*Please read*

Okay guys - I've had quite a few emails about the tone of this forum. It does resemble a pub brawl more than a support space at the moment. I haven't as yet waded in and deleted messages and threads but maybe it is time to do so.

Over the last few years this message forum has been a great place to come and chat to others who understand the day-to-day business of living with arthritis but at the moment all the good will seems to have gone and a lot of back biting and unpleasent name-calling has taken over. I've not had time to go through every message but I've read enough to think this is now time to stop.

I've also had an email from someone saying messages have gone on the board by someone using their name - not good!

Please be respectful of other people's point of view about life and living and let's be a little more supportive of each other. I don't want to ban individuals but will if this doesn't stop - I also may take some time to delete each and every thread that has bad stuff on it. I haven't really got time over this weekend and I have other things to do but if it doesn't stop by next week I shall have to be more Hands-On on a daily basis.

Hope this is clear...

Good for you Trina.. Could not agree more.. just hope it has not put anyone off.. It is a very supportive forum with lots of good caring people prepared to offer great support and advise where required.

Trina Sorry you got the extra worked load because of one or two individuals. We do appreciate you and this forum. Thanks

here here .
just have a look at the adresses of the people posting in other peoples names please trina.
you may not like my views jill but thats no reason to deny other people the use of the information i have posted on here.
unfortunatly for you ,you dont own the forum and the title of "imposter" does nothing but make me realise how this situation has got to the childish depths that you have dragged it to.
yet again this wont be palletable to you as it contains things like the truth and reasoning, lets get back to the truth please as thats where real help will always be found.

Hiya Jill,
A great way for you to stop getting stressed and upset is to simply schroll past anything that you know will irritate you.
Like lynne says if there is no audience there is no show.
Trust me it works
Take Care

Hiya Val, I tend to carry a little flannel around with me this weather and any time I am around water I swish it under the cold water tap,and wipe over my face, neck and arms its really refreshing.Maybe thats would help keep you cool at work.
You can buy a mist spray as well thats supposed to cool you down, but things like that scare me in case they are made up of nasty stuff lol.
