I am pretty sure the heading "MB vs blog" was more about sadness. There used to be so much activity on the MB, but no more. Lots of people there feel sad about it. Some people are as passionate about the MB as some are about the blog. I think that I read the response that irked you. It was sassy. Best to roll with it. Lots of other people were genuinely interested in the discussion. Sorry if you felt the MB was vitriolic. I've experienced a similar feeling/reaction on both the blog and the MB. You never really know how someone will respond to a comment...but it's all good. I think someone here posted, "roll with it." I try to! Here and in life, i try not to take anything too personally and at least be empathetic. The latter is the hardest though!

She has such an elegant sensibility. I like Vern too. He is so precise in his designs. I'd like to see a very modern dream home again with super- modern furnishings. It's not my personal style but it would be a cool change.

"you will love this house or else..."
