Unfortunately, it will probably happen again. There are psychological reasons behind the conflict. If you ever have the interest and time, look up the Robbers Cave Experiment (explained here: https://www.simplypsychology.org/robbers-cave.html).

At the heart of it is in-group and out-group relations. Terri is an out-group person on here which automatically makes her a target no matter what she does. She really tried to be as accommodating as possible, but that didn't matter. There was nothing she could have said or done to have changed things once that thread got posted.

Nevertheless, the contest was motivated by wonderful reasons which is all that really matters. And there are many, like me, who truly do appreciate being the recipient of all the gifts. So even with yesterday's drama, I think the overall result is still positive. 😊
