you obviously are upset at what has been going on.....

i thought the thread title was a bit irking - and it raised my hackles a bit - not surprised it has ended up with hurt feelings and arguing

i am sorry you feel shocked...

Cam, I have just posted on that "dumbing down" thread to say that I agreed with Dior and that I thought you were obnoxious and hurtful on Pages' thread.

I have just read your awful news about your MIL, (yes, I should have read it before posting) and I would like to apologise profusely. I would not have posted if I had thought properly about it first. The Pages thread is over and done with and I shouldn't have referred to it. I am hot-tempered and tactless but I'm not a total bitch, and I don't want to make you feel worse when you are already going through something traumatic.

I doubt you and I will ever see eye to eye, but I really am sorry for my comment tonight.

Oh we've all had a bashing at some point.

I always find it strange how if someone says something contentious about 10 people jump in and give them a repeat lashing - I mean you would do that in the street would you - just imagine 6 of you stood in a group going ""what you said is unnacceptable" "what you said is unnacceptable" "what you said is unnacceptable".......

I think the fact that we are looking at a screen rather than a person can lead to us perhaps being more forthright than we would in person.

I've just been called "Unpleasant, abrasive, patronising and childish"

I never thought I'd say this, I'm one of the "original" m/netters , but I am giving this up.

CAM - This is silly. I have asked to leave it. Please do. There was no need to start another thread; I'm really saddened and I said that I shouldn't have started it. It was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other after my initial posting.

i havent been on all night and i have walked into a bloody war zone.

i have quickly scanned the dumbing down thread (one which annoys be by the very title! but thats another thread) and it seems that Dior has asked for the subject to be dropped repeatedly, as have you CAM and i think apologies were made.

so i am a little confused as to the purpose of this thread.

how about we all just either play nice or steer clear of each other.

DastardlyDevilishDior · 15/10/2006 21:52

Oh please, can we just leave it now? I'm not happy with how it turned out.
