it takes a big person to apologise...

sorry everyone, seems i misinterpreted Ralph's apology. So apologies to Ralph also... this mail from Ralph has set me straight on that: Subj: Re: A Town Called Basildon... Date: 25/11/01 20:28:43 GMT Standard Time From: RDARTFORD To: Simon66 Simon The thing is mate. You really have no self control do you. I bet you were bullied at school. Grassing is a terrible thing, worse than winding people up. What it really does is reveal above all your complete lack of self respect. The Disenchanted (there were three of us to be honest) were pissed off at the falling quality of the site. You have just reinforced everything that we were talking about. By outing me what have you achieved, a Christmas card from Emily and Tony. A sneaky cherry from Andrew Pack. There will always be only one winner me old sausage and it wont be me or you. Ralph (How abt it other two? Wanna own up like Ralph?)

wishes he had logged in earlier. missed larph's admission. but noticed woof woof got deleted on friday. never bite the hand that feeds you. I always liked that expression. Especially when related to domestic science. Larph

Bored of this now. I think there's no shortage of contact addresses for staff at abctales and it is perfectly fine for anyone to send a comment or complaint in. I think in the past that when people have asked a question, staff here have answered it. And to be honest, I don't really give a damn who Disenchanted was, either they are disenchanted and they have gone, or they are still here. Either way I haven't lost any sleep. If people have genuine suggestions or complaints, we will try to solve them. For my mind, easily the worst thing about the site in the last year has been the squabbling in the forums. If people who desire to be writers can't rise above name-calling to substantiate their arguments then that's rather a shame.

fair points andrew... but you weren't the one being abused, and they weren't your tears falling in the real world away from the forums... anyway, i agree with your general principle about complaints and, hopefully, now that we've seen the back of one 'anonymous' bully, the others may think twice before they post.

...did i miss something ? *resolves to log on a lot more*

i'm confused. feels like i've gone to sleep half way through the film and just woken up at the end and am not quite sure what type of film i've been watching. what kind of film have i been watching?

a horror film with a happy ending
