I think it may be the the right time

new year new beginnings
I dont mean we have to all be best of friends
some will never be that
but if we cant be best of friends

lets be best of enemies and wish each other well

and try to ignore the bad behaviour

HAPPY 2010 for us all

I think the bulk of us on here are reasonable human beings who would be quite happy to sign up for this. No worries.

However, and at the risk of being a depressing old moo, it will only take one or two people out for a laugh to bring it all crashing to its knees again ...

Sorry.

It would be good to look to the future, some people have already done this and get on quite amicably now which shows it can be done.

However, to be honest I cannot see this happening at present as I cannot see everyone adhering to this.

Lovely thought though xxxx

A New Year miracle? a complete change of personality for some? ( no pun intended there) ...

it won't happen ....and actually I don't think it should...why on earth should someone be 'forgiven' and treated like a nice person when they're not? sorry I know that's not in the spirit of the thread ( which is admirable and generous ) ...but I personally won't 'cosy up' with the kind of person who verbally abuses kids and ill people and say they are 'welcome here and I wish them the best'.

At very least i will not descend to that level of hypocrisy.

Happy New Year Hayley, Rose and everyone :)))

Rose, would it need people to cosy up to old enemies or could people just refrain from starting provocative threads and avoid each other's threads on a day to day basis?

(Not saying that you or anyone should by the way - just playing Devil's Advocate again lol)

Silly Sausage Report 1 Jan 2010 12:26

As a mother I hear every word Rose says that is the no level some people have sunk too, I cant forgive the personal intrusion in to my life and that of my family, I cant forgive someone who wants a sticky thread removing for someone who is dying just because they are jealous and I am tired with making excuses for they are unbalance yes they are so leave desent folk alone.

I'm with Hayley on this one.

I've accepted olive branches so many times now and nothing changed.

I won't rule out that ONE day something might give if the playing of the smallest violins in the world ceases and the endless snide comments here and elsewhere on the WWW stops........but as it stands now.......nope.

I do TRY to keep away though that's not always possible for a gobsh**e like me LOL xx

SRS "Rose, would it need people to cosy up to old enemies or could people just refrain from starting provocative threads and avoid each other's threads on a day to day basis?"

Of course, we could all avoid starting or responding to provocative threads...or if they are our own and have been 'turned' by a provocative comment . We could ignore every nasty comment someone makes against those more vulnerable than ourselves and say 'it is nothing to do with me'.
We could leave those who wish to be nasty to carry on without 'let or hindrance' lol...

avoiding someone like that in real life is easy...generally speaking they don't come into your space if you are not in theirs...on here they can....
