    If you read dmg24s' post on this thread it goes a long way to explain her/his behaviour, their posts are rattled off like machine gun fire and upset a lot of people. I'm really not sure what the answer is though...

    Sure it does explain things, although my dh has very severe bpd and was also diagnosed with bipolar at first and doesnt go around trolling. Sorry to sound unsypathetic, but when you live with someone that has mental health conditions of this ilk you soon learn that it helps nobody when you excuse their behaviour, its only been 18 months since my hubby was first diagnosed and obviously we were living with this for quite sometime before. So although i appreciate how hard things maybe for him her, ive found out the hard way that for dh and myself treating him with respect yes but no nonsense works best. At first i was very cautious about pulling him up on his bad behaviour and excused so much of it and basically it made my life hell. So for us, its very much tough love !
    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (A.C)

    I agree, and it is particularly concerning when she/he verbally assaults vulnerable people on the benefits or jobs forums. Allegedly she (I think it's a she) works in a job centre which does not bear thinking about.

    That's no excuse to be unfair, harsh and rude to people though is it?

    And it's not on the odd bad day or so, it's constant picking at people for no reason at all other than something dmg has a problem with.

    It's normally a rude response to an OP of a thread, where the response will have nothing at all to do with the subject at all as we've seen on this thread.

    It doesn't serve any purpose, it just winds people up and what's the point in that as I don't think it makes dmg feel any better?

    Not fussy on the Radley bag, think it's ridiculously overpriced for what looks like a thin cheap thing - although I wouldn't be rude about it, it's a good Grabbit for a present for someone who is Radley obsessed.

    I really do like the Orla Kiely bags though, they look nice and strong.
    If anyone is after a "designer" bag for life type thing check out the Orla Kiely ones at Tesco. They are £4, look fab and are great quality.

    I also just got a really nice one jute in TK Maxx for £2 or £3 that's really strong, has padded handles that you can fit over your shoulder and is big enough to carry files too! I can't find a pic but they are natural/jute colour with a pretty peach coloured pattern of a tree or something, and are by the tills.

    I have one of those and keep coat hangers in it :)

    Does anyone know if you can still get the Orla Kiely shoppers from Tescos? Thanks
  • BPD doesn't excuse rudeness, prehaps is the person can't be nice and keep to the spirit of helping others they really should be banned!
