It's about time this came up for general discussion, but lets just wait and see just how long it takes for this topic to be either locked or moved to fight club......

I've been a member here for just over a year now and to be honest, i'm utterly disgusted at the way some members of this forum have been allowed to get away with what can only be described as a modern day witch-hunt.

Around here it seems to be open season for picking on CarylB, and not a single thing is done about it. Yesterday was the first time i have seen a moderator step in when Caryl has had abuse hurled at her - and all credit to Diane for doing that. It's about time.

I am saddend by the way that Caryl has been treated here - it makes me wonder should i express my opinions fully and frankly as Caryl does, if i would get the same response as well...

I think what annoys me more is the fact that some people seem to think that this kind of abuse and bullying is acceptable. As Sharon has already pointed out - i wonder if these bullies would be brave enough to say in person, face to face, what they are all too quick to say when hiding behind a computer screen. Somehow i don't think so.

This is the Meat Loaf UK Fan Club. This, in my interpretation, means that this is a place to come and participate in because you are a fan of Meat's. This is a place that is supposed to be enjoyable and fun. This isn't a place where abuse and insults should be thrown at a person just because they have expressed an opinion that you don't happen to agree with. Yes, it's fine to have differences - they are what makes this forum fun, but when what is said becomes nasty and hurtful then that is just plain wrong.

Those people who take pleasure in degrading and insuting Caryl should be ashamed of themselves.You know who you are. This is supposed to be a forum where free speach is encouraged, so lets encourage the free speech, and get rid of the bullying and nastiness. I'm not saying that we should all be one big happy family - i know that will never happen, but it would be good if we could be at least nice to one another.
