ELEGRAN

Hilda how did you know if they were going to be pleasant or not the first time they asked to PM you?

I suppose we could have a blocking system if there was someone we didn't want to hear from? What would be the repercussions of that?

It read like a good example of solid GN advise delivered without rancour. I'm sure that JO is quite able to accept others opinion as well dole it out.

Movedalot, have only had a few PMs in here - they have always refered to something I have said in a thread, have not really had anything out of the blue. I think what I am trying to say is that it would be nice to be asked if someone wants to discuss something - a sort of invitation. I think I am probably out of my depth here - seems some folks have been having serious conversations for quite sometime.

I have now skimmed read it Elegran. It's patronising, lecturing, and completely unnecessary. I don't know why you sent it. For one thing, you could have said it all me online. Why didn't you do that?

Because I wanted the online thread to come to a halt, not meander on. I did explain that, both in the pm and on the thread.

PLEASE FOLKS let it go I implore you. There is more to life.

Richard third is on 4 now!

I have had some lovely supportive p messages, but gosh after being away weekend wonder what on earth is going on?

Is nasty to think of trolls joining under different names, but I do know this happens as have been involved all I can say is what a pity they have so little in their lives to want to waste time doing this?

2 ladies from the other forum joined here few months ago to cause trouble but it was nippped in the bud fortunatley.

It was necessary. I needed to say it, and you needed to hear it.

If you didn't understand the basic principle, then you needed the lecture.

If you feel patronised, that is your feeling. When you say something to anyone else which makes them feel hurt, it always surprises you that they took it so badly - you did not mean them to feel hurt. Well, I did not mean you to feel patronised, so I am not going to agonise if you do. Your problem, get over it.

You wanted to embarrass me publicly by falsely implying that I had been nasty/unfriendly to you in a PM. I have survived that. You will survive too.
