Has Community Spirit lost its Community Spirit?
Certainly feels a different place to me

then there are those who would have you believe they are sweet and nice agreeing with just about everyone but sending some disturbing and vile messages ...... 😞
people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones!

In a perfect world where adults participate in a debate it should never end up in the enemy category, should not be reported until you're banished from the boards for a week just because you have a differing opinion.
Stalkers are the worst of the worst. If you report you should not be able to do it annomously then we may see a different CS.
Another thing that is a despicable trait is trying to get infomation on posters, trying to get information on ID's, ganging up on posters by cliques.
Nero is a hero for his posts but he's hated by the left, & subsequently vilified no end, as with a couple of others.
I agree with you about .........the ganging up on posters by cliques.......
CS would be a better place if that wasnt the case.

Then again PH, to some people, a bad reputation is better than no reputation at all? some people are so desperate for recognition, that negative is just as good as positive attention

Trish, my post to hawk was more in reference to personal information exchanged with boardies off the board. You gave out a lot of personal information here and you were given a hard time because of some of it. I think you have to be prepared for that if you post stuff here. I don't think you deserved most of what you copped but you still post a lot of personal stuff so I guess you weren't too affected by the repercussions. Congratulations on your marriage btw.
The stuff they say about me is water off a duck's back. It is more when they stalk kids and post their contact details that they only have access to through their own children and forums away from here. That is where it is way off the realms of reasonableness and becomes creepy, sick and demented.
Thankyou for the congratulations. It was a beautiful day and we are all extremely happy. Didn't expect it to be different but it really is totally different for our entire family.

possibly but do you ever really know anyone?

I've never sent PM's to get support for my posts, problably be ignored anyway as there are not too many on here I'd bother with.
There are a few I really like but never try to get them on my side, I let my posts do my talking for me, my opinion, that is taken with good humour & I never report anybody. I never stalk or troll bully, I never snipe one liner nasties but if you attack then expect retaliation.
Long running animosities are tiresome with the one liner snipes & most of the time we don't even know what it's about.

TS..........you should take note of what Trish has at the end of her posts...........

Funny it was mentioned about meeting people in real life....
One of my now very close friends / neighbours is someone that was hounded endlessly on these boards. She was sent the most horrific messages, ridiculed and pushed to the edge and some tried to push her over...although supposedly jokingly so.
You will NEVER meet a lovelier, kinder, more generous person, who would actually Pray for those that treated her so dispicably.

someone once posted a picture of me on here, from an eBay lunch meet sort of accidently, it was only here for a few minutes, but some trolls got their hands on it and made the most of it for awhile 😞
