Some facts have been clearly stated about this incident, I will not repeat them. There have also been opinions.

For what I have read, there is one particular event that took place, the suggestion of a person to the FCF. She has said that she made a mistake through a letter to somebody else, who then thought it was important to publish it. The letter itself carried a permission to make it publish.

The mistake she refers to is that she thought the FCF and TF were not linked. When she discovered that there were in fact linked, she felt cheated and hurt. I understand that this is the mistake she is talking about.

She is not talking about how her words cause some effects, she is also not talking about the trouble and concern that her words caused. She may be sorry for those but from her letter one could not understand that because she didn't make it explicit or even suggest the possibility that people in exfamily.org may have been hurt at some level. I don't know if this is the case but the coordinators have mentioned their concern about it. Has she addressed this? Not that I know of. These are facts.

Then I read your repeating some things over and over again, your opinions as to how wonderful this person is, how she and others have helped people leave the family, etc. None of that is relevant to the facts at hand. She may be a wonderful friend to you and others and a saint who helps millions, is that enough reason to excuse her in this instance?
