	Yes Sylvia I think it was Estelle who confirmed that because it is a public board, non members can read but not comment, however, they can RR posts they find 'offensive'. Which would be fine if the boards were monitored properly and posts restored that had been RRd for mischievous reasons.

	To be honest, that post probably did warrant an rr, I was being a bit spiteful and I could have worded it more kindly. However the point I was trying to make was that I was quite pleased to be standing apart when everybody rounded on Rollo. It is fine to state your point or dissatisfaction at a post or even better, to properly argue the point but, once the opening post has been rr'd and it is not possible to remove it, I think it might be bullying to turn on the poster.

	Well whatever happened just glad to see you back Sharon. You have always been upfront and don't give a toss about anybody :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

	Far too much so for my own good! I don't mind being rr'd then and try to apologize once I realize what I have said then but don't like it much when I am making the effort to try to be inoffensive. Then it's a waste of bloody effort!

	Good to see you posting again Sharron. Hope that you had a great birthday without any (unwanted) drama. I have never thought your posts to be offensive (perhaps i missed them lol). Just give your point of view," without fear or favour" I sometimes get a little tetchy when Roll gieves his point of view or airs his considerable knowledge. But have now perfected the art of shrugging my shoulders. (does wonders for a stiff neck) Take care of yourself.
