    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 promised I went back and found your post. I did read it as I recall but at the time I didn't think there was anything justifying a reply. Thats not because I didn't appreciate your post but there was nothing further to discuss. Sorry if you expected a reply. I am used to posting and discussing things on the financial forums where unless you make a very strong or usefull point nothing else is expected. These grabbit forums seem more like social networking sites and I think I have not just got used to a very different sort of etiquette and treading very carefully so as not to offend. They seem to be extremely touchy for no reason at all. At the risk of being sexist, no I won't go there.

    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.



    Artha, what makes you assume other posters are not passionate about such things? Why do you assumeance? such a superior stance?
  • sorry! "assume" obviously!!

  • artha, what I mean is why do you think other people don't also care about these things? Your post suggests they don't. ("stance" means attitude" by the way).
  • Evening everyone

    It's time to close this thread now but please remember not replying doesn't mean we're ignoring an issue. I've posted on several threads this week and we're aware of the poll.

    Thanks!
