Quite right, Rowan. Abbey is not a child and if she seeks opinions she's going to get opinions. She clearly wasn't perturbed by those opinions because she kept asking the same sort of question, almost by rote.
However, I would be genuinely upset if I thought I'd offended her. I am surrounded by people in my daily life who just say it as it is and I can't help but do the same sometimes.
Sadly I think there are people who want to stir it up for their own nefarious reasons on this thread but I'll just do what I normally do and ignore them.

I've been guilty of moaning at Abbey in the past, but I now think she is insecure and looks to others for endorsement. People of any age can feel that way. Ridiculing her or playing the high and mighty is simply unkind.
As for her choice of clothing, that isn't an age thing either. It's not unusual these days for young women - and 31 is young - to wear the sort of thing Abbey posts. Anyone who thinks that doesn't happen needs to get out more.

Sadly there are a few ABers who appear kind on one thread and then mock her on another. No wonder Abbey is sensitive about her situation.
As ABed has explained, he has temporarily put her profile as user-inactive while he sorts out her suspected security.
Treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself.

//We are not all nasty or unpleasant.//
Indeed, although I have been on the receiving end of some unprovoked and unpleasant attacks from you, working in tandem with others.

Where has Abbey been mocked? She asked for opinions, she got opinions. Some people might make sarcastic or flippant comments but that is called wit and is not akin to mocking someone.

Oh for goodness sake, Abbeyleighis allegedly 31 years old, she gets her answers to the many questions she asks about jobs,clothes etc, on the job front she rarely takes any advice anyway which is why I mainly stay away from her posts , as for the post from Lcg, it was no more than a bit of fun but had truth in it, she was going out and asked what dress she should wear , it wasn’t malicious at all , I’m not going to join the chorus of come back Abbeyleigh, if she does ,she does, FGS, she is a grown woman….she says, not a young teenager , she may have a few problems I agree but advising her is liking hitting one’s head off a brick wall so basically, I don’t!
I hope her security issue is sorted, I’ve been there and it’s not nice, I wish her well

//Where has Abbey been mocked? //
//I am sure you know the answer to that ...
Not on one of Abbey's threads, but elsewhere.//
If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have asked the question. However if you are erroneously referring to the question I asked about what to wear, the question is actually a genuine one. As one of the oldest mothers there I am naturally conscious about my appearance.
//Subtle difference between sarcasm/wit and mocking.//
No, the difference is quite stark. Mocking someone in a cruel way is unnecessary. You can poke fun at someone or even yourself without there being anything sinister behind it. I work in an office with 5 other ladies (the rest of the Team is spread across another 2 offices) and they are the most sarcastic (hilarious) bunch of women I've ever met - and I love it. I consider them all to be not only colleagues but friends.
