General Chat

I have read various threads concerning the suspension, and what all your views are, and some of them are very good points! In some of the posts, I have noticed people stating that there are not and have never been cliques/groups that on here and on msn, who discuss members and then goad them into responding to situtations! Well to the people that think it does not go on, I am very sorry, but it does, I know it does, because for a while I was a member of one of these groups/cliques. It was being a member that helped toward my self being suspended for 8 weeks recently. It was during this 8 week suspension however, that gave me a chance to sit back and watch the boards rather than joining in like a raging bull. It made me realise what a dangerous and pathetic person I had allowed myself to become, how hurtful we were as a group, and after seeing this, I decided enough was enough, and when I came back I apologised on a thread to this effect.. due to this I am now the victim of the very same group that I was in, but hey! who cares? not me anymore.. all I can say to you all, and you know who you are.. is sit back for a few days and really watch yourselves, what you are doing is plain NASTY and Cruel, and you can treat me what ever way you see fit, but have the decency to admit, IT'S WRONG!!

Well said Maz good points! Dx

Well said, Maz. I admire your honesty. Gwynne

Wow Maz! Well said, you are very brave. Helenxx

Well done Maz, that was brave of you. I can't speak for the past, but I do know that there is a bully-group operating on the board at the moment. Very successfully as it happens! Bev

Courage and honesty are 2 qualities to be admired.

Maz you should not let yourself get involved with any back stabbing that may go on. There is too much of it on this site. Be very careful who you talk to........I do!

Well said Maz! At least you have got the guts to admit and apologise! These others hide behind each other.... you cant help feeling sorry for them really! They must have such sad little lives! Bev

One of these days Maz...people will go just that bit too far. There are a lot of vulnerable people on this site and this gossiping is insidious, even the strongest of us can be worn down. One of these days a 'victim' will take the ultimate route and how will the gossipmongers feel then?? If anyone is talking about me behind my back - hope you are enjoying it. This is me...what you see is what you get. If that doesn't suit - tough. Magsxx

Maz, I admire your honesty..... and to anyone who wants to talk about me behind my back then go ahead cos at least then you are leaving the vulnerable people alone.... but then if you are as tough as you make out, try taking me on personally and see how you fair then!! Pink xx

hey lady! very brave of you and i admire ya for it. i might walk around with me head up me bum, coz i honestly don't know who is part of the click, but i'm only on through the day, so that may be why c x

well said Maz takes a lot to do what you have done on this thread lets just hope others take heed proud of you Maz again well done

God Maz, you made me come over all funny. Well said girl. I have been a member since 2002, and I have seen the comings and goings of smashing people through the antics of others - funny and well liked people. I know of the incident you are talking about and I remember you apologizing for the situation, through all that I think people like myself gained a higher opinion of you - to me the situation has long been forgotten and you're missed. For sometime now it has been quite with a gentle flow of conversation on this board, now all of a sudden BAM! the rot creeps back in. Please re-read what Maz has said - never a truer word. Take care Maz - good to see you are still around. Linda

Well done Maz It can't have been easy to admit that and l admire you for it Anne xx

Yes Pink, I agree with your personal opinion & voice exactly the same thoughts that come to mind. Carol.

well said Maz!! so glad you are back.... and lets hope we can get Mike back too!

Well done Maz You have now confirmed what a lot of us supected but were afraid to say. Thanks Again Linda

Whenever anything starts on the boards and there is talk of groups and cliques, I automatically feel guilty even though I am not! I have had a break from the boards for a while other than the odd reply to GB's thread. This was because after having had a health scare, it made me put things into perspective and realise what is important in life. When I didn't enjoy the boards, I knew it was time to keep away. I have been gradually creeping back and viewing more and more but now feel very disheartened again. I don't know who the bullies are as I have obvioulsy missed something in the threads and can't recognise who they may be. I do know that after the last suspensions, people were being goaded on their return to argue and I am pleased to say neither of the persons involved rose to the bait. I also know that I have recieved messages warning me against people and then see the sender supporting that person on the threads! So good for you Maz for having sat back, seen what can happen and returning with a different frame of mind. Jacky :-)

My parents taught me that another spelling of the word BULLY was COWARD and therefore I have no problem voicing my opinion as I know they will never be brave enough to come out the woodwork!! Or will you?

Well done Maz Little Ray, I'm with you I haven't a clue who they are cos I'm only usually on during the day Julie xxx
