I agree 100% with you Sue!
The only reason I decided to stop hodling back on the send button was so that others knew there was actually people out there who had a different opinion to the ones forced down our throats on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong I also chose to ignore stuff I dont want to read, but thats not quite the same as being able to ignore people patronising others etc... Like a few have said bullying exists on many different levels, its just some are on a much more obvious level. Doesnt make these people the only ones in the wrong.
Wonder if tink had many votes for you being next to post Sue

I actually wrote 2 posts in reply to that post and deleted them, wonder how many others did that as well for fear of rocking the boat. Is that what a lot of you want? a forum full of people who have to think twice before posting? I'm sure the list of who was to post next wouldnt be so obvious if everyone felt they could express an opinion. As it is, maybe its obvious because theres only a few who feel able to say how they feel. Seems theres a lot who will agree with one half of the forum, while the others who agree with the rest are afraid to post for what ever reason. Also I now know this isnt just how I feel after having many people tell me this is also how they feel, but are afraid to say it.
