CSARINA - didn't manage to catch up on the thread yesterday evening but just want to say, PLEASE don't go. PLEASE don't let one person stop you joining us - we all love your posts.

Above all please remember this: For one nasty git, there are a hundred lovely peeps in here. Do stay.
Far more than a hundred lovely peeps. I hope that you have been able to put this PM aside now and will be posting again imminently!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Oh crikey, I haven't posted on OS for ages (please forgive me:o) but I do still read it regularly. Please don't give the bully the satisfaction of seeing you go csarina, you post so much sensibleness & common sense that Old Stlye needs you:T. If these people with their intolerences & narrow-mindedness drive others away we will be left with a board which is a mere shell of the board which produced Thrify ways for Modern Days & has turned a (near!) nation into domestic gods & goddessess. Please come back soon:APost Natal Depression is the worst part of giving birth:p

Csarina - I haven't posted for ages now as I just don't have the time to read everyday, but I do catch up with everything every so often. Don't let this person stop you posting. They are a coward and a bully. I have to say I am completely shocked by how many people have also said they have received these sort of PMs!
Take care.

I too am shocked that so many people are receiving nasty PMs. I have been on here a while, and have only ever found friendly, lovely people who are willing to help with whatever problem I have :A
It would be so sad if csarina leaves because of one nasty comment, there really are hundreds of lovely people on here which totally outweigh the few nasty ones.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0 -
I am signing off from MSE, I have recieved an extremely nasty PM from someone who took exception to something I had posted. It upset me a great deal.
Jackie I am sorry to read your news, keep positive, you will come out the otherside.
Bye everyone.
((((((((csarina)))))))
I know that sort of stuff hurts, I think most of us have had, or will have, a nasty PM at some time or another, but Hun, try to remember that the PM came from one cowardly person, I say cowardly because it was a PM attack and not a public one, which could have been examined and commented on by us all.
There are hundreds and hundreds of really nice people on MSE and a few tormented/ill souls who express themselves by being abusive to others, it's a part of online life that is unpleasant but happens.
That was a PM from one person, just one. Put that on one side of the scales and the support and concern you are receiving on the other. Weight the pain that PM caused you against the fun and support you find here.
If you go hun, cowards like the one who PM'd you win, the nice people go and all that is left are the sad souls who don't have the sense to realise what they are destroying.
Once you've had a few days to recover, have a think about how nice it is that however bad your own problems you, like the majority of people on here, are blessed with the humanity to care. that you don't have to be vicious to others to give your own life meaning.
Whoever sent that PM is a sad unfortunate soul trying to feed off the unhappiness of others. I pity them, but I'd like to see them starved.
Please stay Hun.

Please report them, put them on "ignore" and come back here with your head held high!
You have done nothing wrong and we all enjoy your posts.
I had the most helpful and supportive p.m.s sent to me last year when my dad had terminal leukaemia and I hate to think of p.m.s being anything other than supportive.
Big hug and lots of sympathy for your nasty experience."This site is addictive!"

I don't reply as on this forum often as I once did. (have had personal problems)
But please dont leave the forum because of one small minded person because for one if you do leave that means they have won!!
After all think of it this way they have wasted their time sending the PM not yours.
I'd be hasten to add at this point though personly I would leave the PM private and report it.
Hope you decide to stay.!
