Forum members. Please think twice before labelling others.
 

So one of my closest friends on here now wants to quit Tibb because they've been labelled Anti Semitic when they are clearly nothing of the kind!

People take things to heart and if we could please remember this. The quote in question was deleted as it seemingly caused uproar. No offence was intended, and a lot of distress has been caused. Maybe back off her would be an idea.

I expect this will be deleted but I wanted to make my point.

Deleting anything that questions anything really isn’t the finest move of the mods.

I think it has to be part of the forum that people can call others out.

I don't think anyone wants Ness to leave, and I'm sure once she's relaxed a bit, neither will she. Seems like a bit of a storm in a teacup that will settle own after a few hours.

I think its been really harsh on her. Unnecessary.

Tbh she still hasnt explained what she meant by the "I think Not" comment.
Perhaps if she could do that then we would could understand her stance better.

I mean, some of what she wrote was pretty dodgy (to say the least), so I don't think anyone was in the wrong for calling her out on it. it would have died down after a day as something else would have cropped up, so creating a scene about it actually drags it out longer than just not replying and leaving the discussion where it was.

It's not pleasant, but Ness has to just own it and leave it be. It's not really a big deal.

To be honest I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Perhaps she should be left alone. She has requested the thread closed. The reactions are really upsetting her.

I do recall the comment and I was surprised it came from Vanessa….having said that most of us know Vanessa doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. It’s a forum…sometimes comments don’t come across quite how they are meant.

Come on Ness….we all know you are an inoffensive and wouldn’t have meant anything untoward.

These things happen, Vanessa. That's why I don't like to talk politics. :cool:

Exactly Rusti and Ness definitely did state she was sorry if she caused offence. So she did 'own it' and the thread should be deleted in respect of her wishes.

Hopefully it will be seen as a learning experience ultimately, no one was unkind about it and the responses were well intentioned but it did need to be made very clear that the comments were not acceptable

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Which is why I would like Vanessa to explain to us what she actually meant. Cause deep downI know she didnt mean how it read.

I can't agree. The outcome was a very upset lady. She's asked for the thread deleted. Can we have this courtesy.

I've closed the thread now, wouldn't normally do that for a news story but as this one was only really posted with a certain 'angle' in mind I think it's okay

If anyone else wants to start a thread on the topic if any new info comes to light then they are welcome to

Discarded rubbish found in tunnel.

It's been requested deleted??

If everyone requested thread deletion of a thread they've looked a dick in, there wouldnt be any left.

I think closing was the best move.

it's easy for anyone to be led down a path of misinformation at the moment. The volume of nonsense published has never been greater. Everyone needs to be wary of it

Kate….I don’t think this thread is helping the situation. All you are doing is highlighting the post and what was said.
Vanessa has said she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore…and that’s exactly what we are doing…

She didn't "look a dick" as you charmingly put it. People make mistakes, hers was simply phrasing something badly, the backlash she got was far too harsh. If an OP requests a thread deleted for genuine reasons then it should be done.

I'm just standing up for my friend. I feel she's being badly treated and the balance needs redressing. I have pmd people about it. I'll shut up now.

Two eggs don’t always make an omelette

Two omelettes don't always make a meal.

Well that’s just silly, one omelette can be called a meal
