Thanks Kat100 x.It's just not on ......tc beachbag x
You might not feel threatened others might, it would be better to report them so at least that incarnation can be banned.The people never actually post on the forum. Just send private conversations and disappear. I have no doubt others receive them too. If I felt threatened I would report them. It isn't anything like as bad here as other forums I've used in the past .
but only the good looking folks have received them, sorry guys

I think it's more a case of UNpopularWhat it is to be popular! LOL.

I guess we're diamonds to some folks and stones to others-can't win 'em all I guess!
Gosh, I'd never thought of it like that! A nice positive thought. Thanks xyzzyYou'd be amazed at who has sent me abusive PM's in the past ...
If you're getting them it means you are making a difference so keep it up!

Sorry if I rushed to judgment. From the part you posted (which I assumed was the whole PM), your public post did seem unkind, which shocked me because from your other posts you aren't an unkind person; but clearly I didn't know the context. Thanks for clarifying. I'm glad my first impression of you was right!If you saw the rest of the post and the others I've received from various anonymous people you may be even more shocked!!
Good points made you have to make 5 posts first....so how did this happen....Private messages (PM's) or conversations call them what you like should be as the name suggests "PRIVATE" and it is very bad form to post one to the open forum.
If you receive a PM that you feel is inappropriate then forward it to a moderator or Giverny thats what they are there for.
To post this on the open forum and mock the sender for his appearance is outrageous and if you are not sure if the PM is genuine then a courteous reply saying that you dont know anything about the condition would have been a better thing to do, of course you could also have reported it if you think that it was improper but from what you have posted it sounds like a genuine request for help to me.
And how is it possible for a member who has never posted to send PM's? You always had to have made 5 posts to use the PM feature? If that is no longer the case then it should be rectified immediately if only to stop spam.
This whole thread should be removed IMHO.
I have deleted the name of the condition as it doesn't really affect this thread as it was more to do with the PM than the content. Some good points made here but I do think it may be better to report any PM's of concern in the future as not everyone may be as strong as yourself Beachbag ( not sure if strong is the right word lol but couldn't think of a better one ! ) and may worry unduly.I wonder if people would consider editing out the name of the condition I worry that this thread would come up on a search by someone affected. It is an 'other' cause of diabetes's
