Sorry David I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular in my last post. Its been far more than a couple of people who have 'Been leaving'. in the few years I've been using these boards. Please don't read between the lines, there is nothing there ! Elaine x

I agree and now can see the wiseness in the saying of: Never air your dirty laundry in public I'm sure sometimes people may think a problem shared is a problem halfed........ but many of us are complete strangers and no matter how much one hides behind a 'nic name' others will come to know you in time . I am sure. Surely some very sensitive matters should be dealt with within a circle of trust made up of friends and families......... not on a public board for all in sundry to see and pass judgement etc etc. As for those threads that start with' I'm leaving ' I'm afraid I have no time anymore to read , comment or indeed buff ones ego in asking them to stay ........... go if you like, stay if you like but for goodness sake I prefer period drama series on my TV far more entertaining. ( Drama queens or children with a strop? no idea which category but it's oneof them) much happiness Debi ( always using her own name )

Elaine Isn't that last post just asking for trouble? It comes across as if you are hinting at people you don't get on with. Why not just ask the person who's bugging you why they've done it?

Oh and i forgot, another pet hate of mine People who are brassed off over something, Put up a huge whining IM LEAVING thread, make it gather enough replies over say 2 days, then announce they are staying. Why not just leave in those circumstances instead of making a show of it. Don't they realise how desperate they sound for the sympathy vote ? (not the people who are leaving for a good reason I may add...and who DO leave) Elaine x

I have to agrea that we need to be careful , it is a board viewed by the world, so especially things posted in a real name...think carefully as it may come back, like today when you don't expect it. It is tempting to be open when troubled, but before anyone presses the button to post...think...think again....and be careful xxx

Following on from the upset Emmababy has just experienced, Due to an old personal thread coming back to haunt, People should think twice when posting such personal details of their lives. Lately we have had broken marriages, affairs, people threatening to leave home etc. Even worse, people ask advice on very serious matters, where the wrong advice can make or break. All very private....but made very public. I'm not against people asking for a hug, advice on trivial matters or someone to talk to, but spare the details, if you must disclose juicy details, pm someone you trust. If there's no one who you trust, then don't even dream of placing your life on the boards. As Genes warns... *We would encourage you to think carefully before posting personal details on any of the public areas of our site. If you post your telephone number or address you should be aware that this instantly becomes available to everyone who views it. Please do take care. and that folks, includes your private lives.
