Hi I think it was you when I posted about e mailing a friend as I did not like her going on about predjudices, and felt I had to tell her, was it you said you had a similar problem, cos if it was I will update on what happened

I would like to know if your 'friend' got back to you. So many threads start up but no one lets us know the ending - happy or not. Hope you got things sorted.

She has not emailed me back, and we were in touch every day. Still think I needed to tell her how I felt, but looks like she doesnt want to know anymore. I think it was you who said you were in a similar situation with a friend, just a warning incase you lose your mate, it seems its ok for some people to express their opinion as long as you dont say anything even if you dont agree ? spelling? Shame I like her too apart from that, but have got back to her and she is not responding

Glynis, I have to say I don't think I could be very good mates with someone who was overly prejudice, no matter what you should be able to express your opinion as your friend certainly expressed hers enough, your friend is very vocal in her opinion, so she should be prepared to read or listen to others opinion, doesn't mean she has to agree if she doesn't like what you are saying it's not your fault and she cannot be much of a friend if she thinks she can say what she likes to you and yet will not listen to your side, maybe it is a shock to her and she will be in touch with you. I wouldn't be too upset Glynis I think you have done the right thing. All the best Pat x

Thanks Pat, to be honest I would have felt better if she had just come back and told me to beat it (being polite there), but just ignoring me makes me feel I did not know her as well as I thought, and for her to be so strong in her opinions she has surprised me. Just shows you never know how folk will react. Never mind
