Never saw what went on last night. but if I don't like whats going on in a thread I stay clear. Like Donna says the good overcome the bad. The majority of people on here are wonderful and you soon get an idea who the trouble makers are.

I tend not to add to 'those ' threads even when a friend might be being attacked ....Why keep it up there ?? any friends that I have made know I will support them .a bit like the good old playtex lol , but I feel there is enough hassle around me with out requesting for more, especially when I don't know what it's about or who's who. So no I stay away and play with the dead, they cause me enough grief but at least they don't answer back!!!!!lol Jac

I look at the board most days and often post on a thread or 2. I don't join in any of the nastiness although I sometimes read through the threads. From my viewpoint - which may be wrong - people oftern overreact to a comment or thread because it is from someone they don't get on with. The others friends join in and it becomes a real mud slinger. If there is something abusive it should go straight to genes and if not, why not just ignore it? It's such a shame as not only does it make the board an unfriendly place but the people involved - on both or however many sides there are,I find it very confusing! - seem to be lovely people most of the time. I don't avoid anyone or anyones thread - I'll post if I'm interested, not because of whose thread it is. Come on folks, let's treat one another as we would like to be treated. Kate

Honesty being the best policy.... I've been a member with GR for about two years and I often scroll through the message board to have a 'nosey' I very rarely post any replies because: There are some people who get offended by other peoples opinions. A lot of the messages are aimed at people you already talk too, and the rest of us have no clue as to their meaning. Also I have seen a lot of bad feelings between some GR members and am not inclined to get involved in such issues. Otherwise GR is a great site. Steph
