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

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:))

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..

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))

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

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.

So many people over here instead of general tops, and I rarely get to talk with them cos they aren't up the same time as me lol
Don't mind how people talk as long as they aren't being nasty.

I've been around for a day or two. I have been Ellan for quite a while too, although with different 'extra bits' from time to time.
Those of you who have been fortunate (?) enough to meet me in person will know that I am the same on or off the boards. No lies, subterfuge or ill-intent and a total nutcase!
If people choose to post in a particular style which I do not enjoy reading I will try to avoid looking at those threads. Everyone is entitled to post here and as long as there is no evil intent involved, I am happy to just rub along with them.
The thing to which I do take exception is the practice of being sweetness and light in public, whilst stirring trouble behind the scenes. I personally will not become involved in any exchanges by PM, I have witnessed the trouble that can be caused by such exchanges. I have had people trying to play mind games with me and for a while they succeeded in confusing me. Now I just ignore anything of that nature, life is too short.

Have a good day everyone xxx

well said Ellan, I have known you long enough to know you are you!!
I had head games by pm's as well! so I decided not to post for a while, I wonder if this is why the board is so quite?

Yes, there is a tremendous amount of sickly sugary sweetness concealing bile, lol.

Thats for sure. A whole host of mother teresas and mary poppins masks.
