What Val failed to mention is the fact that not only did she defend the Philadelphia Board, but she also DRAGGED IT ON. She did not need to continue posting on the DW Board. The DW Bride that posted the request for people to go in with her on a B Pic Session apologized for making the statements that she did and asked that the matter be dropped SEVERAL times. Val unfortunately decided to continue pushing the issue. It was at that point the other DW Brides defended THEIR board and Val continued to be snarky in her posts. This went on for two days. Come on now! Two days. There was no need whatsoever to track her down on another board just to add fuel to the fire. Both of the Moderators from the DW board had asked for the matter to be dropped on several occasions but Val continued to post comments not just to the original DW Bride who had already apologized but to others who were posting on totally different subjects. Val provoked everything that happened after the DW Bride apologized. It is obvious that Val and a couple of other Philly Brides weren't going to let the issue drop and continued to be snarky in various other posts. Belittling the DW Brides on their own board was very childish. You didn't see one DW Bride run over to this board to cause more drama or get snarky with any of the brides here. I wouldn't think they would either because for the three weeks or so that I've been on the knot nobody on that board seems to be rude or assinine at all. I am fairly new to the boards period and from an outsider looking in, it was in very bad taste for Val and the other Philly Brides to act and make inapproporate comments as they did AFTER it was asked to drop the matter. It is evident that even Knot Annie considered Val's actions to be childish, hence the banning and pulling her duties as a moderator. Who can blame Annie for that? As a moderator, you should be preventing drama instead of promoting it. Yes, Val was an outstanding moderator on this board by the way everyone has rallied around her but unless you read the thread from the other day you can't judge her or the DW Brides.
