We're all entitled to our opinion, and Darlahood was merely
expressing hers. You have the right to do the same. I'm sorry if her
post turned you off of the forum, but please don't let difference of
opinion get in the way. We're all henna artists, so let's let that be
a bond between us to stick life out together.
Please stay and continue to participate.
Peace and love to all sentient beings,
~Nick
