We might as well be in private school.
You are all cowards. You have her email address. If you have an issue with her, take it up with [/b]her[b] not by sending messages through your children to her children. Not to mention that the messages are incomprehensible but extremely damaging for a 13 year old girl: "my mom hates your mom." Are you all ever going to rise above this, or is your intent, based upon an attempt to start a facebook page by the mother, to run the children out of the school. Seriously?
If you go to church on Sunday, you owe your God and this woman a serious apology. Start through your children: My mum no longer hates your mum. That might go a bit of a way to undoing the damage you have inflicted based either on the posts to which she signed her name (which I cannot alone credit), or your false assumptions about who she is on DCUM. She does not post here. She says it is "too much drama" and I believe her. I think you all should go back to Salem or reconsider your positions, and have your children apologise to hers. This is really too much for them to bear over relatively innocuous posts on a list serve to which she signed her name.
If it is really your desire to see her depart from the BASIS community, then by all means keep on with it. Just realise exactly what you are doing - making her children, and thus by extension their mother, absolutely miserable for an effort that was begun in good faith and has done nothing since then to depart from that - this mum, whom you all want to crucify, put her oldest child in BASIS DC the day it opened. I ask you to look into your hearts and figure out what the hell you all think you are doing.
The list serve has been closed down for a long time, she was worried that she played a role in it, has been reassured that she is not that important, and so what are you mums in such a frenzy about? That you think she has been posting here?
She would NEVER do anything to give BASIS DC bad publicity, except to work from the inside, which she has been doing, via emails, meetings, and constant conversations with administrators as well as parents.
So you all can turn over a new leaf, or bloody go to hell, but your speculations about whether she is here can be answered by me: no.
Now get on with it, whatever you think you all are doing in the first frigging place, attacking a straw woman, be done with it.
And if you are raising your children with Christian values or with any values for that matter, stop having conversations that provoke them unsolicited to approach vulnerable children with the statement "my mom hates your mom." If you all have deliberately provoked this than you have gotten the response: silence.
As it should be. What else could any child possibly say? I don't think they want to attempt to refute the specious reasons behind the hatred, which appear to have far more to do with posts here than anywhere else. And that alone should tell you that you are wrong. If your hatred has to do with posts here, she does not post here.
Be done with this, or damn you all to hell... Act like adults for a change, could you?
So that her children, and your children, can act like children.
If you want to have at my friend, you have her email address.
Any other approach is dirty, underhanded, and in my opinion, beyond the pale.
