Rhubarb thanks for the new thread but we're all going to octos!
I missed the second stage of the 'disagreement' but cant resist giving my2pworth!
Anyway I didnt take offense at all, I read your comment about taking the piss but as someone who regularly takes the piss out of her friends, dp and even children sometimes I took it as friendly piss taking and nothing malicious intended.
I think you were unfortunate that you picked one of our threads when we've had some serious criticism in the past and also at what it is a difficult time for some. But you weren't to know this so afaic arent to blame.
Pinions if you're reading this I'mn a little upset that you take my lack of condemnation as disloyalty. If I'd felt someone was genuinely being spiteful and intentionally causing you distress I would have been first to leap to your defense. However I felt it was meant as harmless fun. Probably with hindsight somewhat inappropriate but not malicious.
I am posting this here as obviously the new thread is intended to move away from all this and really this is just intended as a message for you rhubarb as I think it all went a bit wrong and just wanted to say that um well what I already said.
I never know when to stop talking thats my problem!
And I really did like your parsnips!
