General Chat

Well, I'm astounded. These - people??- cannot sink any lower. They are pondlife. Would they rather have all the tedious and acrimonious slanging matches that have been on here recently instead??? It makes you wonder how their minds work. Well done to everybody on here who have been fundraising for the Pink campaign.

Please could someone explain to me if I have got this right. 1. Pink raises funds for cancer charities 2. Pink posted a thread on the General Board thanking people who had helped her 3. Someone has complained to GR and they have told Pink that she cannot thank people on here any more. Is this the story? You must excuse my ignorance, I am not a habituee of the General Board and do not know the ongoing story. I am a refugee from the Tips Board, and very nervous of posting on this board, having read a bit about what happens to people on here. The more I read, the more Alice-in-Wonderland the whole thing becomes.

I have 1 very close friend who has beaten this desease 1 other who has just lost her mum to it, and 1 more who is fighting bloody hard to beat it.....I hope the person/people who did this never have to watch someone being told they have this desease, because they would be of no emotional support to them at all .. Keep up the good work Pink, Jenny and all you pink Saharas And a great big massive thank you on behalf on my friends :)X

sorry to hear this ,as said ,some people are very sad .Fred.PtfA&G&G&S.

Getting a bit boring, this running to Gr reporting mis-placed threads and alike. Best ignored, but, boy, it hurts You and i have little direct communication but 'keep on keeping on Pink'- some things are important Jess x

thats pretty much it yes pussy cat

What a sad life they must lead.

I echo what others have written Pink, its totally bewildering, l have a mind like a sieve but did'nt you get complaints at the beginning of the year for exposing us all to your wicked fundraising!! Diana thanks for everything you do and for all the time you devote to this worthy cause you are simply the best. Love Anne xxx

I do not understand this, Diana. keep your chin up, :-) Joy

*having brooded on it for a while* So someone says, 'Miss, Miss, Diana is breaking the rules, Miss' There will always be class sneaks, sadly. But when it happens in my classroom over something this trivial I say, 'Go away and stop telling tales.' Why don't GR do the same? Some school rules just aren't very important. Gwynne

How how pathetic! What a waste of time and effort to complain about thanks! Put that energy into doing something useful like Pink is and leave her alone! Claire xx

Diana, Be yourself!, and to hell with those that don't like good manners. Lindy;-))

Like everyone else I simply do not understand this. It is petty and spiteful and smacks of some peverted kind of jealousy. Since when was thanking people considered fundraising? It is simply good manners and I shall not stop thanking anyone! I'm off out now - can't say where I'm going though as it might infringe some petty rule or offend some petty, person. Daisy

I am gobsmacked too Pink how can it be fundraising when you are only thanking people is beyond me. I lost my uncle due to cancer and when my mum was 2yrs old she lost her mum to cancer so I never got to ever meet her so I wish people would live and let live

pink i for one would like to say thanks.for caring about others.i have lost two friends and an aunt through cancer.it's an awful illness which without caring people like you these people would not have life .research needs money which need funds which needs fundraisers,you have put yourself out.your time.love and compassion for the charity has meant alot to many families who have to face this .diana a heartfelt thankyou not just from me.but everyone on here and the many people who without your help and fundraising would not be here today.love and hugs to you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(:

Hi Pink Have just come home logged on and seen this, and i am stunned! It seems that whoever it was complained about you thanking people was obviously not as well brought up as you were, so firstly we must all feel very sorry for them. Secondly, even if your thanks and all the other threads that are on here in some form or another about cancer research are bending the rules, whether its slightly or by a fair bit, SO WHAT!!!! .........its not like they are hurting anyone, mocking anyones religous views or offending any normal reasonable person, so why run to 'mummy' and tell tales!! I thought the purpose of this site was for like minded people to meet and chat whilst researching our tree, for building up a picture of our history and doing a bit of bonding at the same time, surely uniting in a common cause that will help save lives, possibly even for our own much loved family and friends is in fact the very best of reasons to visit these boards and add threads. After all we get some very heavy stuff on here at times as well as utter drivel, its what makes the world go round, so why oh why can't these sad little people get it into their heads that they might not like it....BUT most of us do!!! So go away, grow up and come out to play with the rest of us when you can play without being a killjoy tittle tattle!!!! Yvette (Yes i am having a sound off, but having been away for a while with real problems this sort of spite makes me mad, and i don't care at the moment who i offend...so there!!....i am now off to sit in a dark room and calm down,lol)

absolutely unbelieveable!!! i'm speechless (and that don't happen very often) Bev

Pinky, you know me, abit slow on the uptake!! So lets get this straight............YOU are not allowed to invite a friend to stay at your own home for the night????? Did I get that right?? Well, if I have got that right, all I can say is, 'whose business is it anyway?' You are 'yourself ' love. Ignore them.............whomsoever they THEY may be!!

Pink 10 years ago as newly weds we discovered that my husband had testicular cancer and secondary cancers in both lungs. The doctor at the time told us that 10 years previously there would have been no hope of a cure, but thanks to research he now had a 95% chance of survival. 10 years later he is fit and well and the proud father of two children. I give what I can, when I can to cancer research and are eternally grateful to those who fundraise for cancer research. Those who have complained about your efforts, should remember that one in three people is affected by cancer. My grandfather died of cancer when I was nine years old. It changed him beyond recognition. I hope you know how proud we all are of you. Just ignore the spiteful minority.

I'm really sorry that someone has complained Pink and like everyone else I can't understand why they have. This week one of my friends was diagnosed with cancer. So I would like to say thank you to you for raising money for this very worthy cause and thank you to everyone who has helped you and I stick my tongue out in disdain at the low life who has reported you!!
