Peace in the valley?

Errr... no dont think so. I recently wrote a blog expressing my puzzlement as to why several members had decided to leave CS to grieve over the illness of a fellow blog member.

The blog attracted several distasteful posts critiquing what people thought was my insensitivity on the subject. I had hoped to supply a few quotes, however upon looking for the blog in my list, I find it has been deleted.

I feel vindicated in my skepticism, as those that purported to depart either didnt, or were back blogging within a day. The subject member is now once again active on the blogs despite only 10 days ago issuing a statement that no further posts or replies would be made for a while... if ever!

I accuse no person of deliberation, however, I feel those that participated in said events have made a mockery of the blogs by inciting discord between members.

Aren't you just adding fuel to the fire with this blog? scold
Berry...

Not at all, just stating a case.
Nia...

Eeeek!... you are going to get my blog deleted with statements like that.
I believe you & I are both from the UK, a place where the accused is innocent until proved guilty dunno but on the plus side your kangaroo court seems to have won you a new fan uh oh
Z...

This has nothing to do with guilt or innocence, I am simply saying my skepticism was justified.
zimmerman are you jealous? hehehe you can have your 5 buckslaugh
dont mind her Solly shes hurt she wanted zimmerman for 5 bucks I told she wont get him even for a hundred
hell hath no fury........
Berry...
I dont make personal remarks against people.
@ Nia

What an absurd remark....uh oh
Z...

I am standing on solid ground here, perhaps you could send Berry a copy of the blog to remind her of what I wrote that was in NO way a brutal personal attack against anyone.
Nia...

Ooooooh!... Do tell.

Do you know of a budding romance between a couple of bloggers?
I will tell you ...but I think enough of excitement for today or aIll give heart attack to some
yesterday people had a field day because of my comments banana
Talking of people missing from the blogs, anyone know how 2ngoround is?
There are a few people missing who used to be regulars blues
@ Sola

I need no copy.

I recall the blog was in poor taste. I still believe it was and this blog is merely stirring it all up again.

NB: there is no budding romance between any man on this site and myself.

I'm not commenting on this blog further.
Nia...

You are always full of promises whilst hiding in the shadows.... but never deliver!
Berry...

Awwww... dont be like that, it is so lovely to see your smiling pic on the posts.

I see my "brutal" personal attack has now been diminished to simply "poor taste".... Are you a plea barganier?
Viv...

No idea who the person is you are asking after
Sola, you know how it works, you've stated your case, others have stated theirs, the blogging jury will decide & the mods will do what they always do, have a look to see if it could harm the site.
She's one of the nicest people on the blogs, rarely posts a blog herself but comments quite often.

It's been said a few times that people have left because of attacks via the blogs but hopefully others just leave because they get bored, and will return when things get interesting again. conversing
Viv

She's good coz I see her on FB with her regular postings thumbs up
DC - that's great, thanks! thumbs up

(Some of you know each other through FB? wow)
Well Viv...one thing leads to another. From CS we become FB friends. Quite a few here have become my FB friends since...
and your point is ?..some may have found your blog distasteful and insensitive, some thought I would be upset and should ignore your post. I read it for what is was, and I was not upset by it at all.

However, some of the people you mention,, you don't actually have personal contact with via email, and therefore you don't understand their stories ether, and of course the bloggers that were to disappear, albeit for a short time, have got issues they do not discuss in public, and what has happened to me brought back memories for them. :lets not forget women are more sensitive. You on the other hand are not so.

People are free to show their true colors here so by all means carry on.
you may remember I never posted anything about my illness..I just left quietly, it was another blogger who did it without my permission, not what I wanted but i wasn't about to get angry at her.

Some asked me to explain myself, or for want of a better word, just let people know I'm ok. So I did, and yes I promised myself I would not come back because I didn't want all the fussing and sympathy vote. As it happens I haven't and thats exactly how I would want it.

However it gets faking boring sitting around when your weak...would you like to see a photo of my shaved head, to prepare my self for my hair falling out..just for you to prove to you ? Actually look in the mirror..you already know whats its like nit to have any hair !
and you've even gone back to count the days....spain is nice..go play in it.
Hey Sola wave

But if its really peace in the valley your looking for?
then sing it baby dancing



peace
IW...

I'm singing babe... I'm singing!
I adore Elvis singing this song Sol, I fell in love with him when I was 14yrs old, I love hime still.
I got to visit his home in Memphis.thumbs up
So you write two blogs mentioning no names, yet the names we all know..the blogs was related to me, making accusations...I have replied to this blog, and you Don't have the decency to answer me.

Your a shallow man sol
Ian...
I wrote a blog expressing my bewilderment towards the actions of several members in relation to your circumstances. As in many cases, the content was taken out of context and seen as an insensitive personal attack.

In this blog I am stating that my reasons for writing the previous blog have been justified.

As much as the actions of others was because of your situation, the content of the blogs I have written were and are in no way directed towards or against you.

I accept responsibility for what I say, however, I do not accept responsibility for how people interpret what I say.

I didnt reply to your posts on this blog as I felt you were making a statement and proposing reasons, therefore there was nothing to answer too.

Like everyone, you are entitled to an opinion of other members, however, I would suggest voicing an opinion that is directed towards a certain person in an open forum is bad manners.
