    Very Very irresposible, I think someone needs a slap

    Wok boy, every couple of months or so someone will come and have a nasty comment. Sometimes it's just the one off like this comment and other times it's a full blown rant at us. We went through a period a while back where every weekend we were dealing with some pretty viscious trolls and it was getting really nasty round here but it seems to have settled down to the odd comment now and again now, thank goodness.

    It's easy to say that bankruptcy is the easy way out (it's not, by the way), but you shouldn't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes.


    Absolutely! But then again, if you judge them harshly, you're a mile away and you've got their shoes!! :rotfl:

    ONLY JOKING!!!

    I totally agree ... unless you've been what someone has been through you are in no position to offer anything except perhaps advice and/or support. I always agree with the old saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"...

    Just fed up of narrow minded people who still think were living in the 20th century and haven't woken up and smelt the coffee.

    Like Tigerfeet, I think the board has really calmed down recently.

    People will always made the odd comment that is out of turn; people are so diverse its almost unreasonable to think everyone will agree with others life choices. As long as you are happy with the decisions you've made, sod what anyone else thinks!

    I know from our point of view our decision for OH to go bankrupt is the last resort and has come after several years of trying every way imaginable to solve our problems ourselves (we have been so bogged down day in and day out with trying to juggle everything that we haven't had the energy left to enjoy the kids and we have cut everything down to a bare minimum and missed out on things many people take for granted like regular haircuts, birthday parties, outings in the school hols, even trips to the local town etc).
    We love what we are doing and we love why we're doing it!!

    Just one more thing to lighten up what I said a little. Can we all refer to bankruptcy as BR not BK, were not going to Burger King!!! :D
