A suggestion - everyone that wants to have a go at each other could sign up for SKYPE....it's a free way of talking to each other via the internet and only needs a set of headphones with a mic.

You can then thrash out your differences in private.

My guess is that if you actually TALK to each other and realise that there is actually a living, breathing, person on the other end, you may feel differently.....maybe :-3

I like most. I think most like me. The ones that don't like me are probably most like me. So most like me except if they're most like me.

When the groups started, I joined a ton of them just because I thought it would be fun.

After a few days, I stopped posting in all of them. I didn't see the purpose in it.

And here's a funny thing: I 'applied' to be a member of one of the private gossip groups (back when I was joining them all), and I was *rejected* -- it seemed that the members of that group thought I was too friendly with everyone and wouldn't keep the 'secrets' of the group.

I think that was the best thing that ever happened to me

I also was told that I was referred to as a 'brownnoser' in one of the clandestine groups.

It seems that niceness and kindness are traits that are not appreciated by all.

Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that there are some folks who must put a derrogatory label on me and my character traits -- perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves to put me down.

I'm happy with who I am and how I treat people.

Can you all say that? :-6

I'm totally shocked Cher.........but maybe not ,as some time ago we had a so called discussion about 'niceness' and us 'nice guys' were pilloried, ridiculed and scorned.

I too am happy with who I am and how I treat people....The disappointment comes when we don't get treated the same.......but hey...."what comes round goes round" so they say !

:-4 :-4

I didn't get involved in the groups and now I am eternally greateful :-3

Out of the way ..Big bitch coming through .

For the record i stated in my private group that i disliked three people here and there were another three i made reverence too,to public sucking up . Now if this makes me number one bitch here - so what ..i can live with that . Of the people i dislike ive made no secret of the fact so didn't say anything they didn't know . Now for the record no body was recruited - i invited no one . People joined of their own free will and stayed of their own free will . There are 27 groups,i don't see anyone else being attacked . I have always been honest and upfront. I dare anyone to come here and say they have never in their life said a bad word about another human being , hey ive seen people here do far worse and get away with it .

I'll be answering questions later ..please form an orderly queue .

You have lost your damn mind. You are blowing this way out of proportion. Why would you go insult someone every time you had a problem with them? WHats wrong with venting to your friends about it? What you have is called Anger Management Disorder. Maybe you should sign up for classes. Stop being so confrontational.

Now, give me a million dollars.

You know if people didn't like a good old gossip at somebody elses expence there wouldn't of been 1547 views .

Bez · Post by **Bez** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 9:49 am

Ladies, ladies.....whoa....what's the point in all this...making the same point over and over again.....everyone's got the message ...some people like each other and some don't . Someones feelings have been hurt and someone has betrayed a trust.

Everyone here has a voice and we listen even if we don't agree. Maybe it's time to 'agree to differ'.....all this 'righteous indignation' is tiresome.

If you can't be friends then so be it. That's life .

Let peace return to the garden.....:yh_flower

887 posts, though. Yet who would have thought the group to have had so much blood in it?

But unlike your group which managed to lose over 800 posts within 15 minutes, spot's group has never passed 12 and none of its members even know how to delete a post there.

The point remains that spot's group did in fact go public the moment questions arose whereas yours remained private and continued its incredible weight loss program

I hardly think they need to be found, they are turning up everywhere. Seems like you had less of a leak and more of a river.

If you didn't bother to go and check first then of course it's possible, though somewhat lackadaisical and ostrich-like given the circumstances. "I cant believe there have been that many posts in that group", though - that smacks rather more of deliberate camouflage at the least, or what in some sleazy corners of political spin might be called damage limitation.

Okay I still dont know who to root for. Is someone taking odds on all this. I need to put some cash down on this ordeal. Do I root for the Texans, the Canadians, THe Brits. Come on guys give me a rooting cause. I am not sure who the bad guys are, I know a few good guys but havent figured out if they are in it yet. Now just remember this was a joke. Or you can jump on me for this and I will then know who to root against. Ha:wah:
