Hi Maz You have my utmost respect and admiration for posting this thread. Having spoken to you recently, I know that the 8 week suspension gave you some 'thinking' time - and also that you have had difficult personal circumstances to deal with. I agree entirely with what you have said. I do have some close friends on GR, like most people, but I would never condone a 'clique'. There are bound to be fellow members that you get on better with and have more in common with, but that doesn't mean that others have to be excluded. I'm sorry that you have had people being nasty to you for having the guts to apologise publicly. This is totally unacceptable and I hope that you will report everything you can to GR Abuse. Love Mandy x

Well said Maz, have put my comments on another thread so won't repeat myself but am feeling very wary about carrying on with this board (or getting involved with any others). Shame as I was really enjoying all the banter, jokes and serious stuff too.

Ann the thread didn't get nasty, a lot of people have said that but its not true it didn't get really bad as many threads here in the past have done. I am still actually annoyed that Mike should have suffered such a harsh punishment as 8 weeks suspension, a very longtime, the crime doesn't match the punishment, it's the reverse here on Genes.

Howard, we know you are not one of the clique, I too was initially on the offending thread - well i think I was. But I too went to bed before it got nasty and was shocked to find Mike had been suspended in the morning. Unfortunately (due to senior moment) I can't remember who was on that thread other than one male, so I too don't know who we are talking about unfortunately. Ann glos

Niether do I Becks all you need to know is there is an off button .But of course to some people these boards are a lifeline to the out side world to others its a hobby and not to be taken too seriously.The same thing can happen with neighbours if you get too close if they find out too much about you they get jelous.Iam like you Maz Ive got too close to people and theyve let me down. Never again.If you pop in and out of here its ok.MX

Have to say that I watch from the sidelines whenever warfare breaks out. Usually I don't know enough of the history of these arguments or whatever you want to call them to come to any firm conclusions about either party and the same goes for this latest debacle. That said, I will defend those I've come to know and meet.

Linda, Don't go blaming yourself, you can't do things on your own, then it all turns around on you, although I better not see such a thing happening to you. Please Linda don't say things like being ashamed of yourself, there must have been other people around and had seen what you saw, I wish I had seen it myself. There is no way you could ever be as bad as 'them'. Pat x

Jacq, I've been a member here for 18 months and I still don't know who these people are but I have my suspicions. There are 5 people I trust implicitly on this site.... one is a school friend and the others are people I have met through Genes. Unfortunately you have to be wary of people these days and I tend to keep myself to myself and not get involved with the trouble that can go on. That said, I felt I had to speak my mind on this thread earlier. Viv
