I was looking at a pack. I am not going tore-read the thread to see who was in it.


Describing a perceived trend is not highlighting an individual.

This, I believe, is part of democracy , as is the freedom to express opinion without fear of reprisal.

Sharron are you classing me for one in a pack??

Stand back and look at that thread.

I looked at it for the first time this morning having seen this one and, as a whole, I saw a pack.

Totally agree Mildred I posted on that thread , and read it it in the same way and I was simply pointing out that it was very sad at the loss of a young girls life........

A pack :-(

I posted on that thread.

I really object to being labelled as part of an attacking pack, or as dictating to what the poster should post.

I posted my opinion, fair & simple.
If you post something which comes across in an unpleasant way, then you will get varying opinions
Opinions are like botty holes...we all have one :-D

I felt the OP came across as a "Ner ner ner told you so" sort of post, which in light of the young mothers death regardless of how she died was childish and a bit crass.
My post reflected that.

If the OP wishes to leave because of differing opinions or being RR'd then it's their choice, even if I feel it's a hasty one to leave over one thread I wish the OP well

(Btw it wasn't me but I can understand the OP being RR'd to stop the thread escalating)

I can't say I was very impressed by the pack that quickly formed to attack.

It is something I will bear in mind before I post anything contentious again.

It's time for me to say goodbye, I've been a member for many years now but it's got to the stage now that you can't even make a comment albeit a home truth without being slatted by a small group of members, I've had good memories to take with me and had a good laugh with some members but those days are gone, so goodbye.
