hi i havent been a member long and dont really know anyone, but the peep's i have had contact with all seem very kind helpfull and friendly.i dont agree with something's that go on.(certain peep's being suspended) and i know that if it was fair it wouldnt cause such upset to so many. and if it's not fair then at any time it could be anyone of us. it's a shame that one or a few, can cause such upset to so many nice peep's. last time i was one the board's there was arguing going on, so i stayed of for a while, came back on.. this was going on. there's alway's a bad apple somewhere, and if this is how they get their attention, then i feel sorry for them. coward's never show their face's and they certainly dont deserve anybody's attention hope the nice gr member's enjoy the rest of their day lynn x

i agree whole heartidly with you Elaine!! (Gooner Girl) i stay out of all of this kind of thing, because as an adult i choose not to get involved, not my argument (sorry) but if anyone wants to make assumptions because i am not on here regularly then fine!! whatever makes you happy!!!!!! Helen

Kris You can't say that (If the person who reported was attention seeking) unless the person that reported me for swearing was doing the same thing. I wasn't the only one that swore on your thread, but as far as im aware i was the only one reported

Since posting i've been away from PC, What I put mave have been mis worded / or misinterprited (sp). I thought about deleting my post but it would make the board misjointed. What I was trying to say was that I have noticed that there are some 'regular thread posters' who have made no comment either for or against the incident or the amount of time between the 'crime' and the 'time'. Not trying to point the finger of guilt at anyone for complaining about the 'crime' sam

I am one of the people who doesnt know what Catherine is supposed to have done as my computer was off line at the time due to a house move.I also dont post very often,so if you want to blame me I suppose you will.In the meantime the real offender is most likely laughing their socks off at all this speculation,and they aren't going to admit it are they ??

Kris Report 27 Mar 2007 11:26

I agree Muffy, fingerpointing is wrong. I think that we have seen hurt caused many times by unfounded allegations being flung around this board. No good will come of conjecture - GR will never say who reported it - it's just a shame that the person who was offended by Catherine's remarks didn't just pm her at the time.

Jean Durant Report 27 Mar 2007 11:17

I also agree that just because people are not posting in defense of Catherine does not mean they are guilty. Someone insinuated on a thread last night that if you did not add to support threads you were the guilty party. What a load of old rubbish. That just fans the flames of doubt and mistrust on this board and in some cases it is done so deliberately. Just my opinion:))) Jean.

I have to say that the wrongful finger pointing can be very hurtful. I have been on the receiving end of that and so have a number of my friends. I personally, think it's always best to refrain from accusing or suggesting anything unless you have 100% FACT and I don't reckon that's going to happen in this case cos as has been said GR aren't likely to tell us. I have to say we are in agreement on that point Elaine xx

or it could be somebody trying to cover their tracks by adding to these threads. There is no way of knowing for sure unless GR decide to name and shame which they obviously wont do

Hi Em I agree,Sam silence doesnt mean people think its fair,but cant say it was justified or not as they wasnt involved or even saw it take place, But the complaint to GR should have been questioned by them,,,,,,,, ''''''''''','Why has it taken 6 weeks? to bring this to out attention sorry but in this instance we are taking no action as the matter seems to have been settled without our intervention'''''''''''''''' .

Hayley & Caz - thank you Hayley hun - I wasn't suggesting that you were finger pointing - but there is a sentiment being expressed by others that anyone who is not voicing support or disgust must be viewed suspiciously, and that is not fair xxx
