my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.
Divergent, thanks very much. But he actually got removed from being a publisher when he was about 12.
He used to say things like " I hate the elders" "Dad is lying" to expose the mishandling of the domestic violence.
He the progressively refused to attend meetings and his dad was very inconsistent with forcing him. He last meeting was a CO visit which he went to after a long break. Shouted to everyone to stop staring at him and was removed by force.
this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.
when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.
so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.
I honestly don't know whether to question your motives or your sanity or you have some insecurity that you think you need some validation by anonymous strangers on the internet to solve. - Simon
I am using double negatives because I am overtired. You know it's really nice that you are even having a conversation with me to try and determine which it is. I know that I am not motivated by something sinister or untoward. But my mental state could be in question. I got upset and wanted some support. I am very emotional. It's nice of you not to rush to judgement. And I am very insecure too.

I've found myself feeling a little hurt or offended when someone misunderstood one of my poorly written comments and half baked ideas or when someone hit the dislike button after reading something I had written. - Pete
I have only ever seen you write good things. You say things in a kind and respectful manner and you are never impatient or aggressive to me

you are trying to claim that they are all bogus and the system is broken - Simon
I really don't want to get you angry. I wasn't claiming the votes were bogus, and I did read your explanation that they get cleared.
I don't want to debate with you it's 1.50am here in the UK and I am really tired. You're a good person for wanting to help people like me and I am grateful for all the support I get. I understand that you think it's wrong of me to crave attention. So I will stop being like that. Sorry Simon

If it helps, I find your portrayal of genuineness and sincerity very convincing. - Simon
If you don't think I am portraying myself inappropriately you have the power to delete my posts, but you normally just check me. If we have a problem, you are the owner and I will behave in a way that you feel is appropriate to maintain the privilege of being a member of your forum.
The last thing I want to do is break the posting rules or disrespect you

I normally post daily. I like results let's break it down and draw a conclusion. But to be fair I couldn't have, made 230 votes in one day. Unless my multiple votes were counted. I said I never use them, I should have said rarely, because they are not important to me.
So for every day that I post I vote less than once a day, but I wonder how many posts I make per month too, but not enough to go through them all to check. So in conclusion, I am being honest if I say I rarely vote. Would you agree?
Would be interesting to know how many I did today alone lol

Lol Simon hahaha. I have just been messing with them today. I wasn't really using them before today. But to be fair I couldn't have, made 230 votes in one day. Unless my multiple votes were counted. I said I never use them, I should have said rarely, because they are not important to me.
But Village Idiot obviously thought is was very surprising how many people dislike me. I guess he doesn't think I am as polarising as I actually am. It's nice that people see the good in me and recognise my genuineness and sincerity. If others don't like me and want to anonymously make a point of it that's just life.
there is a problem with the like and dislike buttons.
depending on what source you are using it is easy to vote more than once on the like or dislike.. i noticed this initially on my tablet touchscreen.
if i tap quickly & continuously click on the like/dislike button, it will register as multiple votes, the same happens on my laptop when i do the same thing with my mouse but this method doesn't register as many votes.it is only a matter of time for others to pick up on this and there may be some who are already aware of this.
Lol this is funny. I have just been messing with them today. And thought I was making multiple votes. I didn't take count of the number though, and didn't realise you could do 42 lol hahaha. Obviously Simon has it all under control.
Now please give me 100 likes so raise money for the sick alligators
Personally I don't really use them, all the pleas for likes and shares on facebook are stupid

I too can be an a-hole though I justify it when the other person is being really dense and offensive. I do take to constructive criticism though. - village idiot
lol haha, I might adopt that position too

Maybe chemistry and evolution is your thing but for Kate it is Biology and for me it is Finance and Child and women's advocate issues. - Rebelfighter
Actually chemistry is my thing, I used to be a chemical analyst, but now work for citizens advice, it's an advocacy service in the UK it's nice you want to help and advocate thank you
