Hi David... Yeah i understand that....ignorance wasn't bliss in this case...it made him more determind to be noticed....had been going on for a few days & innocent folk were hounded too. Still...todays another day & as someone said...he appears to be a 'happy genes error' now..lol

Hi Jules I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong but I think Paul was saying that if you get a trouble maker on chat it's much harder to ignore them - whereas on here you can avoid a thread. Think most realised there was only one bloke mixing it:) David

Morning Paul... have just scrolled back to certain pages on the chat board and see what you mean... but if you click on a certain name, error comes up so I am presuming GR has sorted this problem out. I hope so, I used to go on there sometimes, but seeing all sorts like that, I would rather just add to threads of mine and others to air my views... which do not cause offence I hope to anyone. But there are certain people that do that sort of thing as we know from past experience.... still, thats life!!! Have a great day, Anne :)))

Morning Jules I listened! lol. I didn't think for one minute that it was you. I did have my doubts about Adam last night, but having read back this morning I can see there was only one person who was out of order. I think we assumed (wrongly obviously!) that you might all have been newbies and needed a little help in getting rid of him. Didn't mean to upset or offend you. Jeanette x

Morning All... For those who are interested in the facts please read on, for those who want to judge without the facts dont..! I was in the middle of the discussion in question....some may think i started it but i didn't...We 'morons' who use chat are not usually used to the bickering & bad tempered way things turned out, we have all made some good friends & have some deep & meaningful topics to disscuss aswell as the light hearted chat we all enjoy from time to time. The person in question had on a previous night been directly hassling a female member, up to 60 mails received, which was upsetting. Myself, Adam & Nick & others who were called allsorts were there to chat with our friends....things got out of hand when the man in question realised we were all going to stick together & watch eachothers back. We have been through this on chat before with a man who took a fancy to the young girls...this was reported to gr, even by the girls husband but nothing was done so we 'saw him off'...whats so wrong with sticking together & protecting your friends. If anybody is going to report anybody then please be sure you have the full story before you do....Nick & Adam were being human & retaliated to abuse thrown at them...so were the rest of us. I have seen children bickering on the thread boards before but never throw my 2 pennies worth in because its nothing to do with me & i couldnt judge on something i didnt have the full picture on. Last night on chat was a one off & am sorry if it offended anyone, those who visit chat often will know this is an isolated incident. Those who don't, take my word for it. It did help having new faces show up last night, hopefully he realises the chat board isn't a place to pick on anyone. I do hope you all have a good day & thank you for listening...those who did. :)

Morning all I've sobered up now! lol. Bet that Pat and Mandy are still in bed - lazy trouts! lol That Stephen H guy was a bit of a wierdo wasn't he? Didn't stick around long when we went in mob handed though did he! lol. Jacqui - hope we didn't upset you too much. We can't get away that sort of language and goings on on the other boards and thought the peeps in there might need a bit of back up. Jeanette x

I would like to apologise to those on this thread, who only had the interests of the people being hounded on chat, at heart. I may have come on a bit strong, but at the time it was how I felt. Sorry if I have in any way offended anyone. Jacquie xxx
