but I miss these boards. and some of the lovely people on here. I was intending to stay off for about 5 months, I prob won't be missed but wot the hell. I found it hard to add to threads at times, but the e-mail I had from Honey, made me realise why should'nt I stay on here. I have been a member on here more than a lot of you and I shouldn't take things personal. So I will join in but maybe not as much. catherine xx

Hi Caz, I was a little dissilousioned if that is the right spelling, from certain threads that I though were about a debate for everyone. Only to generally not personallly be classed as a racist. I also got an e-mail about a nudge asking me to delete it. In fact caz the only reasone the e-mail was nudged was beacause of your benefit, but I thought it wasn't great. The manner in which the e-mail was sent. But I do miss coming on here and having a chat, having working all day like many do, it's a chance to unwind and relax. I just hope me posting tonite is not going to cause any unwanted threads. For those that have met me, you know I am not one to stirr up problems. catherine xx

Attagirl!! Don't know what happened but you hang in there. It can be a bit daunting on here and I tend to write and rewrite my replies so much that the subject has changed totally by the time I get round to sending them!! I also tend to take things personally and that is really daft - must stop it! Christine xx

Catherine, sorry you have been upset, I am afraid that you have to develop a thick skin on here if you can. If anyone starts a debate on here it is certainly open to all, everyone is entitled to their opinion and all opinions are valid. Don't stop posting. Ann Glos

thankyou everyone. It's difficult sometime to try and remain as balanced as a you can. I offered my opinion on wot I hought was a great debate, to only be accused of a racist, not personally might I add. But I found the thread upsetting my fight on the thread afterall was about women. I also received an e-mail asking me to delete something which was of the benefit of another board member in what I thought could have been put nicer. So after being on here a number of years I felt the boards have changed I remember it when it was Genes Connected and not Reunited. Sometimes I feel the people ont heses boards think THEY are GR. catherine xx
