NJgalis not going to be back. That is not her style or fits her purpose. She had never contributed anything in the past except for a couple of questions and had not posted anything in the last three years. I am always suspicious of someone's motivation when they start a posting with, "This is the letter I sent ...." She was not interested in sharing an experience but taking as big a shot as she could at H Am. And then became insulted, offended because several challenged her story as being a little excessive or over the top. The proof didn't appear to match the claim.

I do not doubt for a minute that her tale was her perception of the truth. But the argument that her "truth" should be accept without challenge because it was her perception is lame. I could have the perception that , "(pick any race) is dirty, lazy, smelly, dishonest, etc." That fact that I have that perception does not make it true nor should I expect my perceptions to go unchallenged especially when posted in a public form. Unfortunately the internet allows someone to lunch bombastic attacks and then disappear with no accountability.

IMO, nothing has been lost. And maybe you should not book the cheapest cabin on H Am,

Absolutey correct! This reminds me of the kid who quit the game and took his ball with him because the outcome wasn't going his way.

And then you get BeachBoi and Jerauld swinging in with Nazis and bullies, want-to-be editors, etc. It doesn't make any sense. With me you lose all creditability when you resort to name calling and labeling. If you cannot address the arguments get out of the discussion. You have nothing to contribute.

NJgal tried to smear H Am with a broad brush and it didn't take. Probably just as well that she is not going to post anymore.
