I have not long been home from work and have an e-mail from someone on here that i am so proud to say that i know. The content disturbs me greatly. Someone that not only I - but many other on here- hold in deep regard has dis-associated themselves from this site., because someone has sent them a message which has upset them so much. I have been asked to tell certain members, why me I am not sure as they have far greater friends on here than me - but will do so over the course of the evening If i cannot persued this person to return. i am awating a reply to the last e-mail i sent to them and will update you as soon as I hear any more. Almost in tears at my keyboard... THIS BULLYING MUST STOP .NOW. Jess x

Well it cannot be me, I am not a bully. tell her/him to try to ignore it, difficult but, necessary. Good luck, whomever you are. Deanna

It's about time that these bullies are named and shamed, then given a boot of the site with a lifelong ban. Hope your friend will be ok, please give my warmest wishes to him/her Sarah, xxx

Jess I don't know who it is that has been sent this abusive email, but they should report it to genes, and stay on the board. I agree these private bullying emails are getting out of hand. So whoever is on the recieving end tell them to get back on the board so we can support them, and lets hope that the bully is revealed. sandra

This is getting beyond a joke. Tell your friend they must report it and maybe you should too. I know some people will disagree with me but I think the person who sent the e-mail should be named and shamed so as the rest of us know to avoid them like the plague.

eagles this is getting so out of hand lately, they should be named so we know who to avoid, i don't get on with everyone and have always aired my views but i have never sent an abusive email to anyone.I have said on the board if i find a reply to a thread rude, abusive or derogatory. sandra

hi jess, you say e mail. do you mean e mail, or message. i can 'message' anyone who's name appears on here. but i can only e mail people who have given me their e mail address. and does the person know who it was who sent them the nasty message/ e mail ? sue.

Jess, good luck in your efforts to get your friend to stay - but he/she MUST report to GR. I agree with others, whoever this person/these persons are, if they keep getting away with it by NOT being reported then they'll just keep on doing it. Jan

Right ...this is the first time I have added to these kinds of threads...These people ARE BULLYS..they should be bloody well ashamed of themselves..Be strong people and stand up to them, everybody has a right to be who they want to be and do what they want to do!...Fight back..that is the only way to discurage these kinds of people..Jess tell your frielnd to stay on here and post away ..if they go and dissapear then this BULLY will have WON..Think about it what do we tell or children to do when they are faced with a BULLY... There its off my chest...Ill prob get sacked now... Anita xxx

Jess, I can only say what others here have said this member really needs to report any abusive emails sent through Genes to Genes abuse. Not only for that members sake but for other members here. Whoever sent the abusive mail can easily do it again to another member or members, why should they get away with such behaviour? I hope the person who received the mail will report it and stay. I am very sorry to hear yet another member of the boards has been treated like this. Pat x
