Botty Cream Please...........

[mandymoosie]

Well I've just had my first slap, thanks whoever arranged that for me, I feel so much better now 😞

I suppose this will get me another one....................not that bothered to be honest.

This used to be such a fun place to be, but now, I'm seriously having second thoughts and think that I might be disappearing the same way that others have 😞

pass the botty cream to moosie.;\it is getting really silly on here.whoever  is it who is causing it needs to get a life.?:|

[bitsnknots]

It's a pity that some people have nothing better to do than to keep reporting posts.  I'd like to know what they gain from it.

[welshtoff]

(((( Mandy )))))

It is getting rather silly now isn't it!

[ilove2patch]

What was you doing norty then?

[chickengrandma-2008]

I still don't know what a slap is.  Is it just an email saying you've done something against the rules?  I've had a few of those but never been told not to post for a week.

[mandymoosie]

Nothing, in my opinion.

I was simply passing on a message from a friend of mine.........don't know who ebay or live world think they are........I'm not going to be dictated to by them as to what I can and can't discuss, I'm not a school child and I thought we had freedom of speech in this country X-(

There was nothing offensive or anything that could have upset anyone in that message, this is just Big Brother gone mad X-(

I'm a member and an admin on other sites and I have never ever had a complaint made against me.

As I've said, I'm reconsidering whether I made the right move to join here or not..........probably not 😞

[ilove2patch]

You are not allowed to talk about a banned member. That's all the problem was. You have to get a lot of slaps to get banned.

[mandymoosie]

Kiss thank you for your reply 🙂

It may seem melodromatic to some, but right now I have a lot of other issues going on, as I know we all have, sorry to say but due to my depression and anxiety, I don't handle stress very well, and this sort of thing does stress me 😞 Sorry, but I am who I am, warts an all, and, yes, I'm also of a sensitive nature so it doesn't take a lot to knock me :-x

Maggie, oh well, lesson learned then, though I don't see what harm it could possible have caused.........strange world we live in 😐 :-x

[ilove2patch]

Very true Pix.:-) We are quick to accuse button pushers too when it's the pinks that remove the post. 

[lurkingisover]

May I just ask one thing?  Have any of you thought how your vile attack on me might have made me feel on the "I Killed A Bird topic"?  It was just vicious and all because I dared to voice my opinion which wasn't in any way meant as an attack on the poster in question.

You really all should start to think before you post and think how you would like some of those things you accused me of being said to to you....troll, button pusher, twit, have no life......

Not many people posting at the moment, I wonder why.  Suppose you will start with the accusations of me button pushing again or being a troll so carry on.

[mandymoosie]

Okay this will be my final post on this subject.

I'm sorry that you also suffer with depression Pix 😞

But we need to remember that we all get effected in different ways from different things.

I don't understand why you feel that you have to just "go away for a while" it's as if you're saying that we're not allowed or that we shouldn't talk about things like that on here ?:| And to be perfectly honest, I've seen a few comments by a few people on here that don't seem to like anybody talking about mental health issues ?:|

Sorry but I don't sit comfortably with that at all. If we are to be a forum of friends, then surely friends support each other?? well I know mine do anyway.

So we're saying that FHG is a "fair weather friend" ??? because if it is, I'll be off so quick you wont see the dust behind my feet!!

If you had read my post, you will have seen that I said that we ALL have problems, I'm not trying to come over as a person who only thinks of themselves because anyone who really knows me will know that that couldn't be further than the truth.

I don't want to feel like I have to keep explaining myself, it has effected me whether any of you choose to accept that or not, I don't really mind either way to be honest.

What a strange forum this is ?:| 😞 and to be honest, I've never been on or experienced one like it. There's a nasty undercurrent in here and it feels awful, and I wont be hanging around to get wound up, stressed out or upset, it's not worth it to me, FHG is the very least of my problems.

