    A lot of serious replies to this one - hopefully all in the same spirit of irony as my original post (a jokey post for a jokey thread), LIR and IM being two of the straightest posters on here which I thought would make it amusing to accuse them of the sock puppet malarkey - sorry to both of you if it wasn't funny.

    I didn't twig, I admit. :o:o

    Does that mean I am still an outsider?:o:o;)

    (lir thinks bout how much she can get away with while still being one of the ''straightest'' posters and thinks Michaels cn't have been around much when Cleaver and I -and the rest of the girls- used to be here together in the late nights:D:o)

    ETA: in fact, I bit my tongue pretty well when someone mentioned sugar beet in a thread- I thought. I have a lot I could say about that and ariculturl economy ATM. :) Lots and lots in fact.:) But...I just don't like it when its so nasty so I emiled it all to foundinrates in a mad out of nowhere MSE style to rant about the aricultural economy and sugar beet instead.

    That's a shame. We all started somewhere. People come and go on the board and are, on the whole, welcomed. No-one should, or is in my view, made to feel unwelcome for the sake of it.

    Anyone getting a kick out of being a bully is usually dealt with. Some individual rivalries inevitably crop up but, in the main, there's only some gentle teasing.

    As a sensitive soul, if I could cope with getting involved I think most could. :cheesy:

    That's ok treliac, I stuck it out and I'm still here. It's inevitable that a board with such a small and regular membership becomes a little introverted and cliquey and I'm just as bad now with my jokey references to DD every so often. I can't help myself though to be honest, it's such good fun to post a "I remember when DD said..." comment and watch all the furor unfold. I'm such a minx. :D

    yet do nothing to stand up for each other. No wonder that person who was bullied left.

    The rumours over the leaving wrre that something happened by pm: not much any of us could do about something we didn't see. I think its an unfair accustion to the board as a whole that we don't stand up for each other. I'm flattered to feel proof of that on this thread.

    I don't know, what's "reicarnation"? A rare asian flower?
