Wow thanks muchly you lot I really appreciate the support deeply I'd only popped on to check me mail but thought I'd have a look about for a change!, I honestly thought after all the c**p that’s gone on, on here I was an almost extinct over hunted species (as were a few older well known male posters) that dare not show it’s face in case the all vigilant super aggressive hater trolls simply resumed their hunt.
I must say it was the 2nd rehab thread finished me off after that I thought what the feck is the point to it all, plus me asking people to have my account closed never got answered so that confirmed to me my worry that this place was totally out of control and the likes of me were not welcome anymore (maybe a tad paranoid but hey you know me?), to me trust is a highly valuable currency that should be used wisely but once it’s gone then there’s no more to be said so I left as it’s all we really have on here that’s real on the web and once that went then the forum was in my eyes a total farce akin to the deck of the Titanic just before it went glug, and as the water came up at me I concluded all I’d done on the good ship RMS Arthritis Care was for nowt and now I knew it was only a short matter of time before I got wet so I opted to take my destiny into my own hands and decided to jump, well it seemed pointless to keep scrabbling up the metaphorical deck simply to avoid the inevitable so over the railings I went!.
It hurt but not as much as the false rehab thread did I can tell you.
Anyway I’ve been up to all sorts of things and have used the time well sorting out pension stuff etc I’ve been busy growing me Chilli’s and veg and all’s well in me greenhouse, I must say life’s been so much better away from forums simply because they attract trolls who are nasty and destructive and this site is no different and has been seriously infected in the past so I’d imagine they are still on here just in earshot waiting to pounce on the older male established posters who seem to be their number one target why beats me but there you go that’s internet trolls for you.
As always time will tell though but even with my tinnitus I’m sure I can just hear them far off in the distance cackling like witches coven round a cauldron, as I say time will tell I guess(again!).
Now that said I can’t see me posting much on here right now but I am back in some form , I’ll see how I feel over the next few weeks and months OK?. I will as normal pop on to check my in box at least.
