Have I missed something? I've only been in this 3-week room for a few minutes, and it sounds like there's something going on....can anyone let me in on the secret?
I have been quit for 2 Weeks and 3 minutes (14 days). I have saved £72.66 by not smoking 280 cigarettes. I have saved 23 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 04/01/2008 11:45

jojo, i agree with you, after a thread with gary this week i had a little look through at the Boudee and Buffy catty comment show, not really what im looking for, im off to, will look for somewhere else. bye all and good luck
guys this is getting silly - this site and ALL its posters are damn fine and helpful people and frankly we need each other's support and advice.
Gary, Kevin and Jojo - please all stay guys - i need you!

dont need that type of help thanks, bullying thats what it amounts to if they dont agree with you, look throught the posts they speak for themselves.
I hope you all change your minds and stay, I haven't seen any of the comments you're talking about but anyway it doesn't matter, it's only on a computer screen it can't come out and bite you! Take what you need and leave the rest, but don't leave us we're in this together

i really havent seen anything which amounts to bullying but if you feel that then i guess it happened. But still - you can choose to ignore comments or individuals you dont want to interact with and just talk to the rest of us.
Also a good argument now and then is good for us - especially now we have all given up smoking - its like a storm - its pretty unpleasant while its going on but after the air is clear and the birds start singing and the world is born anew (sorry got a bit wistful and poetic there! lol!)
I have never said anything to offend anyone, I am here to support and help people nothing more nothing less.
I have as much right to speak as anyone else.
Keving, it wasn't me calling Gary 'gay string' guess if someone had started name calling me I would be upset too.
If anyone has a direct issue with anything that I have said then I am happy to reiterate.
I am here for the same reasons as everyone else and don't understand this sudden conspiracy.
I am determined not to bite or get upset, though I can't promise myself that right now!
OK, I'm up to speed now....all this fuss over a throwaway remark made on the "Troubled" thread - very sad IMHO. And it took me a while to find a site that wasn't full of Americans
you lot are like a pack of dogs over a bone with me and Buff being the bone
I refuse to rise to your vileness
I hope that's not directed at me :eek::eek:

you are no where up to speed, coolkingtrev and whats up with americans?
Well, maybe I'm not up to speed, maybe there's somethng else I'm missing. Why doesn't someone fill me in?
Americans, well the main issue with them is that they always post at ridiculous times of the day when all normal people are asleep or at work ;).
That, and the war in Iraq of course.
Take a chill pill.
but you have just attacked him!!!
ahhhhh i get it, let you lot be nasty when ever you feel like it and say nothing
well that won't happen
lets be nice!!!!
i didnt attack him, i told him he was not up to speed and asked a question whats up with Americans, as im sure any American members may feel insulted
When you're 'up to speed' please fill me in too
This is all far too cryptic for me, i do wysiwyg.
what a load of bollocks this is! we're here to help each other not have a massive ego fight! get a grip people :confused:

maybe thats because its not a rediculous time to them becase they are in a different time zone.:rolleyes:
Oh, never thought of that:rolleyes:
Ok i really like this forum and EVERYONE i have spoken to on it - this whole thing has got out of hand and i dont want anyone to leave so this is my take on the situation for what its worth.
1. This is not the buffy and boudee show - they are on here alot (as am i) and are often the first people to welcome a new user or offer support to someone who is struggling and they are usually wise in the advice they offer.
2. The comment Gary made was actually quite funny - a new user came on and said he had smoked 3 packs for years and Gary said 3 packs in years isnt too bad - pretty funny really. Boudee then pointed out that actually making a joke might not be the best thing for a new user as a first experience on here when support and warmth might be a better introduction to the site. Also a fair comment.
3. When all is said and done what we are talking about on here is life and death stuff. Most smokers die before they should do. There is nothing more important than giving up that ****ing awful and evil addiction. We have to help each other as only we know what its really like - people who have never smoked dont have a clue. This is serious stuff and we need to take it seriously.
4. I made a comment a few days ago about how i dont like NRT - Boudee picked me up on that cos i shouldnt diss someone elses quit method - i was a bit pissed off with that and called her a donut but actually you know what - she was right. Whatever method one chooses is the right method for them and i was wrong to even plant a seed that NRT might be no good - as i say this is too serious to **** about with.
5. Finally we have all just given up smoking for ****s sake - we are bound to be a bit tetchy with each other.
But no one rules the site. No one is being a bully. Its alright to argue and disagree and its alright to get pissed off - but walking away serves no purpose and can only leave you more isolated and the rest of us who remain with less support. So i say if you thinking of leaving - stay and work it through because leaving is a lose / lose outcome for everyone.
oh dear what did I miss here. doesnt look good.
Nail on the head Paul x x
BLIMEY - This forum has gone a bit down hill, its a shame though as it is such a helpful tool for all of us trying to accomplish such a hard task.
Gay String was being funny - I laughed at his comment - this is why I enjoy the site. I don't want to be depressed reading sad stories ALL the time, its nice to see people supporting each and taking the p*ss in a non threatening kind of way. I'm sure if the person who wrote the intial 3 packs a year comment was offended, they would have said. Instead they have propbably avoided the site for rear of causing such a problem.
I like to log in and see how people are doing and what high's low's they have been through and hearing there funny stories.
Lets make one thing clear, this is a forum for everyone to share their views or experience and sometimes make funny comments etc.
Maybe everyone should take a chill pill, relax thier blood vessels and stop all this anger and instead rejoice that we have been 18 days without a cigarette - which is pretty f*cking good if I say so myself.
Peace people of the nosmoking forum!!
Peace sutty x x x x

A joke to lighten the mood for you all....
A man took his Rottweiler to the vet and explained: "My dog's cross-eyed. Is there anything you can do for it?"
"Well, OK," said the vet, "let's have a look at him." So he picks the dog up by the ears and has a good look at its eyes.
"Well," says the vet, "I'm going to have to put him down."
"Just because he's cross-eyed?" replies the man.
"No," said the vet. "Because he's f*cking heavy."
hehehehehehehe love it!
Sutty that joke was great.
Paul you said it all mate. lets get back to normal we are acting like a lot of kids. Be happy.xxxx
