Since I am one of the lassies of Lancashire, and one of the instigators of this poll, I feel duty bound to point out to other members whilst discussing this matter with my learned colleague (don't swap hot pot recipes) of the amount of abusive threads over the past few months, some of which have been highly offensive, trish and I have often discussed the mentality and obviously determined attempts to offend. I had observed tonight the personal attacks on trish about non english speaking members, this was uncalled for as our original thread was "whats the best way to deal with abusive posters?" not one particular poster and she adhered to that the all way through the thread. Never once mentioning anyone's name, not to mention the tirade of certain members who is full of mind, the debate was up for grabs and the poll showed the response fully that abusive posters should be ignored, I feel truly sorry for trish having to take the brunt of accusations which I can assure you couldn't be further from truth, and I was not around to take some of the flak myself

Thanks Di, coming from somebody who really knows me, this makes me very happy hug

But dont worry for me, my shoulders are pretty strong and I can take it dancing

I guess its like Indy says above, dont take it to heart - and I dont so no problem grin

I do have to say though, some accusations were totally unfounded - so what !!!!! - "to each (his) their own its plain to see" (Song by America) dum de dum de dum de dum..................................

awwwww, shucks blushing rolling on the floor laughing

sod it all Di, Im bored with this now and I know that you know me well enough to not accuse me of making this thread to stir it - but to find a solution.

It is confusing to think that anybody who thinks they know me could think I would be so mean - but hey ho - on we go laugh

...and unfortunately, there are always a few who know how most feel, but will defend his right to offend and abuse, their favourite cliche being that those are relative terms and it is "we" who are abusing that "person" as before...

hugs for that person


A clue(s) might be obtained through the screen name of the person to perhaps in another re-incarnation, as to whom they show gratitude for being on his side...any cryptologists/psychologist around ??
I must say that I don't understand the reluctance to ban this cretin once and for all...as that person is back again...
