sorry.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

@Don Pearson Also, the anglicised Scots used in Trainspotting was hard going at times but the book better because of it, so I agree it can sometimes add rather than subtract. I'm not saying I'm going to ban Rainbow1 because of this. I'll have a think about it and also leave it up to users to discuss.

When someone posts something personal directly to or about another user and the other user replys, and there is a continuation of personal posts between the 2 users, then this is classed as a chat dialog. Dallas's thread may not have breached this term, but I put it there to remind you and others. I hope this clarifies it for you Rainbow1. The only thing I would add to this is that I think ...

Admittedly Rainbow1, you did not start the thread. However, I think users would prefer that you wrote in the version of English we all learnt at school, rather than the phonetic version you have invented or adopted, which is just hard to read.

Flaming other members with the apparent intent of inciting or perpetuating a conflict or argument. Bombing the forum or individual threads with repetitive, pointless posts. Posting personal e-mail or chat dialogues.

Rainbow1 & Dallas, You must know that your last long discussion thread is in breach of the terms of this forum. Therefore, please be warned that if either of you continue to breach the rules, I will have no choice but to terminate your account. Regards, Webmaster

I wasn't saying I disagree with Lynne - quite the opposite. I am unsure about slang. Everyone uses slang now and then. Rainbow1's use is excessive and is closer to shorthand notation. I agree it does not read easy.

I think if Rainbow1 genuinely suffers from dyslexia then perhaps we could help her in some way like her hubby is doing (as she claims in her posts)?

Come on guys, lets not let this forum degenerate into an abusive slanging match like has happened in the past. We all know what eventually happens is no-one ends up posting at all. Users can post on what ever subject they feel is relevant here and we must respect others views even when we do not agree with them. So lets just agree to differ when this happens and move on. Many thanks.

I fixed it for you. It had some html formatting div tags that was causing it to display oddly.
