I think you all love a bit of gossip and everyone putting their four penny's worth in.

Shouldn't do this, dont want to hear that, keep it off the boards etc etc etc

39 posts so far on the subject

Human nature ?????????

So.....what about the rest of us who are not in the in crowd...or know!....or for that matter want to know......should we be caught in the middle of this linen washing slanging match?......keep it off the boards.....keep it to yourselves! Is my opinion......why should the rest of us be expected to take sides, as surely any more comments about who is right or wrong is asking us to do.

Edit.....not in answer to Sylvia :-)

Thank you Susan wiv numbers


Wendy .................

I don't know whether you were referring to me directly or not .......... or if it was just a throwaway remark

But it did seem you were playing the "I know and you don't know" game.



I must make it clear that I am not referring ONLY to the current situation between certain people .............


.......... this game is also played by others with other problems!

I agree Sylvia, but neither should people be intimidated because of what certain people have done, and not for the first time,**M**.Ps. Glad you are enjoying the Boards again, it gives others Some Hope.

I don't think I could ever accuse you of being naive Sylvia and I certainly didn't have you in mind when I posted my comment :-)

Susan10146857 Report 7 Mar 2014 21:10

Very well said Sylvia. I agree, word for word. Dirty linen should be kept off the boards and washed elsewhere!

Merlin and Wendy ................

perhaps we are not so naive as you seem to think


BUT many of us are fed up with the constant public washing of dirty linen, and the constant bullying and harassment of one or t'other person

It really does boggle my mind when I come on here late at night, and see threads with lots of RR'd posts ....................... only to see the next day that GR has reinstated the posts


There must be some secret society words, known only to a few of you, demonstrated on many of these threads, because posts that I have seen before being RR'd or after they have re-instated usually seem innocuous to me.


BUT .............. it is the bullying and harassment which really bothers me.


It's like being back in the playground at school in the 1940s and 1950s.


No-one, and I mean NO-ONE, deserves to be bullied into leaving GR .................



just ignore each other!

don't be tempted to post

don't be tempted to play the RR game

ignore your "friends" who will delight in telling you that so-and-so has posted such-and-such



Believe, me .................. I found out about that last year...............

......... so I am talking from personal experience!


I overcame the temptation, did not leave GR ................... and have been enjoying the Boards once again.

Well, I was looking forward to a wedding a few months ago and had already bought my hat.

The engaged groom even told me that I would be on the top table, but then sadly he changed his mind and went on to new pastures :-|

I agree with Renes from where I'm sitting Mr Sheep is being bullied.

And it seems for something that happened in his personal life. Whether or not he was to blame for that situation should not have any bearing on how he is treated on the board. The only other person to eRRolSheep to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is the other person involved and is nobody else's business.

If you don't want to give peas a chance then don't post on his fred. Simples

Ann

From what we can all see ..the OP is being bullied ... no, if and or buts ...

And I have to add, from what little contact we have had on the boards, in the past

you have always been in the forefront, to curtail this behavior, admirably so, I

might add

I, and it appears others are are equally perplexed as to what you are doing ......


Edit ....to add to what Jax is saying ,,,,

it appears GR also see it as against there T&Cs, judging by the other RRd posts that have not reappeared ...
