    I think it is me they are referring to :o

    I have posted a link to the post in question as I do not think I have lambasted anyone.

    I was none too happy at some of the things that were said in regards to my post, but neither do I think that I have lambasted anyone either.

    Hi again JMV

    Ok things are a bit clearer. Dojo does an amazing amount of work on the boards (bump and montly club) and I think as one of the people that has been around a lot of us always post the debt charities info as this really must be anyones first port of call.

    Things sometimes do get a bit misunderstood, but I can honestly say that Dojo is one of the nicest and most helpful and supportive people I know,

    So hey can we shake and all get on??

    yes please do shake hands and get on. Dojoman is one of the experts, that i advise will be along soon. Isnt that right Dojoman? :)

    The other thing is when you do go br the judge will ask if you have taken advice, so dojomans post is relevant, Have i got that right Dojoman? x

    Hi SLL, thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it, but the more I think about it, may be now is the time to bow out from the forum. If people are going to post emotive threads like this, then to be honest I don`t know whether its worth the trouble or not, I do not like being accused of anything especially if I have done nothing wrong, and having to defend myself in the process. Think I will sleep on it and decide in the morning.:(

    Dojoman,

    I hope you decide to stay.

    I know you put in a huge amount of time and effort in helping people.

    And I like so many others have greatly benefited from your advice.

    We do need yours and all the other expert help we can get.

    JMV i'll not echo what everybody else had said apart from dojo's one of the stars of the place along with many more who give their time for nothing, reccomending as sunny said various debt advice lines is one of the 1st things anyone will do including myself and i've been here a number of years now, I saw the post in question & bankruptcy is a pretty individual thing and I do feel very uncomfy when someone asks about their experiance...and cant understand why the same didnt happen to them

    as you know feelings can run very high as this is a pretty difficult board to be involved in...

    thats the last i'll say

    Dojo as everyones said your one of the main stalwarts here..we're part of the fixtures and fittings us lot!

    the place would be a bad place without you, the knowledge you learned over time here has been second to none and I applaud you for that....I will say please reconsider whats happened you more than anyone else should know the number of times we have to defend ourselves here,,,but at the end of the day its your decision I just hope its not the wrong one
