Apologies and goodbye

It seems I have been reported for swearing by several members for which I must apologise, I was reacting to a post without stopping to think and was incensed with the DWP yet again.

However, I feel that as there are obviously people here who would rather speak 'behind my back' than message me, where I would have happily apologized, I don't feel that I can be a part of their group.

I wish you all well in the future.

    hey... Please don't leave.... :shock:
    I can't believe folks couldn't just pm you if they were upset with your posts..
    Anyone having problems with the dwp r-soles should understand anyway..
    I know right now you're upset, take some time out maybe but don't dissapear..

    Dear Fols, I am so sorry to hear this. I ask you to please reconsider your decision. You are a valued (by me and a lot of others on this forum) member of the forum. You are helpful, caring and funny. I for one would miss you.
    As for the swearing, we are all adults. If it offends don't read it!
    I hope you change your mind.
    All the best,
    Numpty

    I am sorry to hear that you are thinking of leaving, Fols. In the terms and conditions it does mention hardcore swearing is not permitted. I did not read your posting so am unable to comment on what word(s) you used but I was under the impression that the swear words used in EastEnders is acceptable on the forum.

    I hope you reconsider and stay.

    Folara, please PLEASE reconsider. There may be some on here who have the tolerance levels of bone china but the rest of us don't - and we're the ones with whom you belong. You are a kind and supportive friend - I enjoy reading your posts and replies to people and I for one don't want you to go. DD

    Fols you have answered my posts, supported lots and lots of people and your opinion is valuble please dont let this be the end of your posts,every one has there own opinions and if people dont like what they read they should be big enough to tell you instead of reporting you , dont allow it to stop you posting on here, i think the majority appreciate honest opinions even when they are sometimes heated, it is a very emotive buisness being ill and you are intitled to vent, if you go how will others be able to vent there frustration , i for one will vent when need be and if others dont like it thats to bad and if i get told of so be it we live in a free sociaty what happened to freedom of speech , take care and please come back xxxx ((((((( ))))))) Jane

    Hi Fols,

    As Del says, quite a few of us have had our knuckles rapped for one reason or an other, even goody two shoes, me :wink::lol: and I am still here to tell the tale. :D

    Hi Fols

    I am so very sorry you have decided to leave us..............you have been so very supportive to me and I have never read anything you have posted that hasn't been uplifting to the rest of us!

    If this isn't the place where we can let off steam, then where the h*ll is?

    I do believe a measure of TOLERANCE from the people reading posts and also moderators is what is required!

    Judge not lest ye be judged..............or some such

    Bless your heart..............you are such a good soul

    lots of love

    Hi Fols i have not been on this forum for long.. but you were one of the very kind people on here that made me feel welcome..iv read many of the posts you have done and iv always found your advice and comments sound and valuable...

    im sorry some one has been offended by what you have said (iv not read the post).....but i think weve all offended some-one some-how at one time or another!!...i think most people on here want you to stay as i do...

    its hard to accept that we sometimes upset people because of course we never would intentially do such a thing......it hurts us to think we have...but as i read on here..people on this forum are often in pain and suffering and maybe some days feel more sensitive or might feel
    like hitting out...i do hope you can over-come the hurt you feel and remain with your friends here.....

    Hi Fols. I didn't read that post so don't know what you said but I can understand you being upset when you wrote it. I think you did enough by apologising and that should be the end of it. You have offered advice and support and you are a valuable member here. I hope you stay.

    hi Fols.

    I so hope you will reconsider, you have been a good friend to many here, including me.

    Flower knuckle raps are gentle here and swearing isn't really allowed but at the same time we all get so frustrated at times.

    Fols my eyes are rubbish just now and I didn't see your post but we sometimes get our knuckles tapped but you don;t have to leave.... you really don;t so please reconsider.

    It might not be someone making complains an talking behind your back my friend. The mods remove some swearing as a matter of course as the rules say we mustn't. We have kids as members so that's why the rules say it I guess.

    Just have a think and know you are a valued member of the forum and please reconsider. ((( ))) and just don;t go. Cris xx

    Hey I hope this is something near readable Fols the eyes are just not good.