Maggie how are we to know whether it was a button pusher or not??? There would be no proof or evidence either way?? On the other forums that I'm on and the one where I'm an administrator, a message is always left by the moderator who removed the post, with the reason it was removed, that is not done here and I don't understand why it isn't. It's, in my opinion, a very badly monitored and managed site as regards to the forums.

I shall end and leave by saying that I'm truly saddened and disappointed with what appears to be happening here 😞 I will honestly say now, that I don't really trust anyone, apart from a couple of people here, I don't like the feel of it anymore, and for my reasons and my reasons only, I will quietly go. Sorry if you feel angered by the fact that I've announced it, but that too, is entirely my decision to make and not yours. 😞

[mandymoosie]

lurkingisover I will now stand and make a public apology to you for what happened on that thread 😞

Yes we were too quick to jump on the ban wagon and yes, things were said to you that never should have been and I'm quite ashamed for my part of that 😞

I still believe that our Tara did the right thing and acted in the best interests of the bird :-x

But having said that, I also think it was very wrong of an attack to have been launched the way it was, on to you, when you were only voicing your opinion 🙂

But this is what I mean about a nasty undercurrent here............I just found myself, as I think others did too, getting caught up in all the emotions of the thread and then becoming irrational.

People on FHG seem to turn on people just like that, and for no apparent reason it would seem, I've had it today just because I dared to voice my opinion about something that had happened to me 😞

FHG is going to go the same way that the RT has and it's going to die a death, in the short while that I've been here, there have been several members, who were very regular, that have now disappeared and no longer, or, hardly ever, post on here.

The clique that is clearly here, for all to see, needs stopping, this is an open forum to anyone who wants to post, it doesn't exclusively belong to you, if I was an admin on here, that would be put right within minutes, it is just not acceptable and is, in fact, the most childish thing that I've ever come across X-(

[ilove2patch]

When a post is removed for an ebay rule violation eg: talking about a banned poster, posting a link to something for sale etc it has been picked up by a pink. Why would anyone on here report such a post as we all make them? Sometimes they slip through when the pink is on a tea break! lol I have been posting here for many years & have learned to let it go over my head a bit. I have a lot of friends on here.:-x

[captainbovine]

me too Maggie, and I hope Moosie is one of them.

I too defended Tara, and if I did so a little heavy handed then I too apologise.

I've been botty slapped on a number of occasions for no apparent reason and  you have to let them go over your head. We have someone on here who takes pleasure in reporting the newest member, I wouldn't let it get to you too much Moosie, you'd be missed a lot.

I don't think there is a clique...possibly it's misconstued because some peeps on here have been posting for ages and know each other better than others do.

I think we all try to be friendly and don't say anything meaningly hurtfull.

I would just ignore whoever it is who is trying to bust FHG wide open.

I for one won't go.....whether you want me or not:^O

[kiss*my*pixel]

I'll keep my botty cream please - just got four slaps (for this thread alone) :_|

[cookiecookuk]

i am staying here with my friends :-x and i think that we all make new comers welcome as i was not long ago:-).to split up the fhg would hurt a lot of people :_|and all the good they do especially at mdcc weekends.:O sorry to admit that because of my own reasons i never read the thread mentioned above  so do not know what was said and nor do i want to ,:|i just want to enjoy a chat and a bit of camaraderie of here when i feel well enough to visit.:-)

just remember to those of you who do not like some of the things that are said on here like the rest of us loonies :^O you are free to stay with us or go.your choice but do not spoil it for others:-)

[captainbovine]

what? all at once:O for just this thread??:O

can you complain about it?? seems a little unjustified to me

[lurkingisover]

Thank you for the apology which I accept.  Takes a big person to apologise.  I will never ever be afraid to voice my opinion if I have one but I certainly don't expect others to agree with me

It did make me laugh though the way some of you were posting saying it wasn't you button pushing.  Was there some sort of list of suspects?  How out of hand things can get and some people did behave like playground bullies. 

As for the PM I received - if I want to post I will and no one has the right to tell me not to.

[captainbovine]

well, if someone has PM'd you like that, I'd say that was your button pusher eh?
