Hi Briskem
You are not on your own, the same happens to me from the same source..so I am in full agreement with what you say

get off LizzeAnn, she fair.

I do not have the power to delete anyone else's comments. I physically cannot do that.

I did not see your posting on the birthday thread at all, so I don't know what you are talking about!!

Thank you for your support, Ros I do try to be fair and unbiased.

You welcome LizzieAnn

if you read the comment CORRECTLY you will notice it did not say that you deleted the comment yourself just that you are the one that complains and it mysteriously vanishes from the forum

How sad that this thread is still in existence. It is depressing that we all can't have fun on here without resorting to unpleasantness.

THE THREAD IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO FREE SPEECH NOT WHAT LIZZIEANN SAYS WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT

With LizzieAnn on this, why the unpleasantness.

Ros there is no unpleasantness at all.....its called "Freedom of Speech" which everyone is entitled to...you are having your say arent you???

but i'm not having a go at anyone

Nor am I, just stating the facts...have you never heard of freedom of speech Ros, we dont have to agree with what everyone says all of the time i.e you dont agree with what I am saying and I dont agree with what you are saying...Voila..We have "freedom of speech"

Hi everyone - of course you don't have to agree with everything someone says - however there's no need to single one person out on our forum for your criticism. LizzieAnn is one of the forum's Customer Service Champions and does a great job (with George) of keeping the conversation on the forum going.

By all means disagree but please think before you type.

Charlotte

I agree with Charlotte here.

Briskem and Janet, I'd be the first person in the queue for defending my right of free speech; however, I do believe that one's right to exercise free speech should be practised with a degree of responsibility. Singling someone out because you have a suspicion they might be behind something is not free speech, but raising the question with the person in a polite and decent way would have been much more acceptable.

What has happened to this thread?

I am happy to defend free speech also.

I am doing my best to be able to answer questions and help people on this forum and sadly am accused of being a one woman show. It is sad because as you know George is unable to be here right now to help as he has just lost his father, so I am trying to be 2 CSCs at once. I know I don't match up to George who's banter is better than I, but if I am doing a terrible job of answering questions and helping people then maybe I should just shut up?

Free speech is what this country was built on. But it does take two to make an argument. I refuse to argue with anyone.

DON'T YOU DARE SHUT UP OR I WILL COME AND HAUNT YOU REMEMBER. I AM NO LONGER IN THE WORLD.
Baggy

Go on Baggy, you tell her to keep talking. And you keep up your wee banter with her.

Don't need to shout at me, Baggy!! I was once haunted by a cat, my poor little Tigger, when he passed on, he kept turning up at my door to ask for his breakfast, it was quite sad really....I just had got so used to him waking me up early, I kept hearing his scraping at my door....sorry for hijacking the thread.

OK, George, I will quote you on that, now......GEORGE HAS TOLD A WOMAN TO KEEP TALKING.....I wonder how the other male panellists will take that.....especially John Fitch, who is often telling me that I nag....LOL Nice you are back amongst us, both George and John and Baggy, and I will never let you go....as the song goes....

I enjoy Briskem1 and his banter, but forgive me Briskem, (no offense meant) how do you now it is Lizzie who is getting your posts deleted? That is very accusing,especially without 100% evidence.

I agree with you on that one Serena - I enjoy Briskem's quirkiness, but with respect, I would never single someone out like that, even if I had proof. I think it would have been kinder to raise it privately, via the moderators.

Personally, I would've been mortified by that comment.
