The problem seems to be that old members come back with new names .............new and old have multiple accounts and there is a whole underworld of pm's flying round as we speak.

Some members have more than one face and that is where trust is lost..............it's difficult not to be on your guard on here sometimes and life's too short to get caught up in other people's silly games.

I apologise profusely..................I didn't mean to imply it was new members only using two or more accounts.

Multiple accounts for differing board identities (for the wrong reasons) have not been confined to just new members.

Longer standing members, and those inbetween have been known to post under differing guises to cause upset.

I havent posted much lately as to be fair, the boards have been for me slow and uninteresting, and I havent really found anything to post myself which could make much differance .

Its just my opinion :o))

So is it only the "new" members who are posting on more than one account?

Everyone is different, 3rd party speaking doesn't bother me, if I don't like a thread I don't read it.

I'd rather the sugar than the vitriole..

Hello Lin.................I haven't been about as much as before, for lots of reasons.

One of which is the undertone that runs through the boards of not knowing who is who anymore.

Nothing against new members, but the few who have been posting on more than one account make me uneasy about joining threads.

Too much sugar is very bad for me anyway:))

Hiya Lin, no need to apologise, you are just commenting on a new "style" which seems to have sprung up! lol I still skim over the threads which never interest me, and comment on just a few. :-)) BC XX

~~~~~~~ to all...just seen this Lin...each to their own is my opinion...I personally find it a little difficult to read the ''third person'' posts but what I don't like I don't read. We are all differant and free to be so...

~~I put it down to...people from all different walks of life..different personalities..different ages..We all have a different perspective on looking at things..as a consequence of our life experiences...
As in life..there will be clashes..diiferences of opinion..which causes debate..sometimes..`conflict`
I purposely did not come on here yesterday..my brain was..overloaded!

This board sometimes `mirrors`..what is happening out in real world..its not ALWAYS sweetness and light..I am not an `oldie`..this is when we start to divide..and put `labels` on people..
harmony is a difficult thing to master..sign of the times..~~

I have to admit I find reading those posts very difficult. Might be my age, might be my dying brain cells, might be cos life's too short!

Hi Lin, I see what you mean but some of we oldies are still around and posting. I have learnt to accept changes and try to ignore the niggles that bother me (putting it down to being a grouchy old woman). Personally I would rather see sugary posts than some of the evil ones of the past.

Just have to mention one of the ways of speaking that really grates with me though. Why do people ask a question when they are stating a fact? Not just on here but in the media too. why do they say 'how good is this?' when they mean 'this is good'?

Hi Lin
I think some of the oldies dont post anymore coz some just dont like change.
There are still alot here , but they only post on peoples threads that they know and feel comfy with.
There will always be new members and changes , something we all have to get used to it lol
Have a good day :-)

I have been away from the internet since last Thursday evening.

Once upon a time, after not having visited the site for such a length of time, there would have been more than a hundred pages of threads to skim through. However, this morning, I only had to whiz through less than 30 (this applies to the general board).
