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 :)))

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

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

Jeanette...I am calm now after a good night's sleep but at the time I was very upset by the remarks on this thread... As Viv has said don't Tar everyone with the same brush.... We go on chat for a laugh sometimes to relieve the stress.. This was a one off....he is now gone! I have made some good friends on chat and I can assure everyone here that they are not morons! Enough said..... Everyone happy.....you bet you're life we are...... Jacquie xxxx

Oops, seems my works have offended, which I assure you wasn't the intention, so to Jacqui and Jules and any other sane people that use the chat board, I do apologise. Obviously I was generalizing wildly, and clearly not everyone who uses chat is a moron !! I know lots of nice people from here use it, people I've talked to in the past like Jo, Jill, Trish, Zoe, Mike etc... I do however standby my comments with regard to what was going on in there last night - idiotic, juvenile behaviour, which hopefully, as someone mentioned, GR have already resolved. Paul

Hi Paul... Thats very good of you to say that.. last thing we wanted was to be seen as any of the things you mention.. Just happens that we all got a bite of the 'bad apple' last night...wasn't very nice i must admit. Have a good day mate. :)

Julie Report 5 Jun 2005 17:27

Christine.... Most of us use the chat board to communicate with our friends as do the nice people on these boards. If you haven't looked in for 6mths then you've missed alot of friendly & nice people who talk about day to day life...sometimes rubbish but most of all friendly & respectful conversations. We happened to have an odd night last night...thats life... but that doesn't mean the chat room is run down place that needs demolishing...i dont think so anyway. :)

Lisa, As I said before, it wasn't filth as such, it was just stupid juvenille behaviour - name calling, swearing, threats - you know the sort of thing I mean. Paul
