I am cooking sunday lunch and washing and inbetween popping on here and FB....

I added a reply to a post on a thread as did others, for it to deleted by the author, I am outraged to be honest and all the threads put up this morning with regards the RR and ignore and so on, to add my own opinion or reply to what I can only describe as a " sweeping statement" for then to go whoooshh or whatever its called....

For someone who is very quck to say they don't like disagreements on the site, for someone who accused others of picking on people without any proof (they just think they are) who the hell is to say apart from GR what threads stay and which ones " need to go" no one and I mean no one is the board police on this site again but GR, before any harmony is restored on this board I think certain people need to take a good long look at their own actions because halo wearing they are certainly NOT :-|

I can only guess at the thread, I can never understand going to all the trouble of posting a thread and getting interest only to delete it while it is still ongoing. The only exception to that would be if I thought it was getting out of hand or people were getting at me for some reason. I didn't see the development of the thread so can't judge.

Hmmmmmm can't say I am shocked that it has gone. I assume it was the one asking that we ignore the RRing.

Hey ho I'll be more choosy where I spend time composing a reply in future.

Well thanks alot,.l deleted it because it was beginning to cause trouble.

That in my view was sensible.

And if this is'nt a go at me as has be done many times also to others, then lm more dumfounded than ever.

How come all your sarky remarks, not just you Hayley buy many of you are ignored but as soon l try and say something l get all kinds remakrs, just not allowed an opinion.

l've composed replies to loads of threads in the past and the thread has been woooshed for what ever reason....so what.

Jude, there was no trouble on that thread. People were just offering their own point of view that's all. If you felt challenged by an opinion differing from your own, I'm sorry, but the problem is yours.

This is the point that is made. You sit there accusing us of all sorts, yet it's us who are in the main being RRd time after time without justification...not you.

I have made every effort to avoid both yours and puss's posts...yet the two of you have come on to threads I'm on accusing me. Sorry, but if it's to be called bullying...its the chaser, not the chased doing it.

l've not accused you Teresa.....l said the other day on a thread as a whole some peeps need to get a life, thats what l've been told before. l'm entitled to an opinion.Yes it was getting difficult on the thread so l deleted it before it got worse.

l do believe if you had all left things instead of adding more andmore threads, it may have in time calmed down.
For a change l had some responses that agreed with me, but peope are afraid to say anymore incase they get got at to!!

Having a different opinion is not being 'got at'. That's all I saw before it was deleted. Just different points of view

Perhaps if post after post of yours were RRd for no reason other than spite, you'd be shouting the odds about it too. Are we not entitled to a point of view either?

Your thread Jude,

You said as your are entitled to so do your point of views, in your opinion you thought some threads should go when others added and challenged you, you deleted there was no trouble none of what I saw was rude or insulting if you feel you can not reply when challenged thats your problem, but you can not expect to make sweeping statements and not get replies wheather you agree with them or not, as I said you are not the board police you can RR to your hearts content, as I am able to stand up to my convictions and Jude that is neither sarky or snidey its my total honest opinion like it or not.

TeresaW Report 18 Mar 2012 19:42

And I totally agree with Hayley, so let's agree to differ and keep OFF each others threads...as we have been doing all along.

Stop the paranoia, it's not all about you.

Actually TW I really can't be doing with policing myself by stayng off other peoples' threads, why should I?

I pay my subs along with everyone else. If GR want to police me they can but not any member who dislikes me.

Its a pity blinkers give a one way view eh Teresa, I have been around this site long to spot a thinly veiled thread a mile off but have I jumped up and down and pressed the RR button NO....have I shouted and called people a bully or demand they stop picking on me and my friends...NO I have laughed cos its not worth the bother ;-)


Edit Sue I agree if I want to post I shall do :-P

TeresaW Report 18 Mar 2012 20:03

When you put it like that yes you're right. I just want to state that both Jude and Puss have chased us around accusing us, not the other way round. So far we've kept off their threads, and that's that. They haven't.

And you're also right, we haven't once shouted about being bullied etc etc yet we are clearly the targets for the mystery RR-er...what a coincidence that two other people are throwing accusations around at us too...is it? I hope it is just that.
