    Hmm - 'making a show of oneself' - pot/kettle?

    Rather than quote an abusive post which has clearly greatly upset someone and give further oxygen to a bully, perhaps it would be fairer on the target of the post, just to report it to abuse?

    and you are proving that you can't agree to disagree instead you become abusive. You will be happy to know you reduced me to tears well done!


    I'm assuming this has to be drama because although it wasn't a polite post, I really can't see how it could reduce someone to tears.

    If you honestly burst into tears over something that trivial I think you're probably way too thin skinned for these boards ;)

    Because make me wise had no intention to wound and quite obviously intended princessdreamer to feel good about what she wrote :cool:

    I don't see it as being massively thin skinned to be upset by what was said to be honest. Most threads quite happily contain differing opinions, often expressed in quite forthright terms, without descending into personal abuse. You shouldn't have to have the hide of a rhino in a teflon overcoat to read them :D

    You really shouldn't let yourself get stressed by it. If you do get stressed by it then honestly you want to examine why you use the forum...nobody would choose a pass time that stresses them out so much they end up in tears.

    Just keep in mind that you're anonymous; nobody knows who you are and nobody knows what you're like as a person. Keep that in mind and you come to realise that any crud thrown your way is meaningless and irrelevant to your life. Once you get a handle on that you can let it flow like water off a duck's back :)

    Oh for gods sake you are a teacher you have no clue what you are talking about. Yet you continue to spout abuse cos you can hiding behind a keyboard I'm sure
    your head would be highly unimpressed by your behaviour as it is in your contract to not drag the school into disrepute and your actions on here breach that.

    sigh, no they don't. The poster who is a teacher has not posted anything about the school, and her opinions are her own, in her own time, she's not attempting to portray her opinions as the schools. So she's not at all dragging the school into disrepute.

    Hmmmm you seriously need to read back over some of your posts on this thread. Take a long hard look at yourself before you pick up other people on their actions. I dont know or care what you do for a living but if anyone risks disrepute, professional or personal, it is you. Not the poster you dont seem able to leave alone.

    If she was identified then yes they would, she has been very rude and very nasty just because she has a different viewpoint. She has been downright nasty saying I need help. Erm hello she does not know me or anything about me apart from I believe teenagers have rights and pushing them into doing something they do not want to or bad mouthing their mother will cause a lot of problems. It happens when families go to war rather that talk, when the courts get involved and in the end hate does come in.
    Is that any reason to call a person a pig, unstable, needing help and be so patronising with the smug love this and love this. I feel like I'm dealing with a child.

    Ok point them out then, point out where I have been abusive, called others names and such
