Julie TPP please Friend be careful.
I know you gave your e mail out to at least 2 please never do that.
I know your problem is real, am not surprised by it, must leave some thoughts about others lay unsaid.
It is true we are a group, like each other, but real life can be cruel.
I have seen great harm done by getting too close to people we do not know.
I would love a cupa with your husband and you, a dozen others here too, but lets not be unwise.
Names? not long after I started posting here, I got involved with debating a ,well I gave my full name in a few posts.
I never should have.
It hurt me, soon lies got around work sites about me, and here in the forum, dead issue I will not give life to, I won the silly slanging match.
How hard is it to find me? my nick name is Belly my surname is Bell, I am no coward, but why use our names?
Face book and such will bring great harm to the unwary.
Graham knows who I am, Forrest found me in a few seconds after the death of a PC kept me away.
Will some one please start a thread asking why we should say who we are.
And another could tell of things that others suffered by telling too much about them selves.
Let us never forget we all unknowingly read body language and the same is on display in the written word

G'Day All,
Well put Belly but that is life one big risk after another.
Thanks anyway from Dave.

Hey Houel, I gave my e-mail in public… Belly even suggested I might regret it and I was like “nah she’ll be right” – me always assuming everything will be alright.

Not Graham’s problem or anything and entirely my fault. But an interesting take on faking it when one even fakes a whole scenario for themselves without any evidence to support it but plenty of the opposite. And for weeks I’ve been running around going on about my husband – didn’t anyone think I was overdoing it just a tad? Even I was struggling to come up with new and wonderful ways to describe him. I sucked Yabby in to a conversation so I could mention how happy I am in my marriage. I started a thread about Wedding Vows! Oh well hell, it backfired all over the place.

Err you want to stalk Col? At the very least you’ll learn some new words.

Honey all I’m wearing is a rapidly thinning veil of patience.

Fractelle, I know. Hubby so wants a few seconds alone with the dude to have a conversation.

Hey Belly baby…maybe Graham could backtrack and delete your name now? I did do a gmail thing in public then after everything seemed above board I went to my bigpond e-mail and then it just went downhill rapidly. And it has freaked me out a bit; no man would still be standing if they tried to say to my face what has been said to me in e-mail.

Thanks Dave, you are proof of the decent people out there who understand what the word “friend” means.

Sorry Bronwyn, missed the earlier message… Foxy said Houel might have been right in the Wedding Vow thread, she was, of course, wrong.[smile]

Dear Piper,

They say you live and learn.

At least you'll be more careful before handing
out your email in future.

Personally, I agree with Belly - I prefer not to
give mine out. And, if I receive anything from
a name I don't recognise - I simply delete it
without opening it.

My suggestion for you would be to either change your
email - or if that's not possible for business
reasons - simple delete any emails you don't want to
read - eventually they'll get the message.

I'm so sorry Piper that you had this unpleasnant
experience. But the good thing is - this should
make you more cautious in future.

Pied Piper I'd seen a couple of the posts early in the evening but had not taken it all in, a fuller read now and I'm somewhere between stunned and sickened by what you have experienced. Not sure what to say except I'm thinking of you and your husband and wishing you the best.

Foxy "I'll try not to be so flippant in future." - please no, your original post was great.

This thread has drifted into the X-File zone all of a sudden.

Col
I agree with you about manners. Not fakery at all but necessary in a civilised world.

TPP might be right we have gone off onto other tangents away I think from Belly's original meaning. Don't worry about ranting TPP I do it all the time.
