    I totally agree Sticky, what an unkind attack on someone who is already upset and low, and who thinks he has been forgotten.
    I too wish Tonesp will come back and post, we desperately need more kind and supportive men folk here to balance things up.

    I have reported the posting by Rehab because I feel it is offensive and upsetting and not at all helpful to anyone.

    Please note: Rehab, not to be confused with rehab44

    Sticky your comment was well said and I agree with you

    Tonesp, I hope you are feeling a little better today and also hope you have popped in to see how many people would miss you if you left.

    Take care
    Love Juliepf x

    For someone who has only posted 13 times, Rehab (I've just checked), you seem to have an extraordinary insight into how the forum – allegedly – operates.

    What is more important though is that, in just one post, you have managed to insult Joan, rehab44, the previous webmanager and all the mods. That’s in addition to your earlier post insulting tonesp.

    I think an earlier thread of yours was about cyber bullying. I suggest you re-read it.

    Hello tonesp, I sincerely hope you have looked in to see our messages of good will and support - well, the majority of them are. You are missed when you're not about - but then being busy with the new post-hip life it's understandable why you're not! I wish you and Mrs Tonesp a Happy Easter. DD

    PS Well said, Sticky. I couldn't find the words.

    As a new member, I was just telling my visiting family how glad I was that I had come across this Forum. Now I`m not too sure.

    There seems to be a hidden agenda at work, and I am now left feeling rather vulnerable.

    I can assure you there is no need to feel that way, RosieGlow: I am not sure who this buffoon is but I think it safe to say that he is not offering that much in the way of support. The forum IS about helping those with arthritis, not game-playing which is what your man here appears to be trying to do. DD

    Thanks marrianne and dreamdaisy for the reassurances.

    Forums are a new experience for me, although sadly arthritis isn`t.

    By the way dreamdaisy...I know what you meant, but thankfully he isn`t my man!!.....Rosie.

    Aaaaagh! I know I should have phrased that better - conversational English/Irish was completely the wrong choice. :oops: I am very sorry. :oops: DD

    PS. My apologies to you too, Tonesp. :oops: I think your thread has been thoroughly hijacked but I hope you can understand why.

    Whilst I do not like the posts of Rehab (is he/she peepeepeter in
    disguise?) he does have a point.
    If the originator of this post has thrown a wobble and decided to
    leave the site it is his choice.
    He seems to have received a load of belated good wishes but hasnt
    returned.

    Yes.
    Tones started a thread expressing his reasons for leaving the site. I do not class this as a wobble or wobbly.
    Tones may well have logged on to read any replies and if so I feel for him because there was absolutely no need for him to have been attacked in such a horrid manner.

    Sadly, on a few occasions recently I have felt ashamed to be associated with this forum. Today is one of them.

    I for one will never feel ashamed of being associated with this forum. It has offered me great solace in the past, the present and (knowing arthritis as I do) no doubt the future. Unlike some on here I try to support and encourage and I also have the wit to realise that pain, frustration and sheer distress can lead to posts that the owner may later wish to retract but cannot. The arrogant buffoonery of one individual should not be credited with any measure of influence. Does he shame me or the rest of us? I think not. He shames himself with his words and vituperative attitude. DD

    I think that's very harsh, Elna. As DD so very well puts it, this is merely one individual shaming himself. In fact, I believe all other forum members have acted with admirable restraint and I think that says a lot about the quality of individuals on here. I'm proud to be a member.

    Hope you are doing OK Tonesp and will pop in now and again.

    (Unfortunately there are some attention-seeking, jealous people in the world, and one of them has popped up on this site. They are probably inadequate and lonely, but nevertheless but they are not wanted on a good forum like Arthritis Care).

    I reported a posting on here yesterday and another posting on the thread had already been reported later in the day when I tried to do so. A Moderator was looking in last evening so I am surprised that nothing noticeable appears to have been done.

    Hi rehab I have removed your posting on Tones as it is unpleasant and unessasary towards a fellow poster. I am sorry i have had to do this i had thought apon reflection you would have removed it yourself so i gave you a days grace before i deleted.

    Thank you Moderator but what about Rehab's second post on that thread in which he was very insulting to Joan, rehab44, the previous webmanager and all the Mods? To me this is just as bad.

    Members of the forum cannot delete/edit their own messages on the forum after a time limit of about 10 - 15 minutes after posting which has presumably be sent up in this way for varous reasons.
