Trolls, Parasites and Vultures.

Agreed. It's on all sides though - those who use the term "lemmings" (as ridiculous a phrase as "war on terror", "sheep", "scaremongers" as much as those who are mocking or are smug about people with real concerns.

I want to thank the likes of Fella and others who have kept up with the story despite (seemingly) not having money invested and being generally helpful and showing a level of compassion.

However over the last few days while many have been worried sick about their hard earned money, a few members of this online community have taken it upon themselves to gloat, insult and make general nasty, spiteful and Offensive posts towards those who were worried(POSTS ARE MONITORED - Apparantly). Similar posts were made when Northern Rock was struggling.

It's an emotive issue and regardless of how reckless or ignorant some may have been with their money I would have hoped that people on this site would not deliberately try to hurt and offend these people. But it seems some couldn't help themselves. Warnings, advice are all welcome but snyde and insulting comments should not be acceptible.

S0 to all you parasites who have been reveling in onanistic glee at people suffering worry and heart ache. I would like to tell you that the only thing better than knowing that i'll be getting my money back is knowing you are helping to fund me. I'm going to take some of the money and blow it on a massive p1ss up, after all it's going on your tab.:beer:

Now take your schadenfreuder and fvck right off.

What a sad, bitter post. Why couldn't you just be glad thast your money has been safeguarded instead of spewing vitriol on this forum. You seem to have serious issues, you should get professional help IMHO

And to be frank, I believe that is negligent.

It's in the Terms and Conditions, the Rules, and at the top of every forum page. You agree to this when you sign up. Negligent? I don't believe so.

It's simply not possibly to pro actively monitor thousands upon thousands of posts per day. We don't adopt this stance in an attempt to harm our users, it is simply not logistically possible. Remember that this is an open forum, provided free and there is no definition of "poor advice". If you can accurately predict the financial world in every area for the next year for us, there's a job waiting. We cannot remove what *might* happen -it's a forum for discussion and information exchange.

Monitoring of every post is as logistically possible as ebay inspecting every item up for auction.

I'm happy to be getting my money back as well, and while I agree that there were some nasty comments made on here - do you really think that it's good that the taxpayer has to pick up the tab for this mess?

OP, well said.

I rather think that the majority of these trolls are probably so debt ridden that they have no idea what it is like to "choose a savings account"!

That is probably why they are so bitter.
