Ps Don't know what's happened over the weekend as i was out all yesterday at a Nurses Re-union ---but not really interested in people causing hassle----aren't they sad???

Agree with you Jeannette, so only come on here a little and look at certain threads but don't bother with a lot, too much hassle. ~Ignore them and they may go away---not as good as it used to be is it?

Morning all!! I'm still in agreement with you all. Christine x

Thank you, Viv. So are you....lol BC

Yes Paul it is, wish it could stay this way. BC, You are a CLICK lol Vivienne xx

Hi Jeanette I have to agree with you too. I have only been here just under a year and cannot believe the change in that short time and specially since christmas. One good thing is I see more of my family (ooh yikes) and found some more grt grt grandparents. Kaz :o)

*hastily follows Jeanette* Lol Helenxx

No, Haddock, by now you will gather you are not alone:-)...let's all try and bring back the old cameraderie, debates, fun threads, kindness, and maybe some of the people who have been put off posting lately, will start to join in again. OK call me a click, I don't mind:-))) BC XX

LOL Viv! *dashes off to find spurs joke cos I'm nosy* LOL

I agree with what has been said on this thread.

Vivienne... indeed we have. its a nice, polite clique though, don't you think ?

PS Im delighted that peoples eyes are being opened to who are causing troubles of late. Elaine x

oooh, guess what, it looks like we've formed a clique. Well that's what we'll be accused of anyway. pmsl Vivienne xx

Actually, on my spurs joke thread (still on genes) one of those 'New' people posted under her real name then posted under a silly name two posts down from that, 'Innocent' or not, Ive no idea who Im talking to and im sure some constant *name changes* are done for the sole reason of causing confusion and trouble. * Not to be confused with those who change their names but keep their identities, or those who change their name...state the fact and keep that name for a few months at least.

It makes me so sad that with all the horror going on in the world that some of us are unable to stop and think of other members and what might be going on in their lives before we type such utter nastiness at times. Its true that some members know each other and its also true that some members have been around for along time on the boards and yet we know nothing of them. Yet still a few like to personally attack and more often than not because they have NOT READ the thread correctly......... they've skimmed over, glanced or misinterpreted the opinion of another member through missing out one key word. So I too agree and am guarded these days as to what I can type and how it will or will not be misread. Much happiness Debi

Any suggestions as to what we can do to defuse potentially aggressive threads? I haven't been on much for ages because of this aggressive atmosphere. for example -calling people saddoes and accusing them of having no sense of humour isn't adult debate - how can we counter this? Gwynne

I too agree, and have added to Trish's thread.

course, you could come out fighting, get yourself suspended, and then we could have our very own martyr couldn't we ? Inicidentally, does anyone else find it unsettling that most of the 'new' people involved, and I thinkw e all know who we mean, don't use their real names ?

We are all agreeing with each other here, and in Trish's thread, and in David's..... :-)

I was ready to come out fighting when I put this thread up last night, but it would seem I'm not alone after all! lol Very well said Mandy and Paul
