Chicklet,
You know, its funny how two people who were not directly affected by "the incident" can end up seeing the situation so completely differently. I do not wish to fan flames any further but some things Need To Be Said.
You ask what good she did by belatedly coming clean? The whole thing is really an excellent example of how "reincarnating" on the board can be done in a healthy and productive manner. Someone makes a mistake -- one that people have a hard time getting past. They come back as "someone else" and establish a track record of being positive and supportive. And then once this appears to be established, they "come clean". This gives people a chance (because of the new track record) to see that the person has in fact changed -- something they might not have been willing to see had she "come back" as her original persona.
If anything (based on the responses), perhaps she erred in not waiting quite long enough. I am sorry that you cannot see this the way I do, but that is your choice. Mine is different.
Peace be unto you Karen, and hopefully we will cross paths later under better circumstances.
