Really enjoyed passing on my knowledge with others, my tips have helped many people. Least I hope they have, as most were learnt from members of boards like this.
I must of been doing something right, all my "thanks" are from the last 2 days lol.

But due to abusive PM's etc I have decided to leave. I wish you all the best with getting Debt Free. It might be a long road, but when you reach that chequred flag It does not half feel good lol

    I've just seen ur post and wanted to reply just to say that you shouldn't leave because of a few abusive people. Report them and carry on, especially if u like helping others like ur post suggests
    Starting to save £2 coins again, but it is a struggle:rotfl:Not doing very well keep spending them
  • They will still remain, so best I leave.
    Even if removed, if they change their name etc I am sure they can rejoin.

  • Absolutely. Those that cannot have a reasoned debate or a disagreement without resorting to abuse should be reported. I think we proved we can disagree amicably in the hotel thread, and the vast majority of users here are able to do this.

    Without meaning to criticise, people reacting in this way only fuels the fire. Hold your head up high, carry on enjoying the site and giving help to those you can. I would recommend, however, using phrases like "I think" or "as far as I am aware" if you're not 100% able to back up what you're saying quickly and easily, otherwise you are easy fodder for those that want to lay into anyone they can get their paws on.

    Hope to see you back :)

    I'm so sorry to hear that, unfortunately there seems to have been a lot of that going on lately. The boards have certainly changed their atmosphere for the worse recently.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Jamie, as i put on the other thread, you can block people on your portal so if you don't want to read what they have put, or get messages from them then it will not allow them to send them. If you leave the bullies have won, as ultimately thats what they are doing

    Jamie, I know we have had a lot of banter today, but if someone has sent you abusive PM's you should report them to Abuse. They can check the messages and take action if need be.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Jamie, I'm so sorry if our good natured debate today has caused this. Please stay, otherwise there will be one more idiot on this forum and one less polite, intelligent, reasonable, valued contributor.

    I don't know the posts you're referring to Jamie, I haven't looked, but please don't leave the forum because of a few idiots.
    Stick the proverbial two fingers up at them and report them, the rest of us would be sorry to see you go.
