You know some posters tend to enter a thread with "Well I'm a Doctor, Lawyer, Teacher, Head Teacher" or whatever...well do you give their post any more creedence because of it or do you just disregard it completely and read what they have to say as if they'd never mentioned it?

Bearing in mind any of us can be anything we claim to be?

Thanks in advance

Mutznutz OBE

Back to your thread, I generally do take people at face value because I'm nice like that and if things turn out to be lies then hey ho, I aint gonna lose sleep over it.

I would however be gutted to be completely and emotionally taken in by someone only to find out everything was lies....like Bump did when she gave the tesco vouchers

no-ones being snidey.

MissyPie · 08/01/2011 00:12

PA Smile

MissyPie · 08/01/2011 00:13

MarthaStewart, Sorry you seem to be pleading for something? May I assist you in any way? :)

BuzzLightBeer · 08/01/2011 00:13

Bloody hell, it was my fault, I'm tired, I misread the post previous to mine. Many apolgies. Nobody here thinks anyone, least of all the mentioned poster, is lying, okay?

MissyPie · 08/01/2011 00:15

buzz lol, see what you started!!! :)

MissyPie · 08/01/2011 00:17

usualsuspect - what does PA mean?

Can you kindly please pinpoint exactly where I have been snidey and if you are correct I will certainly apologise to all

marthastewart · 08/01/2011 00:19

Sorry can't get this right.
thought it was for support wrong place/ topic I guess
Sorry
Fri night and had some wine ...

, like I said am just not coping right now

usualsuspect · 08/01/2011 00:20

lol @ the posters who think that Smile is exclusive to their clique

tomhardyismydh · 08/01/2011 00:27

not saying aforementined thread is, but some are just too hard to suck up.

MintAeroBar · 08/01/2011 00:27

This thread is going all sorts of ways! Confused

Anyway, martha I am a bit concerned by your last post - are you ok? Not coping with what?

clique, don't make me laugh - I've been on here a week (hardly time enough to get in a clique)

and I suspect that UsualSuspect cannot find anything on this thread to back up her claim that some comment was snidey therefore I wont expect an apology because you're obviously too cool for that but I will in fact just laugh it off - the proof is in black and white, therefore I aint arsed

Good evening to you usualsuspect, go upset someone who cares :)

marthastewart · 08/01/2011 00:32

Ok thank you. Signed on initially circa 2009 as far as I remember, you know what it's not alcohol just me I think, but I hear you....

usualsuspect · 08/01/2011 00:34

giyadas · 08/01/2011 00:37

giyadas · 08/01/2011 00:38

Well, as a trained Psychoanalyst, I think this thread makes for very interesting reading.

But as an acrobat, it just makes me twitchy.
