    anyways, enough of the doom & gloom, we should be enjoying ourselves in the inn :eek:
    i'll keep playing around with the options blu & see what happens, meanwhile we're missing out entering comps :eek:

    let's have a drink & onwards & upwards :beer:

    Cheers and HIC! :D
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!

    More than anything, I get from you that you've had enough and just want to be left in peace. Hard for me, cos I want to go and fight 'em all - you know what I'm like by now :D

    I think it's vital to play it your way, at least until/unless you feel ready to come back fighting. If you do, let me know. I was thinking that the way I would deal with this if it happened to me, which I'm sure it will sometime, is that I would post all the nasty messages on Comping Chat Corner so that the bullies/trolls/cowards will get to see what everyone thinks of them. But that's me, and that's also me from the outside. Perhaps it would be different if it happened to me.

    Meanwhile, just be who you are. You are very supported here, and don't let a few nasties ruin that. I'll sign off now and leave you in peace. You know where I am hun...

    thanks blu :A xxx

    hiya, i'd pm'd chrissie before turning off my pm's as wanted to check she was ok & me posting the tab in her absence as she'd been offline, we'd always helped/pm'd each other before & then chrissie came online but didn't pm me back so i assumed she didn't want to :( then when i posted the first tab in chrissie's absence i had pm's one after the other from the ae trolls :( so i disabled the pm option,
    reading through todays postings it seems a lot of us have been targeted by them, i also used to get them ages ago when posting the mag comps before, so i assume it's someone/s who doesn't like me posting them :( they also use the words 'get a life' etc & each time it's a different name/newbie which we know must be an old member/s using ae's,
    there's a lot of things that happen but i don't want any more to do with having to worry any more with receiving horrible pm's, i'd just like to get on enjoying entering comps, sometimes posting comps & joining in the inn, lol cats & the boards i enjoy,
    if chrissie is back & in touch with you & wishes to resume the tabs i'm realy grateful as was just trying not to let anyone miss out entering them while we didn't know what was happening with her, please if you're in touch with her tell her i'm very happy to leave them for her to do :)


    Sorry to read this FF.

    I haven't had much time to comp recently with starting back to work but I've spent some time today on the boards and I can't believe what has been happening to some of the established users regarding PM's.

    Quite disheartening to read such 'in house' nastiness that seems to be quite frequent on the boards.

    Don't let it get to you and I hope you can continue to enjoy comping and thank you for stepping up to post in Chrissie's absence xx

    Thanks FF - would rather have white though! :rotfl:

    I'm with Blulu - want to fight bullies! I was bullied as a kid so now I won't stand any nonsense from anyone! My DD can get the biggest bully in tears with her tongue which I am so proud of but left alone we are so placid!

    Have just booked a freebie night at Hol Inn Washington tomorrow so will need to get packed - yeah!

    Did send a PM to tttjay earlier is a shame we don't have an eff off smiley for some of the people that seem to be frequenting the forum last few weeks.
    On a more positive note am delighted the boards are back to normal & hope everyone is being lucky xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
