Why is it some people decide they can run people off this site?

I have been chased off a couple of times but why?

If we read a post a certain way that is our fault NOT the poster, unlike face to face we decide all by ourselves how a post is read - few of us will manage to get it right!


Billy's mum is not a spiteful person, she has feelings, and things that have affected her in her life will of course seem very sensitive to her when others make jokes that touch onto the sorrow she has lived with - whether it is known to the poster or not.

Newbies make the same mistakes and the oldies on any chat board. NO one member owns this site or any of these boards, we all have our share in them from the subs we pay!

Too many people stop posting due to some form of harassment or they refuse to renew their membership due to feeling unwanted on the boards. That is not the way it should be - we all have views, we all have problems but NONE of us need the abuse.

I don't know what happened last night and I don't want to, all I know is when a person is reduced to tears over a chat board then there has been spite directed in that persons way - I hope GR was informed, as equally as I hope the spiteful people get reprimanded!

Leave people alone if you can't say anything nice, no person has any right to hurt another.
