It's a sign someone is losing it........

Name calling is a sign someone has lost it and can't reasonably justify themselves are put into words
(suitable) their opinions - it's fustration


I find I'm calmer on here than is real life to be honest - because I can review what I'm saying before posting, in real life it just comes straight out without chance to review

Maybe they are lonely and these boards are their "reality"

Or just as unpleasant in real life as they are on here...............I am not the most observant person in the world, but can name 2 members who only ever pop up on threads where trouble is brewing.

Strange.................but true!

Of course Jean,no problem..but I also hope people see hurling name calling as abuse&bullying aswell,

Why on earth do people do it,,,anyone got an answer,?~

Jean you are right

But an individual can bully as can a group

The problem starts when friends are sticking up for friends without sitting back and taking stock of the situation first.

If people sat back and reviewed posts first than perhaps they would think twice before jumping in all guns blazing even if their friends are the one's firing the bullets.

****top tip****
Type a post and preview before submitting - and ask yourself the following

"how would I feel if I recieved that post or if someone I cared about recieved it"

If you would be happy then submit - if not delete

Jean, i second you on that

Kay....

Perhaps our ideas of bullying are different...but to me when a gang of people get together and hurl abuse at another that is bullying.

Just my opinion but one I am entitled to I hope.

I dont think its bullying its ridiculing people,,and that also is unacceptable,it solves nothing only brews resentment,

Its like trying to shove *rubbish*up a ladder trying to appeal for people to act with some form of adulthood,!

If you look at any other site that has moderators you don't see any nastiness or if you do it is short lived.

GR is one on it's own - I've been here for four years and nothing changes, no matter how many leave or how many join it carries on and always will until GR stand up and say enough is enough - just suspending or banning doesn't help as we all know that people come back under new names.

I agree with the need for moderators.................shame that a tiny minority keep dragging up the past isn't it.

Well it seems as if all the threads various people put up about love and peace amount to nothing but a hill of beans....so perhaps you are right Jessie.

Jean I think it proves...............

That this site needs moderators, It needs to be monitored 24/7

Well if this thread doesn't prove who the bullies on this site are nothing will.

Jean.

Oh dear oh dear, did Nurse Ratchit forget to medicate her noble wannabe pmsl...

Mick lol
Dream on:)

Wow _ I've always wanted to join a coven!

Isnt that where everyone dances around
an altar in the nuddy??

Sounds like just the job for me!

xxxxx mick

Very well said there.
Ron is not one to be targeted if i see it & so what if he has had odd scrap.Its far more less than many i have seen on this site !
Or i hasten to say wish to see again with respect.
Will also add that it takes more than one to argue as well.

But I know nothing of her departure.

Believe it or not, I do not glue myself to this site every minute of every day.

So why did this departing member feel the need to nudge up an old thread before she left.

And why did a myriad of this departing member's friends feel the need to heckle me on this Board for catching up with threads that I have previously posted to.

Perhaps someone can tell me what is going on here ................. or at least explain to their fellow members why they are so intent upon spewing out venom and insults to anyone who they take a dislike to.

Cheers Pippi lol Good Night
Liz ok :) Night too

ignore him Sylvia,people like him get a thrill out of a reaction,it aint worth it! now i really gotta go to bed,take care,

will just pass Wild Cat a bullet proof vest,just in case,goodnight
