Thank You Kim! I didn’t know Mike, but your courage helps balance this place out.
I am posting to explain a few things. You may see a lot of posts missing, and edited. I got mail from one of the people edited and will tell what happened. She was tired of all the crap being spread anonymously around this forum. Everything from her beating up kids, to getting knocked up. Not true, and no way to clear her name. She asked that the forums remove anonymous references to her, citing a new law. The new law is meant to prevent cyber harassment, much like the phone harassment laws. You can read about it here (link will open in a new window) That is not to say you can’t post, if you spout off stupid crap about naming people the board can be held liable for not putting in place some sort of registration system. They log ip addresses, but do not require e-mail, or verification.
They wrote back and said they were far too busy to maintain the forums, and just went ahead and deleted all of her posts. Kinda like having a kid and abandoning it and refusing to pay child support. That is how the forums have gotten so out of control. Her posts were ones supporting Montvale and Pascack Hills. Her goals were to reconnect with long lost classmates and talk about our happy childhoods.
I’ll admit I have extremely harsh on the boards, but without supervision, this place was nothing but innuendo and lies. Like her, I have been saying Montvale was not that bad. That is the whole point. We enjoyed growing up in Montvale as did most of the children from there.
