    I've never been on this thread before, so apologies for 'invading' :o but I wish to say this: what you've had to put up with is inexcusable divadee, and I've had a hard job to keep my usual cool when replying on that thread. Now some of the digs have started in DT also.

    Please know that for every detractor there are many more who support you. It's just not worth to let it get to you, although I know it's easier said than done.

    I'm sure mse towers will take some of this load off you tomorrow.

    ETA: Another thing that riled me on that thread were certain insinuations to the effect that DT is beneath their level of discussion. In fact DT exists for ALL sort of discussions and although there may be many trivial threads, there are also many serious and well argued ones, requiring the full use of one's brain. I would have thought that divadee did good in moving threads there. That, and the fact that as a DT regular I resent being classed as incapable of good, pertinent debate.

    Yep, I don't know divadee at all I must say, but after seeing the baying mob after her on THAT thread, she all my sympathy - I certainly couldn't do her job. And it's good to see a board where she's obviously so appreciated. You keep at it, divadee! :beer:

    Hugs to divadee.... I do a similar job on another set of discussion boards and it can sometimes be a thankless task.

    Hopefully, she'll take a little break and not let it get to her too much. I sometimes walk away for a couple of days and remind myself that real life is what really matters.

    Only just seen what this is about. Hope you are ok - I have been a Mod before...as said, a thankless task most of the time....so don't let them get you down. Your work is very much appreciated.

    Crikey! I usually just lurk around here, but had to send my own virtual hug to Divadee, absolutely no need whatsoever for people to be so rude.

    Please try to remember they are in a huge minority and no doubt wouldn't even say boo to a goose in real life.

    Lot's of love xxx

    Bing bong, Avon calling :p

    I wish more doorbells did work cos then more people might answer the door :rotfl:

    Back to work today after 4 days off and no more holidays to use up so full time again, plus extra hours cos of all the recent crazy interest rate changes :mad: wish OH could get a job and I could go part time cos my job's really getting me down at the moment .... at least Christmas is just round the corner and hopefully I'll get some extra money from my bing bong Avon Calling to enjoy Xmas a little more ... hoping some people at work have orders for me when I return :D

    See you all this evening, have a nice day and please give Divadee some hugs and support from me if she pops in today ... as has been said previously, you do a fanatastic job Diva and the majority of us realise and appreciate what you do and I hope that you don't let the minority prevent you from returning here :o

    Hugs Divadee. Just seen this thread and need to head off to work, so haven't had time to look at the other thread.
