Yes PR, it is true.......BUT only in the very small minority.

Should minorities rule the roost ? No.

I've just recently let a few upset me. Big mistake.....it's the large majority that count.

You must not let a few ruin a good thing. I've shovelled mine under the carpet. You must do the same.

Nowhere is it written that pricks shall not walk the Earth.
They do, but they only have an impact if we let them.

I have absolutely no idea what this incident was but rise above it gal.
A bloody good curse and a vino is called for.

I remember many moons ago people liked having a pop at you for your opinions.
It did seem uncalled for and I'm sure there was a lot of sheep mentality in play at that time.

I am not good at blindly following the shepherd so treated you with respect.....as an individual the same as I like to think I treat everyone . You reciprocated and that was good for me. I have seen in you the attributes of a person I like to call friend.

Now leave the dogshite on the grass and come on in to play :)

I think that might've been part of the problem! ;) I did have a vino or two last night (but I wasn't :drunk: ... honest Guv!) and it relaxed my normal ability to ignore these things. :wacko:

And cheers to you too, Lesley. :thumb:

Thanks Sue. :hug:

It was only triggered by one comment, but was a build up of various things involving various people over several months. Don't worry, I'm seeing it in the light of the day today and have put it all behind me. :thumb:

Glad to hear that neither you or Bix are letting this crap stop you as I for one would miss your help. I have never been on the receiving end of the nastiness on these forums but have seen some very unpleasant stuff which has almost put me off posting all together. I often post things and hold my breath waiting for the snipes but people just seem to ignore me (hello who are you? I hear you ask ^_^ ).
I hope that you are feeling better :flowers: (we need a choccie smilie).

God what's happened?!

I've been so wrapped up in assignments that I've not noticed anything amiss.

Really sorry to hear that things have gone awry... PR you've been a great mate to me; I hope you will continue to be a great mate, your help has been invaluable!

Take care.xx

I'd say just ignore the ar******s. They've obviously got nothing more interesting in their lives than to make nasty comments and upset people.

OR

You could arrange for loads of p**n to be sent to their inbox! :D

Think i have the gest of whats been going on !!! ( not the brightest cookie in the jar)
PR your help on here has been invaluable.
When I first thought of coming to oz i found a certain place to visit on the web. Asked a question - and was ultimitely shot down. i felt humiliated, embarrassed and promised I would stay away from such things
Then i came across ABC Diamond. It made me realise that there are genuine people out there who will give you advice and opinions without being nasty. The world is full of a******es who have nothing better to do. Cowardly hiding behind their annonimity
keep up the good work

To be honest, I have no idea who has been upsetting who but from my perspective, it's not those on forums that upset me, it's similar to Bix's situation in that a few I have since met in real life have, to my paranoid little mind, been "vaguely" unpleasant and I get the feeling that they either dislike me a lot, or don't realise they are acting in a totally negative way towards me.

I have always been one to stress about contacting people in case they don't want to know but that is due to one parent not being very good at parenting (that is the most polite comment I have made about my mother ever!!) but probably along with many others on forums feel I can "come out" more behind a computer screen.

I refuse to get upset by people being unpleasant to me on the forums though - then I am able to say "F**k you, I hope I never meet you" and move on :D Wish to god I could do that in real life :rolleyes:

I have a paranoid mind as well, I always wondered whether people like me or not and worry about contacting them too much in case they think "why wont she just sod off"

BUT

Since my last birthday I've decided to stop the paranoia, if people dont like me that's there tough luck, I am who I am and that's it, aint nothing going to change now.

I dont think I "come out" as much on forums as others perhaps becuase I use my real name, if I had my time again I'd pick something more anonymous!!!

LOL - you know it`s funny how we all seem to think along the same lines with the same daft worries!! My problem is that I don`t like to see people upset but don`t want anyone thinking Im a stalker !! :blink: I can sometimes be a bit blunt and I don`t have much patience ^_^
I think this is a good site, I always feel relaxed on here not as if Im going to get pounced on or reading a post and thinking did they mean that nastily or jokingly?? (cos sometimes it depends how you are feeling as to how yuo interperet something)

Well you're the only ABCD forum regular I've met and I think your exactly the same in real life as on here (lovely) and I can honestly say that I don't think you are a stalker or weirdo! :thumb: :lol:

Sorry to hear that both PR and Bix have had some grief. Two of the nicest people I cyber know. And I think that is the thing isn't it? *cyber* know. We don't know what people are like in the real world. I, naiively, assumed that everyone was like me and just posted things from the heart and how they generally are in real life. I like to be open and honest and often have a wicked sense of humour. Unfortunately that has been my biggest mistake and I have been shot down for it. It has sent me scurrying for the hills as I am really sensitive and, by not using an alter ego, I don't have a safe real one to run and hide in. It has been myself that has been vilified and not an alias.

I do not like to see the nice people like PR and Bix being upset by others. These are the kind of people who are supportive, both emotionally and factually, that we need to treasure so that they are around to continue supporting us and other newbies.

I would like to offer three cheers for PR and Bix
