People taking the p***

Is it just me who is getting fed up of people who come on here & just take this p****...part of me feels that we should just ignore them (as I have to date!) but it's quite wearing/stressful finding these individuals popping up all the time & apparently taking great joy out of our distress! Quite sad that people find others distress so amusing but at the same time wondering whether it's just me that this bothers? Doubt that there is much that can be done other than not rising to it...:mad:

  • I've never known anyone on DFW take the mickey out of others.

    I've always thought that we are all a caring, sharing good advice kind of group?

    I'm sure others would back me up. I've never found a friendlier board than this one on the internet!!! Especially when it is such an important subject!

    The amount of hugs,smiles,good luck messages etc. which are passed on is always amazing!!

    Keep smiling!

    If you do think that is happening, please do just hit the report button to abuse and let them deal with it.

    It can be difficult ignoring but it really is the best policy.

    Nah that was Kevicho mate who is well alright. I think it was just a case of how we go on about how every penny is important so should he do the MSE thing which would be to earn £2 or settle for piece of mind! :)

    All debt is relevent to the individual.

    A £100 debt to one person is the equivilent of a £10,000 to another.

    They are probably jealous at how we are all sorting our lives out. I bet if we looked at their finances they are in a worse hole than us (well probably not me :p ) and don't know how to go about fixing it!

    Just ignore them like people ignore me! :D :rolleyes: :doh:
