To whom it may concern

What a horrible thing to do to anyone. Hope you're ok.

Thanks jings, although I think the "why" is pretty obvious, as in wanting to jeopardise my job, although the other "why" as in why would anyone want to do something so nasty, is still a bit beyond me

Still, as they say "nowt so queer as folk"

Glad all is ok though. (Might have done some good. Got a cerain message across!)

Crikey! (north of the border) I dunno why. Just so far away. It's weird.
Why?!!!

Oh I see. Sorry, I'm too damn nosy for my own good!

The postmark is only proof of where the missive was posted, though.

Well, it is only fit for the litter tray, but it is quite scary all the same.
Big Brother (or Sister) and all that

When I say "letter", I mean that it was sent in the post.

There was an additional page with a typed comment.

And isnae Perth Granny either

Was there a letter as well, then? I thought it was just a copy of a thread.

Wisnae me neither, phoenix. I can't imagine any of the Scottish grans that I have met would have done such a thing, or any whose posts I have read. It must have been someone completely outside Gransnet, one of those trolls who occasionally appear and stir up trouble.

Lining the litter tray is the best place for it. Put it out of your mind.

best place for it under the shit litter

The "incident" happened more than a week ago, and all is fine, thanks.

In case anyone is wondering, the letter was given to me, and after much deliberation, I decided to keep the envelope.

The contents are currently helping to line the cat's litter tray

A Scottish gran? Well it wisnae me. I'd be black affrontit to dae sicca thing!
Just hope all OK at your work.

Hope everything went all right at work

Just got home, thank you all so much for your support, it is appreciated.

Charleygirl , re the postmark, yes, the city was identified, let's just say it was North of the border.

I think (with many others) it's bl...y appalling.
It's shocked me.

That's a bit scary.

for p. Only joking.

I expect phoenix is at work at the moment. Hopefully.

Not sure whether it was anything to do with employment now, with other threads having been mentioned!

They did not have the guts to PM you to tell you what they thought, whatever that was. They had to carry out such a sly, underhand method which clearly did not have the desired effect as I believe that you are still employed. It must hurt like hell to think that someone out there feels like that about you when you have done no wrong as far as I know and the vast majority of GNs have enjoyed your humour and writing style.

Just catching up now - Phoenix - this is awful! I know you're brave and are sort of laughing it off, but it must hurt. Cannot believe anyone could be so unpleasant. xxx

I agree with MiniMouse do not let the **er get you down

phoenix what a truly awful experience. It's been a wake-up call for me - and some others, I should think! I'm very careful about what I put on GN, but it would never have occurred to me that someone would think of doing what they've done to you.

You've risen above so much in the past, so flutter your wings once more

You don't have to be a member of GN to read the posts as Bellanonna said. I would hope like everyone else that we are kind and caring and not a vindictive lot.
