Do not know what has or has not been posted on the history board...to upset everyone,,,but there are very evil people out there..

What I do know is that a lot of people have been hurt...

I am not here to take sides but for once and all can we.."air our views"...say what and why things have been said that have upset others...

WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ARGUMENT!!!

In other words you are allowed to say what you feel...and NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO SHOOT YOU DOWN...

Do you think that this is something that we could try...or am I as naive as my OH's says I am...

This is not a thread for troublemakers....I am off to bed and are really curious as to how people will behave...

Or are we really animals at heart...!

Wise words Lindy, unless we know exactly who said what it feeds the speculation and innocent people are getting caught in the crossfire.

Chinese whispers can be a very nasty game sometimes.

I think most people are balanced and normal - I cant even be arsed to get upset by these so called trouble makers - they are not worth my effort and neither should they be worth anyone elses.

Theres too many good things to be doing instead :)

Hi Lindy

I cant see where the thread is or what's going on.

There will always be somebody out there to cause trouble. Some are sneaky though and just add fuel to the fire while they sit back and watch it burn.

If I recall othough I havent even bothered looking for the threads myself - those that have seen them have said most are over a year old. Just not deleted.

I have seen these threads, quite a few of them actually....
It doesn't matter to me if they were written a year ago or an hour ago - i am utterly disgusted by what i have seen...
There are posts (too distrubing to repeat) about two much loved members of the Gt boards who are no longer with us - but missed by everyone....
They were posted by people i thought were fairly 'normal', but a couple were of no suprise to me....
I don't think they should be smoothed over or brushed under the carpet, i think everyone on the boards has the right to know what is being said about them or their loved ones....

I think you have hit the nail on the head when you said '' or are we really animals at heart'' - in answer to your question, yes, some people are, and some are a lot worse than that...

I agree with Scraper of Land. Just get the things taken down - they are obviously causing unneccesary upset and pain.

I dont really care what people say about others - I will always make up my own mind.

But I do think the threads need to be moderated. We pay enough money - I dont see why this cant be done. Three strikes and your out.
