Thank you for your support re the abusive post further down this page..

It is one thing being called thick but to be called a thick **** is a bit much!

I hope we don't see that person again on the site.

I totally agree with you K, you are a star ABer!

Calling someone a thick **** is totally unacceptable.

I hope I'm not the only person who reported the answer.

And hear hear kayakamina. I only use this site as a last resort - what's the point of having someone else do the puzzxle for you.

Having had the benefit of your assistance on more than one occasion, I completely agree with your post, K. Most people on this site observe an unwritten code of decency and decorum; we don't want the few that do not.

K, In case you do not read my further answer to you on my previous question, I will repeat that there are many, many people on this site who value your wise and clever answers and think a lot about you. Best Wishes.
P.S. If you are thick, I don't know what that makes the rest of us!!!

Agree with the last speakers - have reported the answer

What post? Is it still viewable?

Having not seen the actual abuse myself I probably shouldn't comment.....but shocking though it obviously was he apologised immediately and I think he should be given credit for so doing.

We have all made mistakes / misjudgements, and I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt that his posting was made with the best of intentions originally.
His abuse was far worse, but he has probably come from another site where this sort of exchange is commonplace. We should turn the other cheek and teach him some manners by our example. And he can't find a better teacher than Kayakamina.

Everyone here appreciates K's great wisdom, powerful intellect and devious mind, as well as his unfailing courtesy to everyone - novice and experienced solvers alike. And his explanations of tricky clues are always helpful. We all know how lost we have been for the last week while he's been having trouble with his computer.

Do you remember someone who made his debut on this site by accusing us all of being sad and telling us to get a life.? He very quickly learned how mistaken he was and is now a well-liked, active, and respected member of our community.

I take your point kettledrum...didn't see the thread myself.
I suppose it was the rudeness that upset people. Like you say, on other sites it may be part of the norm, but we're not like that on here, and we have to keep it that way! Hopefully he will see that.
Kindest regards...Pauline x

I didn't see the post but would like to add my 2 pennyworth.

I know it's upsetting but take no notice kayakamina. You know who your friends are and we know that we can rely on you

When I first started using the Ab site I got quite a nasty response and the speed at which others rushed to my aid was heartwarming. I have since forgotten who the culprit was or what was said so quickly did the kind people on the site comfort me. Long may you be there for us who need you x
