    Can't say I've ever come across Sunnyne before, but she must've really narked someone to go to the effort of creating a new ID to stalk her and tell her off. Bizarre.

    I don't think they're many who are mean to newbies, but definately suspicious of those that use their first ever post to post something contentious.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Sorry, but I've not seen a genuine newbie in these parts since.... umm... 2008 :D

    Oi! ;)

    Some of my first posts on here may have been a little off-thread (what is that about?) but I was surprised by a reply hinting that I had been psycho-analysed and found wanting (which got 4 thanks. :eek:) Pretty disconcerting when you're totally new to forums. I'm wondering now if they thought I was really an AE or just inadequate.

    Start a thread about being bullied by that annoying Quasar, who has so many posts she thinks she is above all newbies and is well in with Admin and will have anyone banned and how can this go on and where's the justice, and where's that bottle of whisky and blah

    Some people have issues and like to score cheap points for themselves. It's sad, but it's their issue.
    Happy chappy

    Not into whisky really, but if you can spare the last drop in the bottle it will be ever so gratefully received. :p
