I wouldn't (with indisputable evidence!) have the slightest difficulty in naming and shaming. I can live without GR! Bev x

Well, I know who hooded claw is and that the person who used that name has at least 2,possibly 3 accounts,and a person close to them has an account possibly 2 aswell....my membership runs out in 2 days so no loss,and havent forgotten how they upset a good friend in jess............. (goes away and muses)

http://groups*msn*com/GRLot/_whatsnew.msnw Last night anyone could look in but they've since learnt their lesson and made it members only. I must stress that not ALL of the suspended lot are involved in this sick stunt. Becx

I have tried to keep my fingers off the keys.....but my view for what it is worth....trying to see sides as usual so going to upset everyone. OK....first ...over the year I have been on GT...I have watched Elaine and certain others, give their view so forth rightly that at times it has been almost pointed and vicious. I have cringed at the things said at times. On a personal level I have never had a single problem with Elaine, or a cross word, sometimes I think she has got herself in trouble for jumping to defend or back up a friend, who she is fiercley loyal to, she ends up taking the flak herself. So I wont be two faced and say Elaine is perfect cos she hasn't always been nice. Right the suspended.....some of them I would have thought ok before....but I can tell you one thing worse than fighting to the death as Elaine would....is a gang....I never liked that at school.....I don't like it now. If I had any run in with anyone I would deal with it myself...I might not be big...but I am an individual and refuse to be scared by gang mentality. But also on this.....maybe in not such a planned way as this other site....how many of us would stand alone at risk of being alienated....or would you need friends to back you up to be brave enough? I deplore the singling out of Elaine, and hate what has been done and said, but like I said I wont patronise her by making out she should be given a sainthood either. I just wish everyone would think before they presss send....I am not always right...I am not perfect...but best thing is...I know it. Have a good day everyone XXX

Count me in as well I have been sat back for a few weeks now watching this all unfold - I will happily name and shame - they thought they were been so clever and using other names - how wrong and how pathetic are you?? Joanne

Bec Perhaps you could tell us which members have NOTHING to do with it. As it stands, they're all getting tarred with the same brush, and it would be terrible if the innocent ones got dragged into it

Please see my thread before it gets zapped!

We can all have our disagreements on here but to verbally abuse someone continually as they have done is appauling ... cowards and scum ...not worth the others I could call them!! Anne:))

Can I just say I didn't expect this - I was willing to take an 8 week ban but would hate to lose my membership completely. I agree with Lemon - I too have seen 2 sides to Elaine but no-one deserves this and these people need to realise they can't get away with what they have done. Can I also say that not all 8 members who were banned are involved in this so let's not tar them all with the same brush - I have had a PM from one of them and I believe her. Debby

Lets be very careful we don't turn this in to another gang mentality thing.....if we do....are we any better? A stand alone to be counted Lemon...I wont do gangs in any shape or form XX

I have been a coward in the past and ducked quietly out of a thread where I saw someone being 'bullied'... but I now think things have gone too far and it is time to stand up and be counted. Jean x.

Very wisely written lemon one..........I don't think even our Elaine would like this to be a witch hunt............. however I will avoid those that I have seen verbally attack others from now on..........and as for those degenerate misfits who started and/or added to the vile website that was started a wide berth indeed will be given!!

Ditto Jean! Count me in too. Daisy

Lemon The voice of reason as always! However, this is not gang mentality as I also hate that. This is standing up to people who have gone way too far - only on here on a daily basis to cause trouble - no other reason. I and no doubt many others are sick to the back teeth. They think we're stupid and don't know that some of them are banned members - well we do know! Debby

I can't abide bullies and if i knew who they were i would happily stand up and be counted, sadly i am as ever in the dark, lol
