Womans Hour

Thanks for the link PECS, this was a new one for me and I've signed up.

I felt bullied and harassed but as usual with this site, the clique moves in. Is it any wonder that people endlessly report that they are afraid to post because of how some older members behave.

Shall I tell the truth then? Shall I admit that I felt just as put down by E's posts as she intended. That I burst into tears several times and felt bullied and deeply upset. That my husband persuaded me to stand up for myself and I tried. Well OK, I am driven away. Going to delete my account now. How very clever some people are, they post and stay just the right side of needling. I tried AND I reported one of those posts but HQ said it was apparently within the guidelines. I am clearly stupid, ineffectual, inarticulate, better off on my own as I usually am. I should have known better than even try to interact. You'll never hear from me again. No wonder people leave this site.

Well, we both have had a post removed, so I am sure you will now feel equal. Mine, which pointed out briefly what you had just posted - ^personally and abusively^- about me and why I wanted it removed has also gone, while yours telling in detail how hurt you felt at my criticism is still there, so the evidence for the future is a little skewed.

So be it.

Now back to good-tempered discussion of the subject in hand.
