    PenPen - if you must please give up your BG status but not your postings. You are such an important part of the OS thread I have gained a lot of knowledge from lots of your posts and enjoyed your contribution to the flylady thread so please dont leave us.

    to others please have your opinions on the right threads but please dont judge our BGs they have a job to do that not a lot of us would put our hands up for, so if you dont agree with them look into being one - you may find its harder than you think...
  • Hi

    Im a predominately a lurker, but needed to post to say what a shame all of this is, I get enought of back biting and people being nasty in the day.

    I really look forward to looking at these forums during the day and recently posted that it had inspired me to try something new. Without her knowing it the OP has been an inspiration to me, Ive found her helpful and welcoming and am very sad that she feels like this, for what its worth I would like to say sorry to see you have felt like this.

    You are a help even when you dont realise it to us lurkers (I realise you may not read this), thanks for all

    Pen Pen honey I am so sorry to read your post and what has happened - I never fails to amaze me that some people can stoop so low. they have no thought for the feelings of others with their argumentative and offensive posts. I hope you can read this thread and see the support - just ignore the ones that have even had the audacity to bring their aguement on here - shame on them!

    I for one can only thank you and praise you for all your hard work as a BG - you do a fantastic thankless job trying to keep us all in order - me included!

    I have never known you you overstep your position or do anything which isnt beneficial to the site. Your decency, thoughfulness, integrity, support and caring for others is amazing.

    I know you will come back to us in time - for now rest and enjoy the love of your family - you will be sorely missed by the majority of people on here.
    Take care lovely,
    love and hugs

    PS you had better be back in time for my birthday cake!!!

    I am appalled by the behaviour of some of the posters on this board and feel that maybe they should be the ones taking a break from MSE for a while?

    I would give it up if I were you, people really are reading what they want to see.

    I've just spent 15 minutes reading the original thread by Crux that started all this & I'm not ashamed of anything I said.

    Time & time again there were numerous "remarks" like a certain poster apologising for buying whoopsies - that was inflammatory. I said I love a whoopsie but don't get much time to look for them, but time & time again it was implied that people had a problem with others buying whoopsies.

    What on earth was all that about.

    To anyone who hasn't read the thread I urge you to read it & then you will be as puzzled as I am by what on earth happened here this afternoon????

    I won't be drawn into an argument with you Mrs E even if you do directly refer to me. I really think enough damage has been done for one day. :(

    But did you not directly refer to me when you apologised for buying a whoopsie?

    Why would you do that?

    I explained time & time again on that thread, I love to get them, my problem is having to time to do so.

    I really don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you could just stop now? :(
