Anita provided one already. Here it is. . .

Netghost:

MOST folks who were on TB2000 last year understand the story, but I'll spell it out for those who weren't here: Two anonymous posters on TB2000 began E-mailing off the board. One was female and married and the other was male and in a long-term relationship [although not married} to Rhoda. The female was worried about Y2k and had a husband who didn't understand her fears. The male, although engaged in a long- term relationship, felt that the relationship had been suffering for a while and a new relationship had appeal. They somewhat covertly made plans to get together IRL, but the male was caught. Rhoda decided to post on TB2000 to let everyone know of this scandalous "affair."

Once rollover passed uneventfully, the female decided to stay with her husband, thereby dumping the male who had already been "caught." The husband had never been a poster on TB2000, and Rhoda had never been a poster either. She simply wanted to see the anonymous male poster "suffer", and she continues to want to see the anonymous male poster "suffer."

Netghost purports that the female in the relationship is Old Regular. He seems to feel that the male poster was manipulated. He takes that further and suggests that if Old Regular is the female poster, she will attempt to manipulate others who post on this forum. He's particularly incensed that the female poster suffered no apparent ramifications in her relationship with her husband.

*I* don't know who Old Regular is, nor do I care. I chat several times/week with the male poster involved in the scandal, and although he kicks himself for being an old fool on occasion, he accepts the consequences of his actions. Rhoda has moved on, it seems, and found another man.

The only one who hasn't moved beyond this seems to be Netghost.

Both parties involved learned a lesson. The male learned that all that glitters is not gold, and the female learned that decisions shouldn't be made based on fear.
