Lady Edwards

So after reading what I had to say last night the fine Mrs. Edwards responded with three messages over the course of a few hours.....
   "Please add this to your blog..... Your comments and actions create division, hurt feelings and unnecessary drama (that you seem to need for attention for some reason). You are obviously quite disturbed (bless YOUR heart).  I'm glad to see the RIF processed worked in at least one case.  I will pray for you. 
Please feel free to add this to your blog too...
Also... There's quite a few arguments in your statement that you don't support or explain very well.  I'd love the opportunity to chat with you in person and get you to verbalize how a wife wearing a tshirt and showing pride in what she does to support her husbands profession takes away from your service in way, shape or form.  I'd love to get you to explain that to me and explain how saying horrible things about the wives makes you any better than what you are accusing them of doing.  Your comments and the drama you are stirring are causing pain and heartache for people that don't deserve it.  So yes, that does make you a bully.  Most of the true Gunship women and crewmembers I know ARE the quiet professionals and could care less about a little tshirt.  In fact, out at Cannon, the crewmembers and the wives wear the tshirts together at functions.  What a concept.  If someone is treating you badly, it is up to you to address it and confront the true issue which in my opinion has absolutely nothing in this world to do with a t-shirt.  
On second thought, you are not welcome to post any of my responses to your page or tie my name to your craziness in any way.  Just like previous incidents, where people took your inappropriate postings to the commander, I'm sure I'll end up seeing them.  I'll contact (company's) Human Resources and cut and paste them in a letter to The CEO"

She clearly asked someone for some second hand information about me. I have deleted the name of the CEO she says she's going to write directly and the company she says I work for. 

My response..
  Well Mrs Edwards... Denise... Ma'am... Lt. Col... Whatever it is you like to be called, AGAIN I'll try to address your statements in order (even though you addressed none of my points other than saying that you didn't understand.)   WE, the women who have served in the 4sos find the shirts offensive as they claim a title which we worked hard for and hold dear.  If anyone other than the women of the 4th were offended this would be a nonissue and the shirts would never have been made. I have only been told of one female from U-models who doesn't find these shirts offensive.  If you still don't understand please see all the examples I listed in my last response.  
  Again, I said that I am friends w multiple wives... Actually I am friends w some wives who's husbands I rarely talked to bc they're awesome women, so to act like I'm speaking of anyone other than those who have provoked us is just bating on your part. Why exactly shouldn't I speak honestly about women who openly disrespect us?  I'm assuming along with entitlement you are teaching victim and fake niceness to your daughters... More of what the world needs. 
   So, it's silly for us to be offended by the shirts and WE are causing pain and heartache? How exactly is it dramatic to state our opinion? If it's such a trivial thing then change the wording!  Why do people keep bringing up Cannon and the 16th? I wasn't in the 16th.  Maybe I should get a shirt that says I was though... Hmm. Who is treating me badly? Are you referring to the wives? I guess we could bring up their behavior... Like when we ask them and leadership to change a shirt... It goes over about as well when you say "Sir, your wife shouldn't order the airmen around."  Considering people have been "bringing it up" for years, I'd say that ship has sailed. 
  Here's the thing about social media sweet heart... You sent a stranger (me) a message and legally once that message hits my inbox, it's mine to do with as I see fit.  There is no expectation of privacy on Facebook.  So, you can tell me to not post things all you like.  I'm glad to see you took the initiative to ask someone about me.  That is LIKE what happened, so I don't know how much I would trust all of their information. I never said I worked for that company and I'm not sure exactly what you plan on sending the CEO of a multibillion dollar company? Are you threatening to send this person why I got separated from the Air Force or are you threatening to send him that I said I don't like your tishrts or are you threatening to send him my messages where I am defending myself from your hostile messages. I guess it really doesn't matter, the point is you are threatening me.  After throwing your rank around so freely and making sure I understand that you're a Lt. Col as I understand it it is frowned upon for a military member to threaten a civilian.  Do not threaten me again Lt Col.. YOU contacted me and I responded in kind and did what is my legal right to do. 
 If you do send something to the CEO or HR department, what are you going to say? Please forward it to me so I can share it too... We're all dying to read that letter.  
I have attached a hurt feelings report in case you need a starting point... Feel free to write in "woman" where appropriate.
