Stray - sorry - disagreement is one thing - backbiting etc in my book is bullying no matter which way you dress it up.
Personal comments which you mention is not a disagreement but just such another incident of bullying.

I heard you Dizzi and I am most impressed. Ignore the others!!

it is hard somtimes to ignore comments, about or aimed at yourself,
i do think somtimes the word "bully" is banded about too much, especially on here, as a disagreement is not bullying,

dont know why your other thread should have gone, it was ok last i seen hun,

For whatever reason my previous thread was whooshed, I still do believe we should not give in to bullying whether it is in the school, workplace or on internet. Perhaps on internet is worse as it is not face to face and therein lies the answer - all bullies are cowards at heart. So if you want GR to be spoiled (it already has been from what it was years ago) then do not do anything. If this a lifeline to you for whatever reason and a chance to chat, exchange views and have a laugh - then stand up - you pay your subs. Bullies like attention they are attention seeking so if they post argumentatively - IGNORE it. Can be hard to do. As I said before I fought hard for my life last year and am virtually housebound now and need the chatline for friendship and I am not the only GR member in this position.
