Well, the only thing to do is ignore it. You can't really demand she get out. (I'm sorry I posted in the forum when I didn't know the whole story)

If her comments were that offensive (and I didn't read her original comment so I don't know whether they are or not) then other people in the group will not appreciate it either, and they will probably ignore her as well.

First, let me say that everyone has the right to express his/her opinion and if the person is simpley presenting an alternate view it may be better just to agree to disagree. Possibly send the person a PM to ask that they start a new group with their side being presented. Most people are reasonable and will make concessions if a person approaches them respectfully and privately. I wouldn't take them on publicly as that causes hurt feelings and makes both parties look like a$$es.

If you make this attempt and the person responds negatively and the person is not following EP guidelines, posting stories within an experience, you can flag that story utilizing the buttons provided within each story. When you flag that story it will be removed from view until a member of the EP support team views it for compliance. If it does not meet guidelines the EP staff member sends a warning to the offender and removes the offensive material. If the poster is within EP Guidelines then you have two options: speak with them directly or practice"live and let live" philosophy and ignore it.

Tink, no offense but are you talking about yourself? You sound pretty negative.
