hi ms g

i like you, but a thick skin
is your best armour.

and see everything in a funny way -
just in case i say the wrong thing
to some, but right in my eyes

I just come on here to talk about bb and have abit of fun.

Has someone upset you?

I'm not here.

If anyone asks, I'm doing the ironing

You were absolutely lovely to me the other night on the Jade thread so I am angry that you are receiving negative comments. You are one of the really nice people that this forum is full of most of the time and that`s the reason I come here

However, I have come away from some discussions feeling dreadfully hurt, almost bruised with the smart alec comments and remarks when all I have wanted to do was share things and be nice to other fm's. Do I expect too much from a forum?

Aww who upset you? I have had lovely support from everyone on this forum. No one has upset or been mean to me. I am sorry that you have gone through this.

perhaps too sensitive. I'm an awful eejet.

dont let them get to ya holly, most of what is said on here is lighthearted banter, at least I think it is,
ya just have to grow a thick skin, and ya soon learn who to avoid.....or in MY case, go after hehe

OOer! I hope it wasn't me

Don't let them get you down.

I might have ago at housemates but never insult members or make them feel small. There no need for it.

a forum is all about chit chat in general and a bit of heated debate, it would be very boring if everyone agreed on every subject, there are those on here i argue like cat and dog with but i have huge admiration for most of them and i do respect their opinions even if i dont show it on the forum, there are others i never argue with and just enjoy a chit chat, i guess that the way it is for most people.

bozzimacoo speaks a lot of sense.

Just post with the nice FMs and ignore anyone who is unpleasant to you.

YES. Your feelings are your business. If you say silly things expect to be criticised or have the mick taken.

I am a touch concerned that you feel "dreadfully hurt" and "bruised". Aren't you taking it all a little too seriously ?

I think that by being on here we occasionally rub shoulders with people we would normally run a mile from. I love to have a laugh and a debate because R/L is too serious.
Now put yer face straight and don't forget my China Oel, beer, and fags.

That's very sad,that you have experienced such negative things I think everyone will experience such comments, especially when they can be the polar opposite of what others believe. I think that's part and parcel of forum life. Don't take it personally.

Holy Moley...I sound like a real whinging baba. Most of you, and espically those who have responded are absolute pets and are the reason I keep posting.(Just lovely, lovely people) I so love coming on here but I am just got in a complete state when one of the fm's thought I was being patronising when I sympathised with him over a bereavement and it just floored me. His response was OTT and so not necesary.I was stunned at his response. Hubby doesn't approve of these type of forums so couldn't share with him.

Anyhooo, i'm all embaressed now. Love ya all, HollyG
