    Just to point out didnt mean anything bad when posting about Susan Boyle. I for one hope Cowell and co help her out in her time of need.

    Was just a phrase that has been popping up here, there and everywhere, and I thought it suited tonights situation.

    Just to clear that up, dont want to get banned or owt!! :)

    Think those of us who knew who SuBo was understood exactly Elfie. I didn't watch the final, infact not really any of it - I just learn about it from the paper.

    I agree with you though, Cowell and Co do need to help her.

    I think it shows how the pressures can take their toll on everyday folk when put in the spotlight . Its bad enough in everyday life.

    I wish her a speedy recovery.

    And again on DFW:
    Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.

    Beyond redemption, beyond anything, entering new territory previously uncharted. Only one thing stops me from posting the names, the address of the people who put me in this very dark place ... or I would do so. It's all wrong. Should be the other way round.

    Still, at least it can't go on much longer like this. Can't finish myself off properly no matter what (tried it last year for the first time, took enough to do it, but no ... couldn't even get that part of things right, so will have to wait until nature does it for me. Whatever happens to me, I don't care. I have no place in this world, not anywhere. Whatever. I belong nowhere. Maybe whatever comes next in the course of time I may remember that doing the correct things in life are the wrong things and doing the opposite gets you treated more fairly, more respected. No idea.

    Like I said, I am seconds away from posting the !!!!!!!s names who brought me to self destruction in this way every day of life since, for the torment they have left within me like this.

    But they live in a small village south of Ashford, Kent.

    Hi Everyone,

    Not sure if we have this thread over here on BR board but DFW bump this often so that newcomers new & old are aware of the possibility of `troll` issues.

    They `bump` it along regularly to keep it in peoples minds. Perhaps it would work over here?

    Pania`s words are so brilliant I could`nt better them myself so I copied as below.

    Notice to newcomers re trolls.
    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P

    Mid to late afternoon 'bump' ;)
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
