    I will take arthas advice and try not and read tone in your post, but thats actually quite upset me, quite unnecessary. :(
    Sorry, I'll ask no more questions and give no more opinions, both of mine are obviously not worthy of being read.

    Please don't give up. Everyones opinions should be heard. It's just unfortunate that people read things into posts that are never meant. As I've said before, and it is a well recognised limitation of forums, read the message but don't make assumptions about who is posting and why. I have never ever deliberatley insulted anyone, called them names or made any comments about their lifestyle or sexuality.

    I have seen others do this on the grabbit forums and inexplicably seen people leave thanks for these posts:eek:. I normally inhabit the forums that are higher up the order in terms of money saving and to some extent well thought through posts . It is there that thanks are hard earned. On these threads I find that thanks are thrown about like confetti.

    I have been posting a lot but the reason is that I'm laid up at the moment and chair bound. I can only watch TV or take part in discussions on my favourite site. Apologies if its too much but daytime TV is so boring

    Artha, a couple of days ago, I replied to one of your posts on the Tesco 11+ thread, welcoming you to the thread and inviting you to join in, which you chose to ignore. I had hoped that you would join us and become a useful, polite forum member and that your previous troublemaking comments would be forgotten. However, you continue to post comments which upset or anger other users. It seems to me that you are using ths forum to inject some excitement into your life which you have already informed us is very boring at the moment.

    Once again, I suggest that you join in constructively and stop trying to wind up others. Thanks.

    As I've posted to others and not yet had any replies, which speaks volumes, will you please give me an example of troublemaking. Until I get a reply i cannot accept your comments. I am very happy to be notified of this. Please also note that abusing people without evidence is against the rules of the forum and a number of people are digging themselves into rather large holes by making accusations without presenting any evidence. Some of those people have also had what I see as a reprimand from MSE

    If you check my posts you will see that I have replied to many people with constructive info although it is mainly on much higher level threads than grabbits and unless you are into savings and investments etc you may not appreciate . I do take part in some very heated adult debates on various controversial subjects but came back over here for some light relief only to find that using the wrong word or a slight inflection sets people off on a rant.

    I really can't believe it. It's so much worse than people who are discussing really important issues of the day such as Pensions, Goverment, Social Benefits etc. At the end of the day it's just about going shopping.

    I wish people would get more passionate about the state of the economy, politics and world famine rather than whether someone has deprived them of a bit of cheap pork mince by moving a thread. How shallow can people get? There are people dying because they have no food at all. Just think about that and complain

    I'm sorry I didn't see your post. I've also posted many things that I've not had any reply to so I wouldn't worry about it.I'll look for it when I get the time.
