I posted that I was looking for an item here and was extremely grateful to the lovely member who alerted me to one for sale. When the vendor didn't reply, I did not make accusations or negative comments. I simply stated that I was still looking.
I'm not sure why I then recieved a hostile feeling reply from an admin who immediately locked the thread so that I could not even apologize or explain. I wasn't aware that asking for help on this board (from a community who might actually be able to provide it) was against the rules.
Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I think there was a kinder way to deal with my error. A private message when the post was originally made over a week ago explaining the rules would have been helpful.
The the member who tried to help me find the item for my daughter, a heartfelt thank you for your effort. To the chalk bucket members I offended by asking if you had a leotard available, my apologies. To the admin who felt it necessary to take disiplinary actions by locking me out of the thread, I hope your day improves.
