Elaine is upset because ,due to all the nasty postings,,,her 'thank You' thread was deleted. All she wanted was the chance to thank those of us who have supported her, Its a damn shame when she cant do that without a load of whingers having a go.

Can't blame her being upset, Can't even have a nice gesture like a THANK YOU thread being left that way but it gets hijacked, what a shame, and very pathetic, I reckon. Thanks for the nice gesture Elaine x. Pat x

new bloke eh? One who claims to have "watched the boards" and has only just joined. Why has he joined...oh yes....to slander myself and other members. He claims to be in touch with other members...HOW? you have to be a member to mail other members. Or did he come from another site with the intention of causing trouble...I think so. Lets get the facts...he knew a lot about a lot of us. No one gets the full picture of people unless they have spoken to them/had a fall out with them/discussed things with them, No new member who knows very little would SLANDER us to the extent he had gone to. blaming myself & others for people leaving. Without having indepth knoweledge of what he was talking about. Funny thing is though, the people who have left are all members of the "other site". Some have recently returned to Genes. I notice their names cropping up when trouble occurs. I also noticed on my thank you thread, that many people who replied also are members of this other site. Many havent posted on here for ages. If that doesnt sound like a set up, what does? Im not in the wrong here, over 200 positive replies and emails prove that Elaine x

elaine dont get yourself in a state , let him go , in fact i think he has, since linda and bendy put their two very sad threads on it seems to have had an impact on the spitefulness, i thought they didnt have the heart to feel the sadness everyone else felt for the people involved in the situations, maybe they have got bored ,

At the risk of being shouted down or ignored (or worse) I think some members of this site are becoming paranoid. If you don't like a thread - simple - ignore it. Sticks and stones and all that! Why give the troublemakers the satisfaction of knowing they have upset you. By responding you are bringing yourself down to their level. Let's try and get back to friendly postings. Smile :o) 'Tis the season to be jolly..................... Love Sue xx
