  • Gosh - that's a shame this has happened. The board used to be so friendly.

    It still is!!! I think we just had a few trolls who succeeded in making newbies feel quite miserable :mad: I think also as the whole site grows there are many people attracted by other parts (bargains etc) who find their way to dfw without really understanding what its about and can be very insensitive (intentionally or not who knows :confused: ).

    i havent really been around too muc recently due to PC probs and so forth, Im sorry this has been going on. but in saying that in fits and starts, sometimes we get a few bad apples, then we recover and we carry on doing what we are doing. Like any happy family theres gonna be squabbles from time to time. ;)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I agree - I have avoided posting on several threads after being aggressively put down. No one pretends to be perfect with their advice, which is exactly why this is a forum for sharing ideas and experience. We don't need bullies.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    :T well said broken hearted, why should we allow the very small minority to spoil it for those who are and will become debt free, using the suport and encouragement of this board/site hug8ok.gif
