    I am actually really livid by this. Don't you treat me for a fool. I was on this thread watching go out live.

    In the space of 20 minutes you went back time and time again and added things. You did not just add the last sentence. How dare you question my integrity, how dare you suggest I am a liar.

    I will not fall out online over people's opinions, over people's attitudes, their beliefs or their out look in life or even their behaviour... heck life is too short - but I will fall out over people telling bare face lies about what I have said. You ought to be very, very ashamed of yourself tonight.


    I haven't said that you did not say what you have nor have I changed anything that you said, I have said the fault was the way I wrote my post which gave a wrong impression...I am not questioning your integrity, no one could...

    You wrote something, you backtracked, you got caught out, you changed things and even now you've altered the piece that I got so upset about... even now popperwell.

    You've changed so much that people can't see why I am so upset. They can't see the original things. To people reading the thread now it looks like I've made a huge drama over nothing.

    You suggested that I was a liar... and now changed that too.

    What you wrote about the doctor or how I interpreted has nothing to do with why I'm so upset popperwell and you know it. You know fine well why I'm upset and you know fine well that nobody will be able to see it.

    So please don't act all innocent. I'm actually really hurt that you could treat me for a fool and act that way.

    I cannot see anything that makes you look a liar, you just come across as you always do and you are a valued and well liked person.

    I hope this can be put behind us...I am really sad:( i was feeling reasonably happy and positive, apart from being tired and cold from going to the fireworks display that is probably why my post was written badly. I have spotted an error in another post but I will leave it as I will never dare edit anything in the future again and I fear I will be ignored and seen in a bad light, you won't be Fuddle you have too many friends...besides this time it is just a spelling mistake.

    I thought I had turned a corner and I was happy to see things seemingly going better for you to...what is likely to happen is people will stop speaking to me.

    And I have been saying how much I enjoy being here. I can only say one more time nothing you have said has been altered nor do you look stupid and again I said that I had missed out a few very important words. And I even left the post with the mistake there for all to see and it is still there...unedited.

    I am now paranoid as I have spotted another error in my last post but I dare not correct it in case it looks suspicious...so it's me who has the worry over all this...

    A poster on another thread said something very wise...we are at a disadvantage sometimes when chatting on a forum because we cannot see the expression on a face and the tone of the voice. If I had been in your company in "Real Life" all would probably be well and we would still be friends...

    You can't see anything that makes me look like a liar and neither can anyone else because it's been changed. That's the point.

    I'm not sure what I can say other than I'm cross but the title of this thread is important and times are tough for both of us, for different reasons. I couldn't bare the thought of you being driven away from here. You need it it as much as I do.

    I feel like I've been wronged, yes. But it's just the internet and as the hours are passing by I'm calming down and it just doesn't seem important anymore.

    I will be wary of what you say to you in future though. I do feel like I've been burned.

    I don't want for anybody to ignore you. I can't say i'll be all pally pally for a while but I certainly won't ignore you.

    Popperwell, I'm a bankrupt. Being a bankrupt strips away your integrity. You look at me, you look at my personality - oh, I can't explain it. I'm so quiet. I'm so upstanding, so honest. I am a good person but the label I have, and will have for life, suggests that I'm a good for nothing cheat. I'm very sensitive to that so I've reacted to the real threat of my good name been in jeopardy. I can't apologise for it though popperwell. I feel my outburst has been just tonight.

    Truce?

    I better apologise to everyone else just in case they are upset by this...I can't seem to do good for the want of trying...I will be sent to Coventry as the saying goes...

    No you won't. The people on here are good people. They're not going to ignore just because of a spat we've had.

    It was worse the last time and you're still here talking away and interacting.

    It's only ever us popperwell, only ever us. Says something for County Durham folk huh? ;)

    I fully support you in all that you do...I don't judge you in anyway and i don't see anything in your concerns about having been bankrupt, that is a deep seated concern(I understand why)and I hope that can be let go of in time. All I see is someone turning her and her family's life(Your loved one's)around as everyone on here is doing and surviving hard times in many different ways and the only way they can.

    I am going to agree with you again...I did backtrack and admitted doing so because my post was written badly, you know what, I probably would have thought the same as you did and you allowed me to put right the error I had made, so you helped me. So I am unsure why we had this spat...

    I am all for a truce, as far as I am concerned it never happened and I don't hold grudges against anyone. I have forgotten the last few hours.

    Think I better keep off that edit button it causes too many problems...

    My laptop is sensitive and I have lost posts or seen one appear and I am in the middle of what I writing...it might be policy for me to write in something like notepad...correct what I write, then cut and paste to avoid this, though that is a long way around and delays things.

    Been looking at your post again, hopefully you will not wear the badge of bankruptsy for life. And you will be stronger for the experience and...more importantly even if it hard to let go remember in time it becomes a spent force(That's not the right word but hopefully you know what I mean)and you no longer have to mention it to anyone.

    You won't be the first or the last. Like you I am so quiet and like a peaceful life and I know where my values are...
