Hi MK ladies! I wanted to pop in to apologize to you all because the thread I started for our Question of the Week category took a nasty turn and it ended up with a lot of people being mean toward Michael Kors. I posted this in that thread, but I wasn't even thinking people would be just throwing out a brand and saying it was all awful - I truly meant more of a 'oh, I keep seeing bag X and it just was too saturated for me'. I totally see how that was probably way too bright eyed and bushy tailed of an approach for a thread like that!
I deleted the nasty comments and closed the thread. That was my fault, I really am sorry.
As for when you see that in other areas of the forum - please just let me know. You can either report a post/thread or send me a PM. I am sometimes a little slow to get back to PMs, I get a ton of them and miss some, but I will check it out, act on it, and get back to you when I can.
And someone mentioned maybe we wanted to get rid of some brands because of the question I posed. That is not at all the intention. Every forum that has it's place here will stay unless it shows no activity - that is the only time we've collapsed subforums (some contemporary subforums for example used to stand on their own but had so little activity we had to collapse them into the general bag chat).
The forum is a place to have fun - it's an escape and a place to get together with like-minded people. I know not everyone will get along, but the goal is to have this be a safe place. If anyone is breaking our rules, please do report it, it's the only way I can see everything that's happening.
Thanks for being a part of the forum and if I can do anything to make it better for you all, let me know!

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you open the curtains and think "really, this, this is a stay in and wear your comfies all day," then realise it is only Thursday and you have to go to work! This is one of those days!!!!
So I am using my Sutton for work at the moment it is full up and now I need to think about changing it out for a Selma to be able to zip up my paper docs I carry round to prevent them getting soggy. On a positive, it means there will be a bright colour on my arm this miserable day.

Thanks Megs, but it's really getting to be no fun when we feel like we have to stay in our own back yard or we will get harassed and insulted. Sometimes they even come here and start in on us right here, as you saw earlier today. I know it's not your fault and thanks for helping us out, but we don't feel like we are welcome anywhere else on the TPF, or have a right to show off our beautiful MK bags. It is really depressing and running many MK members off of our forum. Hope this ever changes and members become more accepting and think before they are so quick to insult us. To quote my Mom "It;s just as easy to be nice as it is to be rude, in fact it's easier! "Hi MK ladies!

This mean girl stuff is so high school. I just don't see it ever going away. It has been an ongoing issue for way too long already. Thanks for trying to help, as always. I don't see how you can really stop it? You shouldn't have to be always removing posts from grown adults, nor should we have to be reporting them. Depressing! Thanks for trying though,
Yikes! Here we go again. Already missing spring and summer. Yes, weather like that makes me want to go to sleep. Have a great day with your Selma!
+1 agree with these sentiments my saying "manners cost nothing!" As cinthiaz says these are grown adults, who should treat others with respect not insult us and our choosen fav brand. I wouldn't dream of doing that, everyone likes different things. That is why we are all individuals. Sadly manners seems to be a dying art form for some.
Yes it made me want to get back under the duvet and stay there! Sadly work beakoned and it has just been slowly getting worse!!!!

First of all i want to say how much i appreciate and applaud your handling of this, not only in the thread itself but also coming here to speak more privately with the group.
I have no doubt your intent of the thread was good, but i knew it would not take long and seemed once as the vulture were swarming, it was assumed it was time to kick off.
As many of us here have said and agree it is a form of bullying, it's perfectly okay to have opinions and dislikes but folks take this way to far with this brand and yes many don't feel comfortable posting or even showing their bags off this section, which is so wrong.
Some will argue get over it, there bags you can buy what you like, while this true the comments they make take it to a personal level which is hard to just brush off, i will say as a 'newbie' to this forum and the whole world of purses, i was appalled by some people's comments and felt why on earth am i even participating in this?
Tones and expressions get lost in type so some allowances need to be there but quite a few made their opinions beyond clear which was slightly startling one could get that nasty over a brand of bag, don't like it ...don't buy it.
Hopefully your handling of this at the very least will make a few realize they need to just agree to disagree with the brand and move on vs attack and insult. Others will feel differently and simply see it as us overeating and we need to get over ourselves. Harmony is a tough balance on a large forum but the effort made by you is definitely a wonderful first step.
