General Chat

Morning, Maz, I have just got up ( know I am lazy!!) to read the threads while I have a coffee, and came across yours. As I have you as a contact on msn, only chat now and again, but have found you polite and funny, interesting and helpful to me, even though we only chat now and again. I have found you to be a very nice person, as are all my other contacts. I don't know what's gone on previously with you being suspended but glad you are back now... so ...... HI MAZ and welcome back chuck.... I have missed your threads!!!! Best wishes, Anne :)))

This needs to be kept on page 1. I make no apologies for nudging it. Viv

What a refreshing sight - honesty, pure and simple. Thank you for spelling it out, Maz. I hope your message reaches those who need to see it and recognise themselves. Like Mags and Pink, I don't really care what anyone thinks of me or what I write. I think we're all entitled to express our opinions, and I give my own individual opinion whenever I reply to others' posts, whoever writes them; but I draw the line at writing what I'm sometimes saying to my PC screen, and I'll either tone down what I've written before posting it or not bother posting it at all. I'm never intentionally offensive, but if anyone ever wants to discuss anything I've written, they know how to contact me, and if they ask, they'll get honest answers. Why offend people on a public discussioon board? It's just not necessary. CB >|<

Hi Jewels at least i'm not on me own then! c x

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

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?

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 :-)

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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!

Courage and honesty are 2 qualities to be admired.

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
