I don't come onto the boards as often as I used to. But lately, it would seem that there are a growing number of threads that have negative things to say about other posters.

Why does it seem to be like this?

Often, I am happy to read what appear to be happy threads, only to find that someone feels it is necessary to add a nasty message, to an otherwise, happy, upbeat thread.

I can appreciate that there are certain comments have been said and exchanged, on other threads, but, do these altercations have to be carried on?

Just had to get this off of my chest.

I agree but if every person who posts here posts a positive thread about someone will that change everything ?


I will start

pmsl sorry but I find this quite funny that you are saying about all the negative comments on the boards making you not wish to post then you put up a negative thread which in turn invites negative comments

sorry just my daft humour again lol

The secret is to turn a negative into a positive Gail.......there are far more positive posts than negative ones.

Good to see you on here:)

sorry some of that may have been down to me.
What really set me off (and i 'mthe most laid back person i know)
is somebody calling me stupid in or rather suggested it .
Any way the thread has vanished overnight (suprise suprise ).
but it was ok for this person (maybe to spout vitriolc remarks ).
a case maybe for dish it out but can,t take it.
there again i could be totaly wrong bt i don,t think so.
anyway a good thing it,s gone co's they where really beginning to p**s me off and that really takes somedoing..

Igor I haven't posted other than this evening for months so whatever has happened I don't know nor want to know other than to support Gail in her wish for positive threads.

I now bow out of this thread as I would prefer not to get drawn into anything on here.
