Goodbye fellow H&H ers

QR Oh the goold old flouncy post.. cant beat them. Cant see any bullying ever going on. You get a few brown nosers on here who have no idea what they are agreeing with but just agree because they want to be liked. Just my opinion.

Just suck up the comments, dont take things to heart. You know yourself deep down and how well you look after your horses. Who cares what others think?
 
Back on topic, bye Milly

This term 'bully' gets used way too often on this forum. If there is genuine bullying then it's for Admin to sort out...however, most of the time it's simply a case of differing opinions. It's abit sad that professional offense takers have this forum by the balls

This type of post is exactly what I meant.

At no point did I say people should not post their views, I said it might be kind hearted to think of a person instead of a screen name.

I am never offensive or rude in what I post as I was not in my posts earlier, if you choose to take offense that is your choice.

If you feel offended in what I wrote that implies you feel the post related in someway to you.

Say what you will in regards to advice or opinions, however I was just stating my opinion that advice or opinions could be a little better dressed and diplomatic.

I have no problem with people giving advice they see fit, I am a person that also speaks my mind, I just have the art of being able to dress it well and use diplomacy. People may get answers to their posts they were not expecting and thats fine.

What isn't fine is attacks and blowing things out of proportion like your reply to my post, this then fuels others to 'gang' up and respond the same way. There is a lot of this going on here on the forum and it is a bit sad, it reminds me of school bullying where the girls gang up and take sides.

I am just very glad that I can raise my head and I do not take posts of this nature to heart, others however are unable to manage this.

If you do not agree to my post well it is sad people do not think manners and kind words are appropriate any more in life. You are entitled to your views though and who am I to try to change an opinion. Thank you for your reply I now realise that I a 31 year old mother of two children is a bully and awfully impolite to people here, I have been truly enlightened.

Happy New Year Shilasdair, I hope you have a very good prosperous and joyous one :-)

Happy New Year, Karen_Morsund.

I think you missed my point entirely, but I did rather 'set you up' to illustrate my point (sorry).

In your answer you tell me that you are 'never offensive or rude' and imply it is my problem if I find you so to be. In fact, you go further, and suggest I am 'attacking' or 'blowing things out of proportion' - but is that your call?

Which raises the question - who decides what is 'offensive' - the author, or the reader?

And further - what action should be taken? We all get numpty replies to our posts - along with some excellent advice.
Now, I generally assume that the respondent means well, so thank them politely, and perhaps explain why their solution may not work.

I don't start screaming 'bully', 'snob', or 'bitch' at them, nor would I.

So Happy New Year, Karen_Morsund - you proved my point beautifully for me

Sorry, whats that got to do with anything? What a weird thing to say! No offence, but there are plenty of people on here with plenty of money etc. that really makes no difference as to peoples opinions... You don't need money to talk 'down' to people.

I got a soda stream for xmas.... i bet you are well jealous now!

This post is quite amusing, dont normally read them but as it got to 2 pages i thought i would waste a few mins of my life.

These posts are unneccessary, and nothing written on here should really be taken to heart.

I've made posts before where i have said something and been told... im doing it wrong.... or such like or told i've got it all wrong, dont see me leaving.

In my time on HHO, nobody who has ever announced they are leaving has actually gone. They may come back with another name, or even another account, but the only people who actually leave are those that just stop posting and/or have their account deleted.

Tia did I think.

Unless she's back?! I miss her anyway so that would be good.
 
Stop it you lot or we will get called bullies. But it has come to a sad state when you give your honest advice and if the postie doesn't like it, you get slated as a bully, I must admit that I have been a bit blunt sometimes, but I don't think in a nasty way.
But other people may read it another way, but that their perrogative. But there are a lot of sensible, knowledgable people on this forum that I listen too.
 
Although one or two people may be a bit blunt when they post a reply, I think the main problem in any form of written communication is that it is wide open to misunderstandings. You cannot see the persons facial expressions (It may be a tongue in cheek remark) or they may just not be very good at expressing themselves in writing. I often look at my posts and think to myself "Thats not how I talk in real life"

NONE OF THAT WAS EITHER
