I think in one instance someone who was famed for posting so called original and interesting things (to some) has proved Gr made the right call in "Culling" them.

Shame they continue to show their truest colours by still crudely berating and belittling posters on GR, making people feel uncomfortable posting..& its even sadder that some people still support them, and their actions, and still feel the person was hard done by despite the majority now knowing otherwise.

Back to the original question.

I feel the boards are more sterile, people dont like their every word to be scrutinised and run down. Even what can be classed as a run of the mill thread, talking about run of the mill things, a thread which hurts no one and is posted by someone who doesnt get involved in anything nasty gets attacked and threats are made..

I feel uncomfortable, knowing I'm being watched when I post on here...but I will continue to post & not let someones anti social behavior destroy that.

There's talk of stalkers, those who follow you round when you dont always realise it causing upset and hurt, and this is who has really spoilt this board and community at this point in time..

Its really up to everyone to turn this round and make the boards a happier place to post.

I believe the only way to go forward is to have a fresh start and not mention other sites or blogs on here.

The same goes for arguments from months and
months ago..............let them stay in the past where they belong.

I understand the hurt and anger they cause, not to mention the pleasure the blogger gets out of it, but if you keep picking at a scab it will never heal................time for a new start maybe?

Morning Bev. I don't think it's much to do with blogs and people being scared to post, I just think it's going through a bit of a boring phase again.
