I could've done the same too Hayley .....but like you, decided that a confidence is a confidence regardless of whether I'm still friendly with the person who divulged the info in the first place xx

Muffy I too have been accused of having an affair and laughted it off ,just shows the level of their minds, and one of the ones that has said has it has come on to or flirted with about every male who has ever posted on here...and then the scanner incident so laughable ... now if i really wanted to be nasty at the time of the flowers incident I could of really really been vile and put the cat amongts the pigeons but I still felt I was told inconfidenace and will that will die with me.. thats how I know I am the better person :)))

I won't get past that TW said so at the time......I'm afraid my time on here has served to make me more unforgiving. Got bitten TWICE by someone once and I'll never do that again.

The photos incident is one of the things that sticks in my mind also but worse than anything else was the public accusation that I was having an affair with a member on here !!!! The person that made the accusation had no idea at all whether or not that lie would cause problems in my marriage but decided to bandy it about to be spiteful regardless.

Luckily my OH and I are rock solid and it didn't cause the ructions the accuser had hoped for. BUT nasty snide LIES and personal insults intended to cause damage in real life are the limit for me I'm afraid.xx

I'm usually the first to say life's too short to harbour grudges, and I dont' usually do it, but that doesn't mean that I can't be wary of someone who has hurt me in the past.

As for the collective, well it's a bit difficult to forget that someone we thought a good friend can cause so much nastiness and mayhem across the www over a bunch of bleedy flowers. How do you 'move on' from that?

I dont have a problem anyone seeing my photo Carol none at all, what I objected too was the fact she wouldnt tell us which photo and allowed us to worry and carried on posting when we asked repeatedly which photos and where they had come from we knew at the time that a certain someone had lifted photos of others from FB, even thou she wasn't the one we are talking about now, baring in mind Muffy children are a lot younger than mine even thou the thought of people ridiculing my children for the fun of it fills me with anger , so to laugh at me and call me Miss Piggy as she has done since bothers me not a jot... because compered to some I am a bloody oilpainting even first thing in the morning lol x

I agree totally with Rose. I too have been bitten on here, and will not forgive the person that did, because to this day, I do not know why.
Joy, on your other thread, someone made a promise at 11.15. Made me laugh so much, I cried. Such damned hypocracy
Happy New Year

A new year & a clean slate.
Sounds good Joy, but it needs everyone to do that & as some of your replies show that is unlikely to happen.
Perhaps we should all try harder to read threads thoroughly before posting replies, many of the disagreements/hurts start when someone takes a split second glance at a thread title & then posts in a way that can be thought of as hostile.
If you have a problem with someone else’s views on life/religion/etc., why not stay away from their threads?
If someone posts, realizes that they are making a mistake so quickly deletes, why start a thread about it?
Not ALL the problems lie with the few people who always get blamed! For example, I know for a fact (having received copies ... & deleted from my pc) photos of meets were circulated by members who now join in blaming others.


Happy New Year To YOU ALL, may it be a good one, with better Health for ALL.

I would like to say to you all here and now it’s a new year and a new start, I won’t react to anything I wont argue I wont in my opinion defend someone when I think I have too. I wont insult any of you by saying that. I don’t enjoy rowing and I don’t often do so in real life. At times I don’t like what I can become, or even what I felt has had to be done to defend myself, but I will do it.

that's the thing Rose, it would have to be a two way thing, people would have to be perfect and not provoke each other, which I don't think is going to happen but it would be nice lol

Also, I don't think anyone could stand aside & let people be picked on just to avoid an argument with someone and I don't think people should.

LWH would YOU respond to someone calling your son a b**stard? of course it is up to you to acknowledge or otherwise someone who says that to you in real life or on a thread ...but personally I am not destined for sainthood. I fear.
