I have recently and quite rightly been locked out of the forum mainly for a post referring to HR, and probably a few other comments. Having this pointed out to me by Andy Davie, i have read back the post and must agree it came over as disrespectful and offensive. I do tend to run-off at the mouth when i get upset but that is no excuse for attacking a group of people doing their job. Also i do understand that the forum is not the place to be ranting about a personal experience, and i wish to apologize to anyone that i have offended or upset. I have been given some very valuable and sensible advice by forum members and the professionals and would like to carry on being involved.

I am still new to this (just started a DMP- CCCS) and am sure i wiil be needing guidance and advice along the way.

Thanks iamfubb2

Thank you for the apology - I am sure that other posters will be happy with that.

We do have to be careful what we say on here.

Also -- thank you for the apology.

It is a problem that what sounds perfectly reasonable in our heads as we type doesn't quite come out the same way in a post. We have to remember that there is just the bare written word, no body language or other cues.

I am sure I have over stepped the mark accidentally now and again :-)

As I have often said, some of the deeper discussions we have on here would go down far better around a table with a drink or two at hand.

Anyway -- I am rambling again .......

We just have to remember that new (and old) posters may get offended by things posted on here.

Most things go down better over a bottle of wine of a couple of pints!

Nice apology iamfubb! I sometimes go a bit far too...I've got a hide like a rhinocerous and forget other people can be a bit more sensitive.

Glad to see you posting again x

A bit of banter can be quite good fun! Though of course not advocating offending people :)

Thanks for the apology - welcome back!

I must admit if I lose my rag over a thread on here I tend to just walk away or it just ends up with me getting stressed over it!

Thank you for the apology.

The forum is here for advice and support -unoffensive ranting is also allowed ( I've been known to rant myself)[:)]

i like a good rant,im sure there will be people on here who agree and dis-agree with a lot ive said on here,and sometimes i think ive overstepped the mark,im sure the pressures of being in debt have a lot to do with it,but the good thing is you can air your own feelings regarding various issues you may have,hopefully we will all come through our stressful times in the end,and im sorry to anybody who ive upset next time get the tissues out ha ha

If anyone really oversteps the mark then they will be told about it.

Over the years there have been some horrendous posters that have caused a great deal of trouble.

Thankfully they are few and far between now!

Hi Terry! It's ok to be opinionated as it would be a boring frum if we all sat on the fence!

You will be told if you overstep the mark as i know from experience :)
