am on ?! Because it seems once again I have been assigned to a 'group'. Funny really because when they picked teams for games at school I was always the last one to be chosen (too skinny, too useless...me and the fat girl) ... lol

Through 232 pages of threads on here over 2 and a half years I think I have spoken to virtually everyone from every supposed ' clique, group, gang... etc' and STILL I don't, in my own eyes at least, seem to have joined one!

232 pages with everything from comments re dogs trust to genealogy to wine, men and (lots of )song!
Too many to add here...lots of laughs with lovely people of all shapes ,sizes, locations and predilictions lol. AND I would say over 99% (roughly I ain't counting!) were friendly and 'nice' threads from start to finish... both regardless, and because, of who was on them

Narked? you bet I bl***y am! but I won't roll over and play dead for anyone...if I think it needs saying I will say it!

Hi Alko, I am narked though lol..it is not like all of us don't have a life to struggle through also... and I have emailed to that effect...
I am sick of being told I am on one side or the other...half the people on one side I like...half the people on the 'other' side I like.... I am sick of being told I only post to "cause trouble" ...for 2 and a half years I have added to or posted threads that have not a scrap of argument in them...even the debate ones were generally friendly enough...

I have my own opinions and my own way of stating them...and I also have a life off here which means sometimes I add a thread myself replying to something that has been deleted which I want to respond to.....aaaarrrgggghhh!

Thanks Shimms, Robin ~~~

I found one of my old threads ( year before last I think) saying much the same thing...I'm not an 'Us' or a 'Them'...I'm an 'Other' LOL

Rose, I have never ever seen you post to cause trouble. A lot of these so called groups or gangs are in peoples minds, which is sad because they are probably inadequate people who feel hard done by because they perceive themselves to be outside of the 'groups'. Ignore, as you would be the first to tell others!

Rose take it with a pinch of salt there are some people on here very few thankfully who just like to cause trouble, you are allowed your opinion wither people agree or not, why can't they just think before posting as it just causes upset and people to leave site, i read mostly now and if there is agruing i know where to off button is.

Take care and don't let the buggers get you down.xxx

I agree with Ann. It's mostly in people's heads because they don't get the same sort of response or the attention they crave and assume that if people are getting on well they are in a gang with each other deliberately to freeze out others.

Rambling Report 20 Feb 2009 13:37

LOL McAnne ...someone's spotted me have they :) They do say that you can spot a Sagittarian because they can be walking along very elegantly ...and then fall off the kerb ... or trip over 'nothing' ;) ....which I do lol

~~~ Ann, I get less and less able to follow my own advice as I get older... ROFL...I am getting more like my mum every day Eek!

Who has assigned you to a group? Whoever told you that you have been, just try ignoring it, Rose. "They" are getting boring.

SallyF Report 20 Feb 2009 13:39

Rose that means that you and I are in a gang! Because I'm a Sagittarian and I fall off the heel of my trainers ever so easily and fall off kerbs like nobody's business. lol
I did a double back flip into a ditch once! I felt myself falling into it corrected too much corrected back again and ended up doing a head over heels in mid air straight in! :)

PS just remembered we had conversations about mutually being Sagittarius ... :-)

Rambling Report 20 Feb 2009 13:43

LOL Sally , nice to know there are others like me ;) but the great thing is being able to laugh at oneself, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again lol ..which Sagittarians also manage to do :)

Well i blame evolution - it's the pack mentality - we can't help ourselves, we're only doing what comes naturally lolol

I agree with Ann. I have never seen you post to cause trouble Rose.

Of course there will always be the occasions when others disagree with your point of view, and trouble sometimes arises out of that. But that is not the same thing.

However I do disagree with Ann when she says that a lot of these groups are in people's minds. ( please forgive me Ann )

They most certainly exist, I myself have been a member of various groups at various times and I have seen the sort of things that some of them get up to.

And I certainly don't feel hard done by for no longer being part of it.
