    I agree with you. The OP has only been on here a short while and has already been pretty inflammatory on some of her other posts so attention seeker is exactly what I am thinking as well (and I am always ready to give newbies a fair go, this one pushes her luck though!)

    Hhmmm!:( I agree, that's very suspicious behaviour, especially as she' a Newbie.

    You cheeky bunch of profiler's, you!! Go on! You've been trained by the FBI? Yeah! Langley, Virginia??

    Maybe we should just write her off while we're ahead:rotfl:and then we can all get back to what we're familiar with.

    Increasingly, it appears not. Someone always comes out of the woodwork sooner or later to doubt threads these days. And someone else then takes it further off topic by agreeing (as has already happened on this thread).

    If this thread helps the OP, I'm pleased.

    If it helps others in a similar position, I'm pleased.

    If it causes you to be suspicious, I frankly don't care. This is a forum for helping people.

    I think it has already been said, everyone is entitled to have their say. I would however say that the OP has been distinctly unhelpful and aggressive to other posters on other threads so perhaps you reap what you sow!

    Ironically, because of this kind of negative reaction that you talk of on this forum, and the "you're actually not so welcome here" crowd - it often makes the original poster Stronger.:)

    Not so. I always try to be nice to Newbies and adhere to the rules of the forum. However, it works both ways, that's all i'm saying:;:D

    I'm in agreement with you. Certain posts end up becoming very nasty. It's Pitiful!

    I do care though if I spend time reading a thread which someone with nothing better to do has thought up.

    I am not saying the OP necessarily falls into that camp, but if others have doubts they are just as entitled to post about them as others are to post their support.

    Sometimes, quite often actually, you get a feeling that all is not as it appears. You can ignore it and read another thread, or you can voice your concerns....some people do one thing, some do the other, neither is right or wrong.

    I would love it if this is a troll/drama llama & the poor neices don't exist. Must admit I am really surprised how quick "the social" got round there.
    Booo!!!
  • That's not right ... let her off this one time but tell her what you think. Then if she does it again you know what to do!

    I am certainly not "running out of steam" I'm just upset and down, If my "2 line bumper posts" really do bother you then I am sorry. I am sorry for asking for advice on here. Maybe I was wrong too? Maybe I thought there were some good souls on here who don't know me from anybody on the street could give me an insight. I guess I was wrong.

    If you don't want me to post just say, Say "Just log off and never come back" and I will. I have learnt alot from this, That there are some kind souls out there, but equally some nasty ones.

    Thank you to the people who cared.
