General Chat

I think it is good when some one owns up to their account being abused, but am I missing some thing here, I saw no appology, nor remorse for what happened, it was put down to teenage pranks, those of us with teenagers know that some times they do silly things without thinking, but Linda your son and his friend did do wrong, so they should be the ones being told off, not Jan's friends for sticking up for her, your son should be made to face up to what he has done, and post his own appology on here, that is the way children learn that some behaviour is not acceptable, by having to face up to their actions. Bev

Bev, Well said. Ken - report me for what ? For sticking up for a friend ? For disbelieving someone ? How is that abuse ?

I agree with every word Bev has said. If my son had done anything like this as a teenager he would have been writing an apology quicksmart. I would also have apologised myself for allowing my account to be accessed and I certainly wouldn't complain about the people wronged by my son's actions. Gwynne

How old is Lindas son and his friend ? And why on earth would you let your teenage son and his mate muck about on a site which is not intended to be a teenage chat room type site ? It is well known when you get a couple of teenagers go on a site (sharing a pc) they are bound to have some high jinks , wind ups and laughs on whatever site they are on, especially if its during the night ! (no offence to our teenage members who use and respect the site and its members) also on message board guidelines it says ................................................................................ 'And, please don’t impersonate anyone.' 'don’t communicate anything that is, or could be considered to be, defamatory, FALSE, unreliable or misleading about any person, business or thing.' ................................................................................. and I also noticed there was no SORRY on this thread as well. Elaine x ps..another reason why boardnames shouldnt be altered.

Maybe I've missed something here.... as I see it a prank has been perpetrated by some teenagers..... I understand Jan would feel a bit shocked to see someone posting as her but nothing untoward or offense was posted (unless I missed it!). Mountains and molehills come to mind. Linda do as Ken says.... change your log in password. Give your son a stern talking to and let him know he has hurt not only friends of yours but you yourself..... Death is occuring out there folks!!!! Jacquie xxxx

Look..it's not abuse it's just that you are not giving the woman a chance.She may well have pm ed an apology to the parties concerned and we lot shouldn't be adding our pennies worth.Yes I know people are sticking up for someone they like,and rightly so,but shouldn't we all just stay out of it now?

I am with Paul here. I don't believe a word of lyndas post. I do believe that she has intentionally caused trouble, tried to cover her tracks when she realised she'd been found out and then posted this lie. This was posted last night AFTER i sent her a PM saying she will be barred from the site if she continues to cause trouble...suddenly the thread appeared with no apologies only excuses pointing the finger at someone else.. WHAT A LOAD OF C**P!!!! AND why on earth would she 'give' her login and password to 'her son and his friend' to use in the first place... AND where is she now? probably laughing her socks off thinking she's got away with it! xx

Linda As you are a fairly new member of this site I will give you the benefit of the doubt. It is obvious that you have no idea how much trouble can be caused by someone 'stealing' another person's identity on this site. It has happened several times in the past and caused untold hurt and trouble. I do agree with others who have said an apology from your son would be a good first step to take. Secondly I would advise that you keep your password to yourself in future and this will never occur again. My 18 year old grandson has access to my computer but there is no way I would let him know my password. Jean.

Oh ye of little faith...comes to mind.

The 'comes' didn't come up.Whys that ?

Linda is not that new that she doesn't know we can see membership numbers! If it was her wanting to cause trouble she would surely not have done it in this way.... if she wanted to cause trouble she could have done a lot worse on the General Board!!! I say again Mountains out of Molehills.... She is now probably too scared to come back on to say sorry!!! Jacquie xxxxx

dot comes was mistaken for (dot) com

I agree it may be hard to believe this could happen, but accusing people without proof, that is abuse. Whether your intention is support of a friend or not it is still abuse. Ken xx

Elizabeth... dots before a c they don't like it!!! lol as in .* com

If i had a teenage son and he had caused all this trouble on a site i use and i was so upset about what had happened i would be on here apologising and trying to make things right.... She has posted this and not even bothered to defend herself, apologise, acknoledge (spelling) or thank anybody who has replyed to her post! I don't believe her story AT ALL! X

Why is paul being accused of abuse for giving his opinion ? I see nothing in all his posts to suggest this ?

Ah thank you Matilda. How are you this morning?

Gwynne,I got your message.Many thanks. :~)

Perhaps Linda has a job and is therefore unable to respond to this thread atthe minute

Ken, So report me ? I'm not at all concerned if you do, I haven't done anything wrong, unlike the person who is impersonating other members of the site. Paul
