That thread and others like it, are the main reason for me leaving GR when my membership of 3 years runs out 1st June. Julie

Julie don't let the likes of him/ her? drive you away. There are more of us nicer people ( wel I hope I can say I am a nicer one LOL) on here than the baddies. I did think about it amyself a few weeks ago when there was a lot of agro on the board but then thought Hey I like my chats and if I feel down I can come on here for a while. Just some sad people about. Perhaps we should feel sorry for them Please reconsider. Germaine x

Hi Em & Germaine I also have lots of stress & worries re hubbys forthing major operation to deal with, I no longer find it relaxing to come on the boards, they just wind me up or make me sad, so I am taking a break, thanks for your comments though, I will miss the two of you and your friendship Julie x

Hi Julie, I understand why you are going but I really hope it's temporary. I'll miss you on the boards. I think a lot of us have thought about going in the last few months but if we do we leave the bullies win. Please come back when R is better and stay in touch by email Gwynne

Flora isnt a bully - he is an attention seeking twit! he came on, seeking attention , and got it. the thread didnt go the way he planned,so he orchestrated it.must have been laughing his little socks off. he is a man with one heck of a problem, not to mention personality disorder! Update : because i've been thinking about this. No-one actually HATEs Flora - just the persona that they present - nobody ( i doubt) knows Flora . Flora has choices, she makes her bed ,she lays in it. ------------------- Julie he'll be fine , its hard when those we love undergo such things - talk with us when times are hard, please dont go Jess

Oh NOOO not Flora x again What did I miss ??? The last I heard of Flora x 'it' (i say 'it' because I dont know what sex it is) had a thread up about being a new / old member, and it caused suspicion. clearly whoever it is has shown their true colours now....... and maybe those who wanted to take 'It ' at face value and scorned others for getting miffed, will now understand why.

Well ive found and read the thread It diddnt take this new/ *OLD member (* by admission) long did it. Brian, I think you were very noble in your actions in defending this member, you did as 'It' asked and took 'It' at face value. Sadly your suspicions are correct...you have been used. I would also look back at some of the entries from people who you thought were attacking 'Flora' ...and who you got cross with. Its just the case that they sussed the bad penny so to speak before you did. Its not worth falling out with other members over this person, as sadly, I feel from the start, this has been this persons intentions Elaine x

To be honest Jean Ive not posted as much as I used to, im very hesitant now because im sick of being jumped upon by trolls. I do pop in and out of here, but because of these trolls, this board is going down fast. There has always been conflict on here, but of late its got so juvenile and childish, with people posting filth and nastiness, and the same people get volatile if someone take offence at it ( they think they are above genes T & C and board rules, and whoever disagrees with them are always in the wrong, so are bullied) I'm also sick of brand new members who rejoin under a false name, then shout they have done so because they are an old member, then they play a guessing game and wont reveal who they were....which stirs up bad feeling...and they know it. It brings up suspicion from those who have been hurt on here. im fed up with all the games people play...and these are not fun games.

A very nasty piece of work whether it is a he or a she or an it. And what a great pity that people are afraid to post because of this nastiness. But if all the nice, good, fun people stop posting then these morons will win. And that would be a pity. The GR General Board has always been a very special place to enjoy. Let us all try and keep it that way. BC
