    Its true Mildred that not everyone gets on with everyone else and TBH when provoked the natural reaction is to sometime retaliate back at the perpetrator....I am sure you have done that in the past,I know I have

    But what has happened over time is that the elite have split from what it was even when I joined...it might be because peoples lives change and they evolve they glean what they require from the thread and move on,they dont contribute as much as previously or perhaps they just become involved in something that the greed of glitching takes over and the smaller stuff of the elite is suddenly not important to them.

    There are definite camps within the group now and its sad that we cant all group together and forget our differences,but I guess thats life.

    I have learnt so much more on many levels whilst I've been part of the group, some who post here have illness,issues,complexities,challenges they face daily that previously I've never known much about....as a result of reading their experiences I hope I am a more understanding person because of it.....there are I am sure people on the thread who wouldnt choose as natural friends....but its also wrong to insult or demean someone from behind the safety of a keyboard from whichever side you take aim.

  • I love the RL sharing that is the Elite.
    Whether it be sad, where support and empathy is given, or joy, where happiness, smiles and laughter can be shared.
    My wife was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when we met. I was too shy to make any approach. I kept thinking "after the next cocktail, after the next cocktail" after several nights of the same, she wrote her phone number on the parasol she put in my Pina Colada lol

    I've read some carp on here over the years but that is right up there.

    So does that mean when LS talks about her troubles she's depressing everyone else? Or when nanny says she had to go to hospital for a procedure is she depressing us? When bubbs talks about her sore arms she's depressing us or when the elite lurgy takes over and everyone is feeling rough they are being depressing? Or when someone comes on looking for support because some one they love is dealing with illness or had been hurt they are depressing us?

    The heart of this thread has always been the love and support that has always been offered up when someone is in a time of need. Think of when Mr 3Dogs passed away, or madmuppet. The amount that has been raised for charity in honour of our members who have suffered.

    This thread has been an actual lifeline to many members, when they have had no where else to turn. And I include myself in that. I am not a prolific poster by any means, I've never found a glitch or done anything that might be considered useful, but I've had support when I've needed it no questions asked.

    I'm really saddened by some of the stuff I've read on here recently. I count FC a very good friend and the personal attacks are totally out of order just because she dare have a different opinion to the masses and chooses to voice it.

    Good morning, I agree with you LFAB, the thread is and has been much more than shopping, for many years, if anyone wants to join in then they do so knowing that the thread will not change to suit them all posts are what makes it, if you want to skip ,fine, the posts about life's trials are what that poster is dealing with, at what could be a hard time in their life is , I feel , asking for a wee bit of moral support and that's what makes the elite special because it is always there for you.:A
