Not a thread about a thread

I couldn’t agree more Bluebelle.
Gransnet was shown at its best, people giving the benefit of the doubt to posters we didn’t recognise, giving time and sympathy, giving helpful advice and most of all not making any judgement.
Such a shame that a few decided to use the GNHQ panic button and perhaps deprived others of important advice and, even more importantly, the knowledge that Gransnet is a good place to come if you are in trouble.

Also, as has been said before, whether the OP I’d genuine or not, others may benefit from the advice and suggestions given?

I give posters the benefit of the doubt even if a post sometimes seems a bit dodgy as I would hate to miss someone genuine.
Those who get a kick out of winding us up are to be pitied. Must have boring lives.

No it’s not a thread about a particular thread but in the last few days we ve had two threads removed, people with stories wanting either advice or sympathy or both
One was fairly obviously the other not so much and it involved a lot of people giving heartfelt feelings and well thought out advice taking time and effort to offer links organisations to help etc it could have involved posters empathising by offering their own stories I don’t think it did

This post is mainly to help new member or those that don’t post much who may think we re a hard lot
We aren’t a hard lot but we do need to make sure we are not taken advantage of and taken the ‘p’ out of

Just be aware some people do seem to get a kick out of doing this
