    As SarEl has already replied, the information on Peigi was not forwarded to me by SarEl or by any other person for that matter.

    Alerted to peigi posting as Allwood on the CAG forums I went to look for myself as I'm also registered there. Having looked back through Allwood's previous posts it became rather more clear what seemed to be happening, hence why I asked Peigi for clarification. I did not purposely post the link to the CAG post/s to give Peigi the chance to explain. However her answer was to first ask me where it came from and then, within half an hour, to delete all her posts on this thread. She has also done this on other threads as SarEl has pointed out.

    The post on CAG was http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?130761-Union-too-busy-to-take-to-me&highlight and if you want to look back at previous posts you will find all the info (and more) that I have posted. There are members of CAG who are now very annoyed at the way they have been "duped".

    My apologies to SarEl if my post was unclear and gave others the impression that she passed on private messages - she has not. I have now rephrased that post just to make it absolutely clear.

    So you are twinning posters that happen to have the same issues about employment as one and the same person on different forums with different names. As far as I am aware, the only way you can make such a statement with certainty would be if you got access to peoples personal details, have got access to posters details and if so how did you obtain them. Please explain.

    You said there are members of CAG who are now very annoyed at the way they have been duped/ tricked. How have they been duped? Again please explain.

    I think you'll find that I have exactly the same username on both forums - I'm not trying to hide behind different usernames.

    I have only quoted what you, yourself have posted on CAG. Mind you you have referred to yourself, your partner and your friend so who knows what is certain.

    Quite easiy. Simply click on the username and select "View Profile". The select either "Find all posts" or "Find all started threads". Unlike MSE, CAG posts cannot be deleted though.

    It's not rocket science.

    Very simple. Having looked back at your posts plus your posts on MSE they are none too happy at you playing one board off against another.

    Peigi/Allwood - people have genuinely been trying to help you both on MSE and CAG. However you seem to have donned blinkers and cannot/will not see where all these issues with your employer are leading. Unfortunately as soon as anybody dares point this out to you, they are subjected to allegations and suggestions that they are out to get you - much the same thing that appears to be happening in your dealings with your employer.

    Well Peigi / Allwood.... as one of those duped by you I can say categorically that you indicated (ADMITTED) that you had posted on another forum (MSE as it turns out) and then copied what a MSE poster had replied to the same post. As it happens it was not the same post. So to be clear I think you have been deceptive. It sorrows me greatly to get involved but what you are trying to do leaves me worried about your thinking processes. I am a tolerant person to most actions of people but one has to draw a line somewhere.

    Just so you are clear I AM ANNOYED WITH YOU. I feel that you have duped me and I am sure others are too.

    This statement is true I have made it of my own free will.....

    Why hello Papasmurf - fancy seeing you here :)

    OP - you have left this board so many times now that I think you are caught in the revolving door on the way out. It's actually amusing (or perhaps sad) that someone who posts under diffferent names on different boards is accusing people who use the same names across boards of being duplicitous. Just in case you are wondering - I can't speak for Jem, but I always use the same name on all boards I am a member of. Admittedly there aren't a huge number, but I feel you should know this so that when you are looking for some new mugs to play your game, you can check out the posters and ensure that we haven't already signed up.

    I'd also suggest that instead of cutting and pasting you write entirely new posts - otherwise someone might find a google match to previous posts, just as they did this time.

    Please make sure that the door doesn't hit you on the behind on your way out - and don't forget to delete these posts you haven't made again, leaving no trace of yourself. Oh, and could you turn off the lights?

    Just a personal question are you by any chance related to JorEl father to KalEl (Superman) ?

    Now you know it's because Peigi/Allwood said last night that she was leaving CAG because of all those "mad" posters - although I didn't think she really meant "annoyed" but maybe that's what she really did mean. ;)
    Just in case you are wondering - I can't speak for Jem, but I always use the same name on all boards I am a member of.

    Same here - although on some earlier joined forums I managed to do without the 16.
    Please make sure that the door doesn't hit you on the behind on your way out

    Heaven forbid! That would be another "disability" problem. :cool:

    I know it is not rocket science because I have done it and it appears the poster in question on the other site has been posting on that forum for some considerable time. Also if you have access to posters personal data then you will see that we are 2 completely different posters/people

    So you like to keep using the same name, so what, does it mean that all posters have to keep to the same name because you do. I would have thought that it would be unsafe on the net.

    Also, I do not know what you mean when you say ‘playing one off against another board’. Is this some sort of a new board game that you are referring to. Never heard of this game before can I download it.

    Unless you can prove what you have being saying about the other site in question then please retract the statement you have made about me, but there again it so ridiculous how anyone could believe it.

    Hello again peigi/Allwood.

    Just to add to what papasmurf has said, you weren't completely straight with us on CAG. You asked us a pretty obtuse question, as ever, [there are loads of them] and we asked you to put it into plain English. Rather than do that, you berated us for not understanding the question and the next day, posted an answer from here.

    The thing was, you hadn't asked the same question on MSE but you posted the answer in what seemed to be an effort to make us look silly for not understanding you. Now it seems you've deleted the MSE question so no-one can prove what you asked here. This is not honest.

    As I've said on your CAG thread, I've tried to help you many times over many months and like papasmurf, I feel very let down by your behaviour.

    My apologies to the OP for hijacking this thread. I hope you found an answer to your question.

    Obviously - first cousins. You have heard of Superwoman? :rotfl:And you didn't need to explain - I would have got it!
