I can't find you under a member search but apparently you replied to me on the thread about plastic surgery and then either deleted your post or blocked me. However, I got e mail notification about your post which started

i didn't say anything about your health system except that it was expensive. I did not say it "stinks", I know nothing about it! I simply replied to an earlier poster on the thread who said people from countries with universal health care have to come to the US for treatment! I just said that British people don't!

She hasn't blocked me (yet) so I'm happy to do it on the original thread - although she made EXACTLY the same post to me that she made to you LOL!!!

She clearly hates immigrants as much as you foreigners

If she blocked you, it is because she doesn't want to see your messages.

Yes I do realise that. But IMO, if she feels she has the right to criticise me for saying something I didn't say, then I have every right to reply! She seems to think the US is THE place to be, so I am using what I believe to be the US right to express my view!

So if someone said that they didn't want to speak with you in real life, would you barge into their house, walk into their living room and start telling them what you think? That's analogous to what you're doing here by circumventing her block.

Yes, it sucks when you (generic you) can't get the last word in with someone. But the right to express ones self doesn't include the right to chase people down and ignore their desire not to hear you. I once sent you a PM whi*****luded a question, Kate, which you ignored. I didn't then post on the open boards "Hey, someone tell Kate that I asked her a question and I want her response!" I respected your implicit refusal to speak with me (if that's indeed what happened; it's quite possible you just didn't get my PM.)

To the best of my knowledge I have never received a PM from you! Ever! I have only been aware of your existence for a few months and can't remember ever interacting with you at all. Maybe I have responded on a thread, but very certainly not by PM. If you have a question, maybe you could ask me again. 

I  don't want the last word. And I would not charge into someone's private space, but neither would I send someone an aggressive response, on an open board, knowing it will be read by the recipient and by others and then block the recipient so she could no longer read the message. Why did Hope leap in to accuse me of saying something I have never said and then run away - which is in effect what she did by allowing me to read it and then blocking me? Cowardice? 

In fact, she leapt into my space, insulted me and then ran!

Why did she do that? I have no clue, I'm not her. To my mind it certainly is a cowardly act to post to someone and not give them the opportunity to reply. I'm perfectly willing to "own it", as is often said by some people, and I don't post and run/block/delete. However, she did...she posted in a public space, addressed you, and then made it impossible for you to reply directly to her. As the saying goes, "Them's the berries".

I'm no stranger to having my words twisted, so please believe me when I say that I understand your frustration.

Frustration which is not improved when two people with no knowledge of the cir****tances leap in to accuse me of breaching someone's privacy.

Um, no knowledge of the cir****tances? What additional knowledge is there beside what you've posted here? You made it very clear what had happened.

I'm sorry that you feel it's appropriate for you to state your case to someone posting on a public message board, but that you don't agree with other people who do the same!

Where do I not agree? I said it was an unpleasant thing to leap in and be critical WHEN you had no knowledge. I then explained and you said you understood, you didn't apologise! Just said you understood!
