....let's have a straightening of the record:))

This is one of the reasons I don't like pms.

Dizzi posted a thread called something like HE DOESNT UNDERSTAND. There were a few sympathetic comments and a couple of posts about perceived differences of understanding between men and women. One poster was out of the mood with the thread a bit and got a telling off by a couple of members. Gill posted something like "Let it go hun" and some sympathy - I took this as a criticism of the out of kilter poster and added something about Gill being a gross hypocrite, after her posts on and complaints about Jean's support thread.

Yesterday morning, I had two pms, one from Carol Paine and one from Secret Red Squirrel. I have no interest in reading anything that the former sends me privately so just removed her from my contacts without bothering to read the pm. In her pm, SRS asked me if I might have read Gill's post wrong. As it was possible and I'd made my point, I deleted the post.

Later on yesterday, I got a pm from Dizzi thanking me for removing my post as Carol had asked and telling me about a friend of hers who had died "in confidence" - so I'd be careful of telling her anything you want kept quiet! I replied saying I don't read Carol's pms but I hope that they had both learnt how upsetting it can be when someone posts something inappropriate on a thread but I doubted it.

I then got a reply from Dizzi saying she was wasting her time talking to me, blah blah and I replied saying yes she was wasting her time, that she and Carol are both a couple of hypocrites and please don't pm me again. And then last night I removed her from my contacts too.

******Please bear in mind that I could be lying or alternatively, that my account has been hacked into and it might not be me typing******

Hi Uggers :)

Sorry I hadn't got around to replying yet. I wasn't ignoring you honest. Since you've "outed" me sending you a pm (feel like someone out of Watergate lol), all I was going to say in my reply was that I hoped you hadn't deleted your post because of me, that wasn't my intention. I only asked because I thought I'd missed something but understand (after your explanation) that people can see different things in different posts, I hadn't read it that way but can understand why you may have done. By the way, I hadn't discussed my pm with anyone so know nothing of your other pms. Not a debate to get into at the moment. I'm really not a morning person and thinking is a bit too taxing this early.

Sorry if it's complicated but I'd just read Carol P's smug post suggesting that I was lying so just reacted and typed as it came:))

Yes I can see that but it was just so silly. All I could imagine were two people sitting at the computer plotting the downfall of Uggers:-)))

Ahhh I understand why you posted this now Uggers.

I can confirm that you had read my pm and replied to it where you said deleted because of what I said (even though you didn't have to delete on my account ;) ).

Strangely I was talking about assumptions the other day with a colleague. I cannot remember what exactly was said but it was on the lines of Naff Off could stand for "Never Assume Facts?. Find Out Facts First"

I'll have to ask her again exactly what it stood for, my memory is awful. By the way, i don't mean to offend anyone with this, it's just a coincidence we were talking about assumptions :)

And another thing:-)) If you did tell a little lie and did read the PM.....who cares? You wouldn't need to explain that either. Just a bit annoyed that you've been made to feel you have to explain yourself.
