C'mon, how can anyone be bitching after this? It's just insensitive.

What is it you are reporting??

I haven't been on here all day and I'm replying to SPOT, not you.

Like I said, don't like my posts. Put me on ignore.

For crying out loud, in the light of tonights events, doesn't all this seem a bit pointless now? You wanna rant somewhere, you know where to go.

Are you the moderator here??

I paid for a membership here and all you do is BITCH BITCH BITCH.

Are you in charge or something?

EDIT: If not, STFU!

I have not been here for long but I have witnessed your posts which are at best snarky, at medium quite nasty and at worst, quite attacking. What are you doing here? This is not a place for such vomit type talk.:sneaky:

Trixie has moments. Picking a fight right now is not one of her best.

Thanks spot.

Why would she say stuff like that and the go away for a while? I hope she stays away.

You're right. I'm off guard. I just went away a short time ago to recoup. Thanks:-6

Guys and Gals.....we are lucky here at FG to have created (with the help of Tombstone etc) a cyber world that is so close to the REAL world that we feel we know everyone here....we care deeply about everyone here......we touch the hearts and minds of everyone here.

Whilst I understand that there WILL be disagreements, heated arguments and HOT discussion, I would ask you to bear in mind that most of the time, when you look back, these 'spats' are trivial in the grand scheme of things.

In the real world and cyberland there are tragedies happening,.... people die, have serious illnesses, serious accidents and are embroiled in the daily struggles of living, coping, existing and generally just getting on with life.

There are numerous examples of this at FG and in RL.....yesterday a good freind at work's mother died. Today, a colleagues daughter was told that her baby had died in the womb at 5 months...tomorrow there will be some tragedy or crisis happening to someone else.

Could we THINK before we say / post things that are likely to hurt others or be insulting....is it too much to ask ????

Cher, Unc and everyone else.........I just want us all to live in peaceful co-existence as much as is humanly possible.

On the whole, if we are lucky, our lives are full of love, life and sunshine, and I am personally blessed with the best kids and grandchildren in the world and good health, but every so often some kind of sadness overwhelms us and puts things in perspective....today has been one of THOSE days.

Based on my experiance on being an IRCop for a number of years, I have come to realise that the Internet, as in real life, can be a nasty, unsavory place. Unfortunately, this tends to go hand in hand with freedom of speech. When one person thinks that something they say is in-offensive, then quite often and indeed is often the case, other people find offensive.

I feel that freedom of speechis what makes the internet the great place that it is. I think that to enjoy the net, you have to realise that things can be said out of place, slander can be slung and insults fly. Just like real life.

And, just like real life, there are ways to deal with these things: ignore the offenders, report them or sling the mud right back at them. In my experience, a combination of the first two usually works, but the last one nearly allways leads to more heart ache and genuine hurt being done and often leads to a total breakdown of relations and organisations.

like I honestly think could happen to FG.

I've seen it happen before, and sadly, I have no doubt I will see it happen again. Come on people, I know that people have been emotionally hurt, but, unless you want this beautifull place, FG, to fall apart and, on a more personal level, the same thing to happen, then I urge you all to consider what I have said and try and work things out.

Be strong.....and remember....

The wopster loves you all;):)

Wop did you say you used to be a plod

do tell us more .
