LOL, apparently even the mods aren't game to use their names on our special notes anymore LOL

I'm sure i read that on here someowhere, so it must be true...

Meep, there used to be a time you could get away with not mentioning names. The mods got stricker somewhere around about the time the forum changed.

Stricter now?  No way.  You could never put one over Shane :^O

so, you don't know who they are? but you know there is someone who knows? I am confused.....

I dont actually know.. I have a feeling.  Iza has been posting a lot about bullying according to some of the posts here.    What would be the reasons for her doing that?   I assume the topic is important to her because

1  She is being bullied

2  She wants to bring awareness about bullying in general

I absolutely agree with you Meep, people standing by and watching bullying without stepping in is the same as bullying   Absolutely agree with that statement.   It reminds me of something my mother drummed into me "It's one thing to see evil being done it's another to stand by and allow it to be done"   I know you've been through the wringer on these boards Trish but you've never let it stop you coming back here, you're one brave lady I think at times and a lot braver than others.

Not so much brave. I just believe in being myself. I am who I am and if people don't like it, that is their issue. For the few not so kind people on her to drive away others would be a shame. Just smile and wave.

That is a new one to me, mebbe the mod doesnt wanna own up to a lame post and submitted to the mass reporting.

Hello everyone,

Joz, I made a 'joke'....on your thread.

My sister who has no legs...makes jokes about being legless and shoe salesmen.It's harder for other people to hear I think than it is for her.That is her reality.She's cool with it...she just wishes everyone else would be too.

I'm OK with being a carer.It is part of my life and the life of my family.Yes, there can be difficulties...that's the way it is.

If any one else feels uncomfortable with that fact and they think by my even mentioning anything about it I am whinging or anything else or it is hard for you to hear about...please don't read.I have a disabled son and sister (currently in a nursing home) ...that's just my reality just as whatever your life is is yours.I will not hide it away and be made to feel my life is not acceptable because it is different to yours.

CM, It is interesting that you should say having a socially unacceptable trait encourages bullying (that's why we live away from other people...my eldest son) .

An interest in Law may very well be developed for personal reasons...say when someone was a CW for a VOC.

I think you are well aware of how people may react to various things....

Az pretty spot on..

I thought this could be discussed as a general topic.

I do or at least attempt to discuss other things .:-)

Have a good afternoon everyone 🙂

It's amazing how a little to and fro can turn that frown upside down!!

I am sure the OP wouldn't have so much discomfort if she wasn't egged on by her friends!.... This of course results in a spiral which requires dissection and the eminent rescue and commiseration!!

It is a pattern!...... I see it constantly.

who eggs her on VS? who are her friends?

I just came to ask the same question!

I have not seen any 'egging on', maybe I missed it. Can you please quote a post or post numbers? TIA
