I emailed Babyblue directly with all I've said here and more besides which will remain private between Babyblue and myself.
I regularly mention All Sides board here, I've posted a link to it on MAS as recently as yesterday or the day before.
I'm not actually sure what you see from my posts that might constitute gossip.
I do not report posts as a rule since I'm a firm believer in free speech. The entire thread was removed without the person allegedly attacked (me) having complained or reported it! I didn't feel under attack, I felt my ideas were being challenged and I must have responded appropriately since no emailed warnings have reached my designated email in-box.
To be perfectly honest, as the presumed injured party, I for one would be perfectly happy to see the entire thread reinstated, however, that simply isn't something that is under my control.
I'm actually an infrequent visitor to this board these days, Bria. Collectively, it's your board and it will reflect fairly accurately the regular posters.
If you find that support of the type you are seeking is lacking on this board, what are you (general) doing to bring about change?
The mood/tone of the board is almost entirely down to the regular posters, so what changes would make you happier and how might you go about achieving that goal?
Maybe it is a combo btn this board and the Affair board. But there has been so much negativity. Name calling, people leaving b/c of persoanl attacks. Not everyone is as thick skinned as you. :) I just feel like the threads with people needing support are being responded to far less than the once where people are complaining etc. I am actaully trying to repsond to as many people needing support as I feel I can do. That is how I am trying to bring about change!! I dont want this to becoem the "All Sides Board". In my opinion, these conversations are best kept for that board!
Posie, the thread to you was uncalled for and you have every right to feel anyway you want. I always welcome your thoughts even if they arent what I want to hear. I just felt it was unfair that others were jumping in and bashing her regardless of how wrong her thread was. This isnt the place for that.
Going from rosy-coloured fluffiness to stark reality of the consequences of our actions isn't often an easy transition, Bria. I mean, which would most of us prefer were we given a choice? "Fluff me up!" right?
It's *because* we've avoided reality for so long that it's a bit of a culture shock swapping boards.
I've seen you being supportive and this predates the posts of the last day or so. I'm proud of you and I believe you add warmth & colour to any board upon which you choose to post. Don't give up, poppet, you're receiving good advice as well as giving it. You are valued here and your thoughts, fears, dreams, hopes & experiences are a mirror to many posters' own.
Agreed, bashing is never called for, though for the record I don't feel bashed lol. I'm glad babyblue has returned to us and when I'm able to pop in here, I'm here for her every bit as much as everyone else. Mark my words, BB is on the brink of some enormous changes in perspective. If I'm anything to go by, the biggest lashing out I ever made (on a board far, far away) was a catalyst for big-time self-awareness. I'll be watching for it and I'll be there to catch her if she starts to fall.
For those who need or want me, if I'm not here, so far as I'm aware my email works via my profile and if not it's posiepops@yahoo.co.uk.

Hiya Bria,
