    I made a joke about a post that could have been taken to read that only parents with 330,000 children would be affected by the cuts. Do you think it's normal that people have so over-reacted on here?

    I think the subject of tax credits being cut for millions of families is no laughing matter but yes I think people have over reacted - mainly the fact of the amount of abuse people have received from other members. Nobody knows peoples circumstances so why pass judgement. Lets just all agree to disagree and the chill out :T

    With this incarnation, yes.

    So you're an AE. Now let me guess, hmmm...

    Doubt you'll last long in this incarnation as you are being open about having re-registered.

    Presumably you were PPR'd?
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Nope forgot the password. And no longer have access to the email, due to it being a university one.


    Next question, Columbo?

    You went to university? :eek:

    So if it's as simple as that, why not just say who you used to be on here?

    Banned as JustOnce for some very nasty bullying that caused a regular to leave the forum, although the ban seems to have been removed now. There was another name as well but it escapes me ...

    Nasty bullying? I PM'd someone to ask why they thought it was acceptable to make nasty assertions about my career when asking for help (telling me to move at the other end of the country to take a job paying less than 25k a year if I remember, despite another position coming up (which I'm doing now) paying almost an extra third more than that - but my question was to ask if I could be made to move by the job centre, this individual decided to go on an anti-benefit rant, plus bringing into the conversation my qualifications). No idea why the nonsense should only be able to flow one way...

    Of course, you're one of the forum trolls who regularly hounds new posters.

    The bullying was on the open forum for all to see, and a well liked poster left as a result of your actions. Your posts, in your previous and current guises, speak for themselves.

    And I once politely PM'd you to ask what your problem is, and instead of doing the manly thing and replying like an adult, you turned off messages and continued attacking and harassing people with your helpful-but-really-passive-aggressive style, because you are a coward.

    I've never had PMs turned on so it certainly wasn't me you messaged.

    :rotfl: I remember that poster ! :rotfl:
  • Also I'm not a newcomer, frendo. Although nice - you try to pull the "I'm an established member" card on an internet forum. You must have a fantastic existence in the real world, if that's the kind of straw you feel the need to clutch at.

    First, you're not a newcomer and then you are a newcomer. So which are you?

    I think I know what you are!

    This is the second time you've posted this, so I clearly left an impression. :D


    :D I remember you wanted the DWP to pay for a new suit.
