OMG!!!! I bet she did that on purpose!!!

Here - just go to her main page, scroll down @ 1/3 of the page and read the answering fan mail part

there's also a comment from a CS member (evidently she's not a CS fan)

okay, so so so sorry everyone. I deleted both links since they seem to be going to nasty photos. just google her site 'open source cook' if you want to see what she's said about us. She is responding to our not so nice comments about her in a not so nice manner - I guess we asked for it when we started picking on her...

anyhow, I'm off here for while. I have some work to do and I'm taking DS to the BK playground for a while. catch ya'll later.

my filter at work blocked the link due to "sexual content".
Linda, I just clicked on the link you just posted.
 
OMG! That is not right, I opened the link at work! You might want to delete your original link Linda, I didn't read all the way through the thread when I opened it.
 
I deleted the first link - is the second one (post #211) going there too?
 
No, the second link is fine. That first one was a doozy!:yuck:
 
For those of you who haven't looked at this link I would suggest you do, there are alot of members comments on her website that are copied from here, ChefBecky, Ann, Janet...

She says she's been a consultant for only two months and no one has "bothered" to contact her regarding what the rules and procedures are, but she has not really bothered to follow what she DOES know.
I sent her a private email a few weeks ago when all this came to light because I was trying to be helpful and let her know, I figured she didn't know, but now that she DOES, she is just being disrespectful to "CP" as she calls it, because she doesn't want to mention "PC" (whatever) and I hope that HO does do something about this, just for principal sake.

And hey, OSC, if you are reading this, why don' t you actually POST something on here yourself instead of hiding behind your own website?
 
I just clicked the second link & got an eyeful! Thank Heavens my kids weren't in the room. I think you ought to double check (if you dare - lol) the 2nd link again.
 
SO SO SO SORRY everyone for the nasty links. She is evidenlty much more web savy that I am. All I did was copy and paste the link from her site. I've deleted both of them. If you want to see what she has to say, just google her site Open Source Cook. The comments are on there.

again - apologies!!!!
 
What the heck, she posted something I said on there and I wasn't even being nasty as she pointed out above. All I did was mention that the recipes are copywrited (is that a word?). Wow, it has gone too far!
 
I think Greg needs to read her comments because she talks about him and this sites security.

I clicked on the link you posted and it was ok.
 
I think that anyone who has a problem with her needs to report it to HO and not post anything more about it on this site.

I've read her comments. She is trying to hurt the site, but she won't. This is what happens to all successful and popular organizations. There are work a rounds to everything in life, and if you want to be the person that cheats through life then so be it. People who want to see CS stick around will continue to support it. I am sure of that. :)
