i remember that night in chat and am pleased to report that the person in question is now at SMART. i made a point in the chat room that night that folk shouldnt ignore ot talk over someone who is trying to make a point, especially if new to room. I was then called a newbie freak!! i never go in now until i have looked who is in the room! That said chat is a wonderful facility when you do feel the need to chat and like starts says this is not a place for hurtful criticism so please return at some point when you feel ready.:h

KW, I am sure you aren't meaning to imply that mean-spirited posts and comments are considered OK on the SMART site... I've spent a bit of time there, and find that it's quite cordial and well-regulated... That being said, I think that mean people will find a way to be mean, regardless of what site moderators (hall monitors?) can do to try to keep things on an even keel!

'67... believe me, I know exactly what you mean, about the "if I want someone to be mean I can just call my mother" comment... !

of course not WIP - as you know I have been to SMART and some fabulous people and tools on that website. I was just reassuring 1967 that I had ntoiced the 'one' in question had gone. No offence WIP, both these websites offer so much help and support, everyone will find what they need depending on what suits them best x The important thing is that nasty comments are not welcome anywhere!
