You are completely whitewashing what happened. You were aware of the filth and you chose to look the other way. I called you out on it at the time. I can assure you that the reports to the police were real and some action was taken. You can scoff all you like but I have inside knowledge of this. I am obviously pleased for you that you found congenial the vile Puglove (or Pugugly as I recall you calling her privately before you joined that forum). However, she was at serious risk of prosecution.
I have no sense of humour on this and only call it out now because there are members here who did not experience the horror of what went on and I do not want them to be lulled into believing there was only a bit of harmless banter Around six members here were subjected to the most vile abuse. Some here rallied to defend them, risking attacks themselves. Others chose to look the other way, preferring to keep in the good books of the abusers. You remember the filthy attacks on Grahame's daughter don't you Jane? Did you call them out on it?
You're correct, Neil. I did, indeed, refer to her as "Pug ugly"! I suspect, as I'd have had no other frame of reference, such to have been guided by what was claimed about her here. I can't recall when it was that I made my first, somewhat hesitant, journey over to red, but I'd been a member here for years before I dared! it was nowhere near to being as bad as I'd been led to believe. I most certainly didn't experience, from anyone there, the sort of threats and abuse, I've received, on occasion, from one or two, here. I'm sure "reports to police" occurred. However, whether, as a result, they found a situation which could warrant prosecution, may be questionable, as it may have been the case had I reported, to them, the threats made to me? I could not have been unaware of the acrimony between the two forums. For a time, it was constant.
I do recall the attacks against Grahame's daughter, who, if I recall, was very poorly at the time. You ask "Did you call them out on it?" Well, NO, I didn't because I don't recall that it was ever mentioned on Red, at least, not in my time there. Nor do I recall them being "called out" by anyone here, although Grahame was supported. I do recall, though, that Grahame wasn't very popular, something that he, himself, may have been responsible for? I also recall the obnoxious slurs he made against Dr Craig, as I expect, do you? For the last year of his life, I was in contact with Vic who was, if you recall, a close friend of Grahame. I have no way of knowing how much truth was behind some of what Vic told me. I had no sense of him 'telling tales', but he described someone with a very short fuse who had an unhappy knack of ruffling feathers. I guess, like the rest of us, he called it as he experienced it.
