To tell you the truth I drink very little. A glass of red of an evening is all I ask for. When I go out I might have a glass of wine or two, but seldom anything more. I enjoy myself more if I don't get tipsy, let alone pass out lol.

I totally agree BAT...i'll see what happens but if things dont improve then i'll go elsewhere as well because i'm sick of the posts of late the "how can I cheat the system" the "bankrupts are scum of the earth" the "how can I hide things from the OR" and the "you dont know what your talking about" and the classic "how can I avoid an IPA" posts.....sick to the teeth as well reporting posts ONLY to receive messages from abuse accusing me of starting the arguments...i've lost count the number of times abuse has "told me off".....just stupid...and i'm sick to the teeth of having to explain my actions to total strangers only to be insulted & told i've took the easy way out..

This place has changed since I joined 2yrs ago .... to me thought it seems for the worse lets hope i'm wrong

I find myself, as usual, in complete agreement with both you and BAT on this one, phil. As you may have noticed I have not been about much since the 'thread' on DT.
It certainly seems that 'trolling', in the form of 'BR knocking', has become the new 'sport' of those who really have nothing better to do than to try and exact some form of sadistic 'pleasure ' out of the misfortunes of others.
I hope, for their sakes, that they are blessed with the 'hindsight' that they so freely advocate to us. Without the actual experience of bankruptcy, and its effects, they are totally unqualified to 'sit in judgement' and should think very carefully before commenting on our situation.
I don't, however, think that leaving the boards completely is, necessarily, the best solution - the overwhelming majority of posters come here because they genuinely need the help, and support, that a board like this can truly give.
Much of this 'help and support' can only be given by the more experienced posters such as Fermi, BAT, Richard and yourself.
Withdrawing this 'avenue of help' could, in my opinion, leave vulnerable posters open to the vitriolic misinformation that these 'trolls' seem to delight in extolling and this would, inevitably, turn their already difficult experience into a true nightmare scenario - in short 'handing victory to the trolls'.
I have, myself, made a decision to limit my posting only to positive threads, such as this one, and to threads where I genuinely feel that my own advice or experiences can be of real benefit to the OP.
You are right, phil, the board does indeed appear to have 'changed' over the last couple of years, but it's really only the likes of us who can prevent it from degenerating into the anarchic chaos that the 'trolls' would love.
So stick with it lads (and lasses) - together we can be a force to reckon with.

Hi Rog.

Hope you are well. Agree as usual also.

This board is always moving along & as you know is dealing with very difficult subject matter. We keep plodding along you know....personally its more about the emotional rather than the actual debt stuff.

Debt can be sorted...dealing with the fall-out of emotions is infinately more difficult & a wrong word or comment can be devastating.

Oooops ...forgot the BUMP !!!:D

That sums it up very well So Sad Angel, and is the point the Trolls do not seem to be able to grasp, by the time those that need to go bankrupt reach the realisation of that fact, it no longer has nothing to do with debt, or money, its about survival, nothing more.
