Q&A a new catagory?

[carrust]

Following dot hawkes tragic industrial accident ,the poor woman will be filling AB with Q's & A's. To save space & time does anyone else think that she should be given a catagory to herself, & what it should be called?

[B00]

Point taken Engima :-)

And yep, you do (obviously) have the right to say that you found what Dotty wrote as offensive. What I was objecting to was the very fact that a post was made to attack another user. As a long standing AB user, you yourself must know that it's against AB rules and just plain...well...not nice!

[dot.hawkes]

enigma, send the ed an email about my responses if it will make you feel better. i shall send you a copy of the death certificate of the love of my life, he died 3 years ago at 52 years old, guess what the inquest result was.

It is here in black + white! dot.broken toes.hawkes posted at 10.57 sat 19th "email the ed etc", so why did you naz deny it was her? Are you dot.hawkes? Did you forget to change your username? Is this what WM has on you?

[enigma]

Boo - I wasn't aware that the question was posed as a form of attack , merely tongue in cheek. If the answers which I have given have been considered a form of attack , then I of course apologise because they were not intended to be. I was merely stating an opnion because it is a subject where I feel particularly raw but I did not insult Dot and used the words'with all due respect ' to Daftpixie so I do hope that no-one has interpreted my posts as being personal. I do not know Dot but I was offended by her remarks and wished to say so. It takes a lot to offend me but that did and I can't bite my tongue when something annoys me. Some things I agree with Dot about and others I do not. Such is life. This is one of those occasions when I do not. I note however that naz-nomad mentioned a punch up. I have no interest in getting nasty with anyone - not my style. Just expressing an opinion - nothing more , nothing less.

[fee-is-me]

Dot and i do not see eye-to-eye on many things but i am gobsmacked at the intensity of feeling for her right now. (Over this issue.)

This is a public site and anyone can say what they damn well please (Ms Ed... apols).

Mnko can say what he wants and dot can say what she wants.

Stop bloody ranting on about what dot says. SHE has an opinion and is entitled to air it.

We are hopefully all adults and can see another's point of view, even if we don't agree with it.

I happen to second what dot said wholeheartedly.

Live and let live.

And stop using this site for 'attention'... otherwise we would all be at it.

[dot.hawkes]

what do you mean pieandmash?

[daftpixie]

Pie+Mash, what are you on about?

Naz thought someone else said it, Dot said no, that it was her. End of! Dont come in here making accusations of aliases etc, no need!

[dot.hawkes]

i knew you were here for a purpose fee lol (been saving that up!!!!!!!!!)

[dot.hawkes]

good call on the firefighter thead DP excellent

[Pippa68]

Ahhhhh purpose..that was the one I was tryin to think of! thanks dotty, it was drivin me mad last night.

[fee-is-me]

Lol @ dot!!!!!

Funnily enough no one has used that.

Big up to you and your opinions - whatever they may be.

It's a sad, sad place if we can't have an opinion.

No sarcasm, i can assure you :0)

[B00]

No I didn't mean you Engima, you haven't said anything offensive or nasty, just that you disagree with Dotty, which is fair enough. What I meant was that the orginal postee, Carrust, was wrong in making this thread in the 1st place.

[fee-is-me]

Get ya sponge Pippsicle ;0)

[RATTER15]

Im feeling suicidal!! HELP!!!!

[dot.hawkes]

Oh I think he was having a bit of a laugh really, at least i hope so, anyway, it's pretty hard cheese on anybody who bothers about me posting answers on here cos, as i said, enforced recuperation guys, I do have a book to read though and Bob said earlier to try a few fantasy things so i may have a look.

[enigma]

Dot - I have no intention in emailing the ed over this matter. To reiterate what I said earlier , you are entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. I was merely making a point. I found your remarks cruel and felt the need to say so - done. With regards to your late dear departed , I find that so sad. I guess I know understand why you said what you did. Perhaps we just respond differently. I still find it too raw to make jokes about it but I guess I recognise the need for some to express pain through humour(If that is the case with you but obviously as I do not , I am purely submising and I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong)

fee-is-mee - Isn't that what I said ? That everyone can post what they want ? What feeling is there for Dot ? I bear her no ill will. I do not know her and I do not harbour any ill feelings towards her , I can assure you. I simply disagreed with a few remarks which she made and exercised my right to say so. What's wrong with that ? I thought that we were merely discussing the issue. Have I missed something because as as far as I am aware , no-one has actually said anything bad about her. As far as I am concerned , I made a point and it's done and dusted. I didn't say that no-one should have an opinion so I hope that you are not including me in that.

Boo - Thanks. It wasn't my intention to upset anyone. I just thought that this post was tongue in cheek (not sure it was meant to be malicious. Didn't get that impression) All I wanted to do was make an opinion , just as anyone else would have done if they felt a bit annoyed by something and come on Dot , you are hardly renowned for keeping quiet when something annoys you , so you can't expect me to be any different. Not in my nature.

[fee-is-me]

enigma - you made some comments initially which came across as YOU criticising dot for trivialising mnko's issues.

As i saw it, he should NOT have been posting HERE if he was serious about doing himself some harm.

Attention seeking IS NOT useful.

Neither is it entertaining.

[enigma]

Fee-is-mee- Which comments ? As far as I can tell , I did not personally insult Dot , stated that I wouldn't dream of asking her to change her opinions as it wouldn't be her then and said that everyone has the right to post whatever they want - in accordance with Site Rules. I found Dot's comments offensive as I still sturggle to cope with the loss of someone special to suicide. It hurts and I will say to you what I said to Daftpixie , with all due respect , who are you to say who should or should not post here ? I agree that it is not the BEST place to post for help - they should be talking to someone qualified to deal with these situations - however if it gives them hope that someone is listening -and often this is the trouble , they feel that no-one is listening - then they may take the next step to get professional help. Hurtful , insensitive comments could be enough to tip an already fragile individual over the edge. If any help can be offered on here then I am glad. I would rather help someone with a genuine question than it being rubbished in favour of a question like "What's everyone having for dinner tonight ?" or "What drink do you have in your hand right now ?" Surely the ethos of Body and Soul is discuss affairs of the heart and personal worries.

"Attention seeking is NOT useful.Neither is it entertaining."

Neither is telling someone not to make a mess when they kill themself or to save up plenty of change for the phone in case they get kept in hospital. What happened to compassion ?

[fee-is-me]

See? You have just done it WITHOUT mentioning dot's name.

Mnko DID NOT go to the right place.

It was inappropriate.

And it is fee-is-me.
