    That type of abuse is never called for, now matter what the board is 'for'.

    and no matter what the situation.

    Agree, with most of what you say.

    However, it does not justify the type of abuse I saw yesterday. It doesnt bother me, but it does bother me when I'm told I'm the one who's doing the abusing, when clearly, as stated by many, is very untrue.

    To be told I'm the one who's so interested in peoples lives, when all I'm getting is interagation and being told they hope I fail into mine.

    That type of abuse is never called for, now matter what the board is 'for'.

    I 100% agree with you - it is a shame that anyone has to stoop to any kind of abuse. I also agree that it's never called for. However, I've also seen less that kind posts from you, I admit only once you felt abused and slighted and to a far lesser extent than some posters. So, even you are susceptible to getting angry and upset about what's basically someone on a message board being rude to you, how would it feel if it seemed someone on a message board was being rude to you about something that was raw and painful already?

    I don't say it's justified but I do try and be a little bit understanding about the kind of desperate emotions flying around.

    As an aside I believe Lou was a very poor example of someone who finds it 'easy' to go bankrupt and frankly I don't see why someone who found it 'easy' would post here anyway. If it means so little to them why would they post in the first place, it would be water of a ducks back (rather than straws and camels :p)

    Broken hearted,

    That's pillow talk, and I thought I could trust you.;) ;)

    Nobody is like me, or you; we're all God's individual little creations; he tooks a little more care and thought with some of us, as has been more than proven over the last couple of days.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Hi Sou,

    Please do tell; this guy (as far as I can establish) has been a real pain. He's chosen easy targets and revelled in their discomfort. Please save me the time of struggling through his semi-literate and contradictory posts, and let me know what's troubling him.

    He's obviously got a problem, but I'm not quite sure what; do the site a favour and let us know.:D :D
