Hi Rose,

I have just looked up *Websters Dictionary* in the States.

(gang)..People banded together for some purpose.. So that means all

on Genes in a gang...including the PERSON who accuses you..!!

So there ..LOL

lol Sally quite so!

Joy case of having to :)

~~~~Robin, McAnne , Marilyn

we all of us 'gravitate' towards some people that we feel comfortable with...sometimes they are in 'groups' sometimes strictly 'individual'...I just like who I like lol...

and of course as Marilyn says we are ALL in a 'gang' on here because we all came here with a common interest :)

We are all individuals and yes, we do tend to get into groups for various reasons.

However, being in a group of friends doesn't mean everyone has to have the same thoughts and actions or back someone up just because they are a friend when they say or do something we disapprove of.

At school the old "she can't be your friend she's my best friend" situation is quickly grown out of...................a few on here seem to have stuck at the playground stage:(

I am not a sheep and don't blindly follow without thinking through why I am going in a certain direction...............apologies to Errol!! lol

Well at the end of the day, it all boils down to whether or not Rose is really 'that bothered' by what one individual thinks or what that persons opinion of her is, and I figure I know what the answer will be ................. a big fat NO !!!

I agree with Robin on this, although I would change the word *Gang* to

*Clique*: "an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose "

And Rose does always speak her mind, but not always with the full facts.
(You admitted yourself that you missed most of what went on yesterday , even though you put up a thread which could only inflame things again)

Im sure that Kitty's thread to Cinders was put up for the best of reasons, to help, but once it turned into a free for all, to settle old scores, shouldnt it have been deleted? And then maybe Cinders would not have felt the need to delete her membership because she WAS being hounded.
So Cinders obviously upset at being called a liar, put up her own thread, and was torn apart on there.

I may be in a minority here, but I feel entitled to have my say, as I pay the same membership fee as everyone else.

Have a nice day everyone

Kim

I am hapy to be given the 'full facts'....all I saw was a nasty comment about Kitty who I believe would not intentionally hurt anyone...and what I perceived to be a nasty use of someone's surname alone . something which I have always hated and thought to be rude and ignorant!

I WAS about to post to that effect on the relevant thread but it was deleted as I tyoed (I had been out all day standing on a market stall trying to make a living so was not around to see everything that preceded it) . If people had the courage to let the threads stay up on here without constantly deleting them (same with the blogs!) then I wouldn't have HAD to post again....but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't...it was NOT done to inflame , It was done to state my opinion... based on what I HAD seen...

Seen the blog today and replied to it by email... funny how I am not treated with the same degree of respect by someone I have defended in the past on here!

With all due respect, no one on here (well with one exception) knows what my life is like, or has been...I very rarely broadcast my problems in public, because I am deeply aware that there are many whose problems are 100 times worse...

I feel sorry for people who are hounded on here and in blogs because I have been also to an extent...but I am strong enough (or bloody minded enough, take your pick) to keep coming back...if I wasn't I would just go elsewhere and stay there!

Fair enough Rose, you were defending your friend, the same as I am.

Actually I deleted as soon as Cinders put up her thread.

Within seconds of putting up her thread Cinders pm'd me and told me she was deleting her account..................pity she wasn't gracious enough to delete hers before she deleted 20 mins later!!

I was trying to help her out, but really don't appreciate being made to feel a fool because Cinders has a problem being honest and polite..................it won't stop me trying to help anyone else though.

As for defending friends................if a friend of mine behaved badly, I would not try and defend them.
