This may be long, but I am strong! It may sound too good but if I can help someone else to be strong by writing this I’ll be very glad on the back of what I’m seeing written and it’s affect on others making them leave!
When people write horrible things try to detach yourself and think, no one on here knows anyone other than by a ‘handle’ - the name we give ourselves on here.
It’s a bit like reading a book, we build the character interpretation from the way we think of what we read, imagine what they look like etc.
So, try to think of whatever these characters (trolls, slimey pieces of protoplasm)‘’handle” has said. if it’s nasty or out of order - then think of it as they were just writing in the pages of a book, it’s a story, just words from someone who doesn’t know you - they know your ‘handle’ and that’s it.
Think if it was translated into a foreign language you wouldn’t even know what it said!
Either they are just being nasty because they are generally nasty and that’s the limit of their capabilities every day, Just leave it at that, think no further! Don’t give them their applaud by leaving a place you wanted to be, for your own assistances and to give yours to others.
They are still just a ‘handle’ name, leave them there, on a page, that’s where they’ll stay - the only way they can (get to you) is if you allow them to come off that page as as the character that you have built them into as in your head
Continue to support others, there are more people on here who will support you than troll you - Be Kind to everyone and stay

100% agree I just tried to word it for those who feel instantly upset and feel they need to leave - so they could see a different way to react to these cowardly trolls. I just despise cowardly bullies in any form and would like to see them cry when they are exposed, alone and then go through anything like what the brave people on here go through!
I used to say things like you wouldn't dare say that to me face to face (which is probably true) nowadays I just ignore them which is I think much more effective
Dear afibflipper, I replied "well said" to your very wise words, but it looks like the way it's posted that it was responding to a critique. I just wanted to ensure that I agreed entirely with you.
Funnily enough I just received the following words - I would have gladly replied but they seem to have suddenly deleted the message so I couldn’t read the rest 🤷♀️
As follows
…….I hope you don't mind me asking, but as you don't actively take much part in the BHF who are these dastardly and deadly "Trolls" whom you seem to be so wound up about? There seems to be a bit of mild hysteria springing up over basically nothing...
Anyway my diplomacy prevents my revealing their “handle” as I call the chosen names
Yes, that is what I read after my post and it looked like I Responded to it rather than you. It has disappeared. But it was unwarranted, argumentative and unnecessary.Thanks for your words of wisdom. It is so sad that very wise and kind people have left this forum.
It certainly is, I hope they come back but don’t know whether chat would still work if they closed the account - I did liaise on chat before departures
Thanks for you words of support much appreciated x
I saw that before it was deleted, I wonder why the poster decided to remove it 🤔 it confused me a bit because I wasn't sure why 'not taking part in the BHF' was relevant?
Wise words. The sad thing is that the lady who has been affected by the unnecessary remarks has probably in the past, been supportive to the person who made them!!! X
In the innocence of childhood, I used to think I should wish for everyone in the world to be happy. I did later expand it to the Universe in case any unhappy aliens spoiled our peace.
As I got older, I realised that some people can only be happy if they're making others miserable. OK if they can be paired with enough people who love misery, but a problem for most of us who just want to get on with our lives.
I know the world will never be idyllic, far from it, Thise people, I don’t think are never really happy with themselves or their lives and that’s the only way they feel powerful. I just think that, there are people who have it worse than me and paople who have it better than me but if I can help someone in need who needs a little help/defending then I’ll do it (no I’m not a criminal lawyer 😂)
Its a shame when people feel the need to leave such a good and informative site which I find hard to understand why such attitudes should adopt such a line of thought. It will certainly be their loss
