GROWING UP

Pssssst taffy…where do you get those cute little pics from?

I have been absent for awhile… Since being back, I have seen one person get abused and stepped in, which I will always try and do. Support the person being abused and help them every chance that I get. Those people abusing (especially in this case) should remember that its an open “chat” forum and every body or anybody, can post as they please. That is what makes, Jc, the Uk, the Western world, a great place that we all choose to live, ie the lack of control and censorship……

Now indirectly I have discovered there are many forms of bullying taking place. All seem to be in the category of the seriously sad male, trying to put down, dominate or control a female chatter (I am not talking of the thin – Annette exchanges, I think we are all adult enough to realise, there is a simple solution to those). Rather more so, some one whom is an every day male chatter from the Capital of the Uk, who thinks it is okay, to threaten and stand over women with ultimatiums because, he does so in a different chat name or through a third party. Just a word to the wise, bullying is bullying, its wrong in every dimension and aspect……. Apart from showing every one exactly the coward that you really are….

How refreshing!! .

I do not ‘know’ you … I have never ‘spoken’ to you (apart from a little light-hearted dialogue on these boards, just recently), but I feel it is appropriate to offer my whole-hearted support to your words from one defender against bullying to another. Rarity to have a man with such courage of his own convictions to openly admit such an opinion. Not being sexist; merely observational. Well said, you.

hmm so who does he mean

the uses diff names could apply to a few ie quench or london male
but through a third party hmmm now i know joker def has a lil gang every now and then
but again not from london
cherry is best pals with quenchie but no cant see her being nasty
so back to london male who could be holding is hand
or am i right off mark

answers on a post card please

<~~~likes Joker too :) but definitely not part of any 'lil gang'. Cannot comment about quench, as very little interaction other than him thinking I am a 'dyke' (!! ha !!) but have had no dealings whatsoever with londonmale.

Is it relevant anyway? The sentiment still prevails, irrespective of the individual being named.

Am I just being an idealist?
