Welcome to the forum elkie5. Any Govan lassie is alright by me! X
Keep going on here, it is mostly full of great people.

Sorry, yes, of course. Naturally. I thought we'd done the list.
Now, this brother you're so cut up about and who has been consuming your thoughts.
Go on, I frigging dare you.
Fracas - DON'T do this. Not now, really. You are so far up the wrong tree you are shitting acorns.

Boy, am I glad that I joined back in the old days when the troll issue didn't seem to be so virulent. Some of the responses here would have scared me off within a minute.

Even more so if this was a genuine FM who is just getting to know the forum and is actually grieving the loss of her brother.
I am sickened and ashamed by the cynicism some FMs have displayed in this thread. If they are running so scared of a troll that they have to represent themselves in this way when someone reaches out to say hello, then I think they have taken forumming as far as it is going to go for them.

Indeed.

It's an absolute disgrace some of the responses. Who are they to judge if a person is genuine or not.
Hello and welcome to the forum Elkie 
Welcome elkie - hope you enjoy your time here
hello
what does ImI mean? 
I'm really shocked by some of the replies, why would anyone pounce on a new member in such a cynical and unwelcoming way after one message.
Welcome Elkie
Welcome Elkie
I joined just the other day myself. I now wish I hadn't, I don't think I can post along side such nasty people.
Welcome .

Come on over to the irrepressable dark horse thread elkie, you will find the people in there are much more friendly.

TBF, most of the responses here are friendly. The horrible stuff went on last night.
Why assume elkie is female?

Possibly, but s/he will be able to read the rest and hopefully give it another go.
I really hope those few FM's last night haven't scared Elki off. I have been a member of this forum since BB3 and even now there are some FM's who scare me and upset me. I'm disgusted at how this new person has been spoken to. Come back Elkiquote:Originally posted by Triggers:quote:Originally posted by cologne1:

We're not all bad just a few are and that's what the ignore button is for 
I welcome any new member. Everyone should be given a chance. Unless, of course they start flaming and trolling straight away, which elkie has not!
