Sorry to the rest of you, Bullies have had their way - I've thought about it, and I won't be posting any more

Bye and thanks to all who have enjoyed the menus, Mercia XX

[rinkins]

lol

choccy chuck - you could be onto a winner there

Mercia - I will miss you an AB. We have always got on well and I loved hearing about your 4-legs. I wish you and them the very best ♥

[merciasounds]

I'll miss you too ttfn - but needs must - call me stupid, but i didn't realise that I was so hated on here. I took Lotte to the vets she had a tick on the back of her neck that had 'broken' off, either from playing with the kids or her collar, anyway the head was inside and caused a bit of a lump, that's what's made her run down - still she's all mended now thanks to the vet - paw-shakes and licky kisses to you from all three of your doggie friends, and a kiss and hug from me too Mercia XXX

Mercia... whether you feel you've been bullied or not, announcing your departure makes you seem little more than an attention seeker. Stay... go... but why announce it?

(can you leave the cheeses on the table before you go).

[ummmm]

Mercia...who mentioned hate? Stop being a drama queen.

I've read your earlier posts...as time went on you've become more and more elaborate.

Mercia - sorry for my flippant remarks, just read the thread fully and realise you didn't post it in CB and are, in fact, not joking.

I like to read your menus - it matters not to me whether you really do cook 'em. My advice (for what it's worth) is just post when you feel like it (like everyone else on CB does) and don't take any negative responses to heart.

'Twould be very boring on CB if everyone had the same opinion. Agreed folks? [:o)

I'll be sorry if you go mercia, it takes all sorts on here, and you injected something a bit different from time to time, a different viewpoint. I'll miss your kitchen even if it did come over as a bit over the top at times, but I wish I had your passion for food.

Mercia - I am pleased Lotte is ok now - always such a worry. I am at Big Sis' now and her faithful hound has dropped her like a hot cake for my attention and my bed! She always does, bless her. Good job Big Sis is not precious about her lurcher - she is happy to share her with me as she knows how much I miss my own dog now. I always make up my own mind about peeps and I shall miss you but I respect your decision. Take care all of you ♥

Mercia what you need is the recipe for clique pie once you have that you are laughing

Mercia.....announcing your departure with a fanfare probably wasn't the best idea as It's led to even more criticism of you

If you really are 'leaving' wouldn't it have been better to have just not posted again and left your detractors wondering why?

Plus if everyone who got criticised on here spat their dummys out and flounced off there'd only be the clique left on here!

You generally tend to give as good as you get when the flak is flying so why flounce off?

Doing that means that they've won

[Robinia]

Mercia could I just ask please if you're the same merciasound(s) who posts on umpteen food forum sites on the net?

[4getmenot]

dont think she's leaving joeluke just not posting anymore menus

[ttfn]

jl - I think silence from mercia would have been of interest/concern to not just her detractors as you call them

[boxtops]

she's said she's leaving 4get, there were things yesterday upset her, not just the menus. I missed it all, I'm just watching from the edge now.

[4getmenot]

I didnt, read most of it, sick of the arguing from both sides. Then you read other posts like bednobs in pregnancy and wonder if the people who are arguing have ever thought theres more important things in life
