    It is PRECISELY because I have been through sexual harassment MANY YEARS ago that I can empathise somewhat with what Gwen went through.

    Although in that case I didn't *get off* with the man who groped me, nor indulged in mutual sexually implicit emails with him. I reported both men in different companies almost immediately and got good results.

    This is a forum where people express views. My own way of expressing the views of my potential CLIENTS would be far more professional.

    Gwen in this case has got herself unstuck, like many other dubious posts here.
    You wrote earlier that you got the sack. So, you'll forgive us if we take everything you say with a bucket load of salt.

    I've quite happily indulged in a little email flirting in my time, I certainly wouldn't expect that to mean I should put up with someone flashing at me in the office.

    She clearly told him after he got married that it wasn't appropriate to email her things like that. So, after her saying that he decides that flashing is more appropriate? and also, according to you, because she had a snog 2 years earlier, she was 'asking for it'.

    Get real love!

    You're a poor example of a so called professional. (In training though I might add).

    I bet you go around telling people you are a solicitor too.. sad sad person.
    She's already implied that on here.

    I shouldn't, but this is really getting to me.

    MissD has logged off and is presumably now on her commute home. She mentioned talking about this case at lunchtime with a solicitor so it is safe to assume she was at work today.

    I spent 30 years working for professional partnerships, including solicitors, I cannot believe that she is able to post on MSE if she is a professional on chargeable time - you just cannot do it!

    MissD, which poor client got time dumped on them and gets to pay for your services while you were entertaining yourself on here?

    gwen,

    I'm so sorry that you have had to go through such an unbelieveable experience. I am also very sorry that this horrible experience has been compounded by downright nasty posters. I can only assume that she knows the male concerned, as I can't think of any other reason why she would be so vitriolic. It certainly seems to go beyond merely disagreeing with your situation. Tbh I wondered if it was the man in question as the join date is so recent.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Well observed whitewing. That possibility had crossed my mind too.

    There is one great paradoxical issue with that. She is not a solicitor. She is a secretary. :D
