I know I keep harping on about this, but I really must object to this 'the group' nonsense. The social group in question is a conglomerate mass of more than 150 people, and as far as I can tell possibly a maximum of 5 or 6 have chosen to use LJ as a forum for their somewhat negative opinions. Some of us are doing our best to be understanding about your community, please try to grant us the same privilege.
You say yourself: that was my point - she probably needs to take a close look at how many of the people she may consider friends are actually only associates, and stop them telling them personal details they don't need or want to know
I think possibly the point Binky was trying to make was that many of the people who only consider themselves associates of Chris are not unsympathetic, but would perhaps rather not be dragged into this rather personal aspect of her life. It can be very difficult when people you know, but not well, insist on sharing information that you are not comfortable with.
