That's a fair comment, which I accept unreservedly. I've updated the post and removed the reference. |

Yes Ruth, I remember that too. He did a few 'Hello' threads, then it progressed to' Stockings or Suspenders' 'Sex or Chocolate' then something about Do you do your Hoovering naked then we had last nights drivel. By responding to his 'questions' his 'questions' have escalated into the weird zone |

Hayley - thanks for that - but the orginal 'sick' thread has been removed hasnt it ???? I agree with everything said from all against this type of thread - im just thankful that my little ones are too young to read this kind of filth. They often want to sit on my knee when im online and after this incident i think i may have to rethink that. |

I agree batman, I am not a prude either far from it and did reply to the chocolate one, but I had a strange feeling about the number of these threads and the way he replied to them. Not sure really what made me uneasy. |

'And the only reason he was lynched was because the person who originally posted the message was a 'long standing, and respected member'. people have also been lynched for speaking out against the poster who has been a new member or a member of a few months or around a year or two. Ive known a fairly newish person to post inappropriate things, people including myself have expressed our distaste on the thread , only to be run down by an army of the posters mates for doing so. Being a long standing member has not protected me from insults, aggravation, nastiness and other unpleasant things. Nor would it protect newbies and those in between. Its about time the quotes Because you are a Long standing member / newbie / young / old cease to exist Doesn't matter what membership standing you have on Gene's we are all members with faults, we all make boo boos on here, some we regret, some we dont, we all laugh, cry, moan and use the toilet. Lets not lay the blame on the membership length of the person, just at the crime of sorts committed. Elaine x ps took me so long to post, I now see the quote has been removed |

I agree Elaine! We all have the same membership rights, whether new or established, young or old. What sadly seems to be lacking is a little bit of common courtesy and respect. The humour on here is excellent - the only reason I look in. The worrying thing is the people who seem to have an agenda, who seem to be trying to fulfill some motive or other. As i said earlier, there is a difference between the Kenneth Williams 'double entendre' and this new, emerging dark side |

I don't think wether your a long standing member or not has anything to do with it! Fact is it's distasteful whoever it is-.Long standing or not. There should be no discrimination about this. If you are a longstanding member and you post something offensive then you pay the penalty, myself included in this. If cos he was new and didn't know the rules I can maybe understand, with someone having a quiet word in his shell like,hopefully it wont't happen again, but he drew the line,and he snook off and deleted his post and replies on another thread, cos he knew he had done wrong not just on this but several occasions. catherine xx |

I did not see the thread you are on about, but i did see the Pineapple one which i thought was funny, a JOKE someone took offence and added a thread stating that fact, we all had are opinions some people dont agree some do , a statement was made that the person who added the pineapple thread was a long standing member and respected, which is also so true, in other words would not do anything to offend others, if it had been a new member and was respected for there contributions to threads it would have said that to, as for people being rude i did not see any of that on that thread, i saw poeple adding there opinions honestly, some people tryed to fuel an argument which did not work, but whats new, i say again if you dont like a thread move on dont add to it we are all individuals and should know better |

Who do you mean when you're talking about the immature PC brigade on here, Lil? Wouldn't they be just expressing their opinion as you are doing? |

I thought the wording was wrong Lil - don't think it's got much to do with political correctness:)) But I do agree with you (think it was you) that that there is more of a drama when it's a long standing popular member who's in trouble. I suppose that's human nature though. |

What's the matter, Wilde Childe? All seems quite civilised on here to me. Good for you Lil. I don't like people being treated unfairly but I find it harder to get worked up about it when it's someone I don't like (new or old:)) |

RIght Douglas - 1. Its the school holidays and i believe the thread was orginally posted just before 8.30pm - thats well before the watershed. 2. Does it matter what the time was - what if one of my children had been ill and just wanted a cuddle from their mum. 3. Who said i lived in the same time zone as you - please remember there are peeps on here from all over the world. |

Doug Have some respect for yourself eh ? What you posted was obscene, nothing more nothing less. If a member wants to have her child on her lap then its her risk, we all know often especially of late innapropriate things do appear on here of late. As someone mentioned earlier, the minimum age for this site is 16. I wouldnt want my 16 year old reading lewd material on what I believe to be a family site. If you really cannot help yourself and must be lewd, there are other sites which would welcome you with open arms. They are normally found under 'Porn' when using google You may even find connections members and staff are more liberal with their postings Elaine x |
