So What Happened This Past Tuesday?

I am still in the process of figuring out what is going on, but some things went down in one of last week's posts. Since I was away on holiday, I was not able to address this situation in a timely manner. So here it is now...

Although I am repeating myself a bit from a post in September ("About One of Last Week's Post... (commentary & possible resolution)"), I believe the parts about "let's avoid personal attacks" & "let's all be open to the diversity of comments" are still true for this situation.

It's also clear to me that certain JCAs do not, and most likely will never, get along with other certain JCAs. It just is what it is. It happens. Since that may be the case, I politely ask a few things: (1) do not engage with the JCA you do not care for, (2) do not respond at all to the JCA who you do not care for, even after being sought out in a comment; & (3) if you are going to engage with each other, than discuss your "concerns" elsewhere as we can all agree that this blog is not the best forum to air it out.

Lastly, I like the suggestion from Amy about creating a weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts, but where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew like LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.) What are your thoughts on it?

Sorry for the long post (& not addressing this sooner). And now back to J.Crew!
