You can't expect the aggrieved parties to just forget everything, can you?

In a perfect world, may be.
Lets put it this way in a earlier time the forum had a better smooth within reason existance im not saying forget and move on but the forum at one time had more mods and some were female and both were actually not bad you know who you are !

agreed.

Graham has a long way to go both with me personally and also with his attitude / posts on the forum, before my respect for him is anywhere near restored. It has severely plummeted given his disgraceful performance last week.

Going on about this till christmas eve will not solve anything , if grahame wishes to return nothing will be gained by resuming what was said,i was under the view this was a forum to discuss the case it may be once again.
You are right Mertol....

Yes I am joking but am so far from home that i look kindly on Everton these days. St Georges Everton was Liverpool fc anyway wasnt it before they broke away. My uncle was head of St Georges Everton School but he was deffo a Liverpool fc supporter.

Hey Neil. I hope you dont think of me as agrieved as I really am not. Whatever Mat says to me washes over me as unimportant and a bit sad. I am not harbouring any hatred towards him at all. My suggestion that he should maybe accept some responsibility was fair I think as even in divorce courts its usually 50/50, 40/60 or whatever.  Rarely is a dispute totally one sided.
I must say I do admire your fairness in the way you judge things. ;D

Grahame is a long standing member of this forum and deserves our support,which he obviously feels he didnt get.I agree he has made some very unfortunate posts of late but I feel that these were made out of anger and sheer frustration.And I see why! The two main instigators of the abuse toward Grahame are not even on British soil.They spout their filth from behind a computer screen from other countries.How cowardly! The upshot of this is that Grahame cannot involve the police or worse still,have the oppurtunity to front them out face to face.Can any of you image what this must do to a mans pride?He quite rightly wants to protect his family,and frustratingly his hands are tied.I know that if it were me in this position,my hubby would be on the first plane out to Luxembourg/Alicante,but Grahame is poorly himself and needed at home.
Grahame should be cut some slack imo and of course he should be welcomed back.Before the abuse from "over the way" started,Grahame was an excellent poster and with our support and compassion for what he is going through,can be again.
I for one look forward to your return Grahame.Fresh start eh?  ;) xx

Hi Tyler, great post! The internet is full of trolls and people trying to find out who you are. When they do find out all about you, they plaster all your details over the net. Grahame, Jackie and Keira have been victims of such abuse and we as posters should support them, even in their anger and frustration. But sometimes those that have been abused, sadly start to abuse others. I suggest time out and the other thing I suggest is not to look at the other forum if that forum is abusing you.

I recently looked on FACEBOOK where I saw Keira being abused and all her personal details revealed. Thankfully, facebook has a good tracking sytem and will take action if reported, unike Twitter who has no guidlines at all. There are many ways to report the abuse, but it is up to the idividual to seek help, in order to have this account brought to book.

At the end of the day, Grahame is an adult and as an ex mod he should be mindful of what he says and try hard not to get into any confrontation. I say to Grahame rise above it, don't being the other board to this forum, but deal with it sensibley behind the scenes. I will always support anyone who has been a victim of abuse, but I wont bring it too the forum...Does that make snese?  :) :) :)
