    I dodn't believe I should need to do this as I feel my first post made it clear how I feel about abusine PM's but just to clarify, PM's should never be used for anything other than what would be welcomed by the recipiant. Anything have to say I will say in an open forum.



    PM's are way way out of order but you need to look at yourself too. I am generally an level headed intelligent person (who can't always spell) but you irratated the hell out of me yesterday!!



    He understood it mate ! but chose to ignore it .

    Yeah, I know but I don't understand why. Seems a strange forum to be honest. Newcomers are not welcomed by some and treated with an inordinate amount of suspicion.

    Perhaps there is more going on than I understand, there seems to be trolls about (but aren't they on every forum?) and regulars are getting upset with PM's from these people. Perhaps a little of closing of the ranks is what is happening, I dunno really.
  • I actually enjoyed reading this post, stick around big boy.

    Heh, you must know me. I do have a slight (or not so slight) weight problem, part of the reason I became a Window cleaner, some exercise to get that under control.
  • Says you.
    I've had posts on here removed. Get over it or go somewhere else.

    I have got over it. I was showing the light to another contributor who had commented on it. As for going somewhere else, who died and made you king? You and your ilk are the problem with forums like this, good luck when newcomers dry up and all you are left with is yourselves to talk to, or is that what you want really?

    I'm not gonna "hug" you or anything, but the internet is not real, so dust yourself down have a fair few glasses/bottles of wine and ignore them, in fact just laugh at anything you receive, don't respond or retalliate, they'll get bored eventually and start on someone else.

    unfortunately though, you have shown that you get wound up/distressed easily, so now they know you're an easy target.

    and for the record the mods on here could quite easily ban the ip address and all their aliases in one foul swoop, but it seems the mods haven't got the ability/capacity to do that for some reason.

    ps another reason why i don't ever ever ever meet up with internet geekoids is you really don't know who they are.

    pps but saying all that, if their threatening you to do something on the "meet" make sure you get a cab home or whatever, cos you really don't know what kind of stalker/psycho freaks frequent this place.

    CB1979 has some very good points here and I think that by posting a thread like this could encourage those responsible to continue if they feel they have hit a nerve. I think we all have to remember that its the internet and not face to face and people may feel they can say/do unpleasant things that they wouldn't in a 'real' environment. Still they can't get your phone number, address etc and you can put them on your ignore list too.

    Lets hope it can be left behind - onwards and upwards

    DoozerG,
    Sorry to hear you've been upset by some @rsehole with rocking horse !!!!!! for brains -
    but I saw this and thought of you:

    When you're down and troubled
    And you need some loving care
    And nothing, nothing is going right
    Close your eyes and think of me
    And soon I will be there
    To brighten up even your darkest night

    [Chorus]
    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come running to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there
    You've got a friend

    If the sky above you
    Grows dark and full of clouds
    And that old north wind begins to blow
    Keep your head together
    And call my name out loud
    Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

    [Chorus]
    You just call out my name ... etc

    Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
    When people can be so cold
    They'll hurt you, and desert you
    And take your soul if you let them
    Oh, but don't you let them

    [Chorus]
    You just call out my name ... etc

    And what they said - delete, use ignore list, name and shame, report for abuse and remember the the old motto -
    Nil Carbarundum Illegitemia!

    A house isn't a home without a cat.
    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    There are some sad gits around, they probably dont have ANY opinions in the "real" world, no- personality types who suddenly get brave under internet-cover.

    That's no way to talk about me! ;)

    Seriously though, hope you got some sense out of the Abuse team and the responsible person had their account closed. No one should have to suffer harassment or personal abuse on this site, no matter how outlandish their opinions. (I have a vested interest in that last bit).
