    And that quote I used comes from post #293.

    It's a shame when a poster creates a new ID, spends days / weeks creating a sense of identity, covers their tracks carefully, builds a story, and then blows the whole lot because they cannot resist the need to attack carolt.

    Might as well create BonnyNonny, log in, say "carolt you smell" and get ppr'd straight away. Would save a lot of effort.

    edit: er, I didn't mean Aqualung btw.

    I was attempting to appeal to other posters better natures, but if this was perceived as a personal attack then I apologise unreservedly to carolt et al.

    I must admit that I skim over a lot of Julieq's posts as they are a little wordy and overly complex for me (not an implied criticism, possibly more a reflection of my lack of intelligence and available time :)) so perhaps there was something in them that inspires such a block of resentment. However after seeing four or five posters gang up on a person (and experiencing something similar right now :eek:) I felt that it was unfair bullying, and the worst sort of pack mentality. Perhaps julieq is reaping what she sows, I don't know, but I do know that this sort of conflict makes no one look good. I thought I was doing the right thing by stepping in and trying to calm things down, but I seem to have ended up as part of the brawl.

    I'll quietly crawl out of the battle now, lick my wounds and leave you lot to get on with it. I really apologise if I stepped on any toes or upset anyone, I'm here to learn about the economy, recession and house prices not to moderate. :o

    I agree about the "ganging up" Harry

    I don't like that either.



    But she does get on my t1ts.

    This is a cracking thread. Attack followed by apology followed by attack and so on.

    I don't like ganging up either Harry, from either side, so kudos to you.

    To save any more of this - can I just say you are all !!!!!! and I love you.

    Thanks guys. :)

    p.s. I poked my nose in when I saw a few of the resident Bulls having a go at carolt several months back, but she told me to mind my own business. I never learn, I'm such a softy for the fairer sex :o

    Carolt, dont you know anything? Harry apologises, you are forced to accept and we all go away feeling like social workers.
    Stick to the script, please.

    To be fair, I hadn't seen Harry's post - I deleted mine humbly.

    I do know the form. ;)

    That's OK carolt, I missed the post. Glad you did this one as I was completely confused by wageslave's post.

    Anyway, Hamburger Hill is on Five USA so I gotta go. Play nice while I'm away kids or there'll be trouble! :naughty:;)

    What point of the cycle are you at?
    Probably getting close to desperation?
    Dont worry you will get another chance in 10 years or so.
