Claire, hi, i have to admit to having similar feelings t times, but i think mosto you at boarders have at some point. I am asstounded by some of the comments made on here,'whinging' etc, lets just hope those posters don't have a bad day and call on the boards for support, i'm afraid i for one would have difficulty showing them sympathy if they cannot have any respect for a fellow members feelings. xxIzzyxx

Claire, you probably realise by now that there are a lot of us - me included - that join in threads, and don't get a reply or acknowledgment. But that's all part and parcel of it. Since I joined GR, I've been a 'thread-killer' many times, without meaning to be. It happens! The trick is not to take it personally. As has been said many times on this thread, the majority of members here are caring people. Even Rebekah said that, lol (and I don't think Rebekah meant to sound harsh). Anyway, chin up girl! x

Afternoon Claire, not ignoring, just not on the boards for a while today, if at all. Probably be some stupid hour in the morning before I get on again and everyone else will be asleep! Depends if OH is throwing a 'Paul' today(see his Yoohoo thread!) lol Catch ya later....... Nanna-M :))

Claire, this sort of thread crops up every so often and the responses are prettty much the same too! There are many people who do not respond to me on a thread but it bothers me not at all, as for the most part, people on here are kind and funny and welcoming. In fact it bothers me so little I think I would be quite happy talking to myself on a thread and answering back as well! So don't get stressed, just keep on keeping on. BC XX

Hi Claire ! Like you I sometimes get ignored but I think that when there are a lot of people on a thread it is difficult to answer all of them,so I just move on and try a different one.I dont think people are being nasty,just not noticing everyones postings.Cheer up love,keep posting,you'll get there. XXX

Thankyou Claire After reading this thread I know have the song floating a round my head.............I'n in with the In crowd I go where the in crowd go.........................lol......... Hayley

Hi Claire, glad you are ok, ta for PM, I'm one of the peeps who cant get on too much and sometimes feel I'm missing out on stuff. The comment from Rebekah was so very nasty and bitter I'm glad you rose above it, we are all allowed a whinge! cazxxxxxxxx

Hi Claire, Hope you feeling better today. Ignore Rebekah, must admit I wasn't the slightest bit impressed with her comment. Speak soon, Paul.

I want to thanks all my lovely friends on here for their messages and virtual hugs , Fred,,i knew you would never ignore me...Hows it going in the Lane,,?

Welcome Claire.................where's this ,in crowd, I what to meet them........ Hayley

Oh dear, I am sorry you are feeling left out. I was out all day yesterday, and quickly did a little ''surfing'' late last night, and just have time to post a little now before I go off site again. I am not aware of any ''in crowds''. I think that we have spoken before but, if not ... hello ... :-) By the way, I often kill threads ... including my own! ... :-) Joy

Awwww Claire ,iv'e been off line for about a week and missed everything,but let me say ,i ingnore no one from Linc's ,one of my homely counties with many memories ,all good ,loves ya loads .Fred.xxxx

Hello Claire, just seen this thread not read through it but just wanted to say i have never met anyone from the boards yet,i hope to one of these days. We get to know one another through time, i had a lot of help from people when i had to move, something i will never forget, and they didn't know me personally. I also get a lot of nice things sent to my Homeless folk from a few people off this board. Give it time and keep posting and you will soon feel part of things as you will get to know who is who, i still have a job remembering everyone. lol. If you want to find out a bit about read my Who are you all, thread most people from the board are on there. Have a lovely weekend. Shirley Ann.

Hi Claire, I'm sorry you felt like this last night. You aren't the first person to feel this way as you've seen from the replies. It is something that is mentioned from time to time but I'm not sure who the in crowd is meant to be. There are various groups of friends so maybe, to some, there appear to be several in crowds. I don't think there are, myself. I respond to posts that interest me but I'm guilty of not always going back to see if there has been a response to something I've posted. There are people whose names I always click on because I'm usually interested in what they post, there are others I don't because some seem out to cause dissent. There are (in my view) a few attention seekers here but I have never thought that you are one of them. I hope I've never ignored you and I apologise if I have. Gwynne

Hello Claire I haven't read all the thread but from what I see you have got a mixed reaction. Hope you don't feel like this all the time. Sometimes you get noticed sometimes not but on the whole everyone is really friendly and if you need help everyone will do their best. Chin up Germaine xx

Rebekah How dare you,,,Iv been a member on GR for well over 2 years,,its only last night that i felt like that, Plenty of others moan on here but im not allowed to? Iv had various e-mails saying you are a nasty peice of work,,,and i agree,, I dont crave constant or want 'attention' as you put, But i do agree with you about one thing,,,there are some lovely people on here,,,its just that you're not one of them,

I hope you didn't mean me me Liz I have been in Claire's position many a time over my years membership but i just carried on and would never have dreamt of posting something like this Kaz

Oh here we go again, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything, in these circumstances. Obviously Claire feels a bit ignored, and I have had that feeling too sometimes. I often post, and kill a thread stone dead, especially when I am on here really late / really early depending on where you are, and whether you are a night owl or early riser. When I first came on this board, I did think there was a clique but I just muscled in and when I didn't get told to p**s off I carried on reading and sometimes posting. I think the two people who are being bitchy want to look at themselves and wonder why they need to be so unkind. They don't need to read this thread if it bothers them, but to be so unpleasant is not nice. One day they might find themselves in a similar situation - what goes around comes around so who knows?

Hi all Hi Claire Unfortunately I am one of a minority who is with Rebekkah on this! I found your post rather rude - especially the NOT! There are lots of lovely people on here and just join in please stop whinging!! Kaz

Morning Claire, sorry i'm not usualy around at this time so i wasnt ignoring Honestly Lil
