Thanks Graham.

I will not post anything health wise on this thread or have an opinion on anything ever again. I will be sticking to weather reports!!!

I don’t want to get jumped on by anyone!!

Michelle.

Lots of health issues are mentioned on other threads so I guess we were unlucky.

I have had several health issues I posted over the last 2 years and got overwhelming support on here and Royal Caribbean forums which were a great comfort.

Just to see if this subject is acceptable - I know a couple of you have holiday lodges in North Wales.  Reading about them reminded me of my youth (you all know it was ages ago) when we lived in Cheshire, and used to travel by train to the North Wales coast, where we rented one year a converted coach, and another a converted railway carriage, right by the beach in Talacre - near Prestatyn.  I was probably about 10, and loved it.  Mum and Dad and three of us.  Very cheap and cheerful, but fun.  Quite exotic to a child who lived in a 'normal' house.  Anyone else had similar holidays?

Good morning.  

 

I am at a loss on what to say , harmless musing about everyday life is frowned upon,.

 

Look after yourself, I shall keep looking but unless things change,  will not be posting.

There is a rather large red banner at the top of the page reminding us not to discuss individual circumstance's

 

Its a shame that some people ignored this, and thought they were above the terms and conditions which is shameful.

More than likely a reflection of their brash and forceful personality.

 

 

Again, I reach out to all my friends here and ask that we love each other.

 

 

Thanks

I have just speed read through the banner and cannot find anything that precludes discussion about individulal circumstances. 

As for your assertion that certain individuals thought they owned the thread and ignored the rules, All I can say is that it is generally those people who push at the boundaries who usually contribute most to our society, rather than those who meekly stay within the rules.

Michelle, nothing you wrote caused the thread to be taken down. Don't beat yourself up.

Personally,  and being highly controversial,  I can do without the weather reports from all and sundry. 

I use my piece of seaweed hanging outside the front door to tell me what the weather is like.

Wowzz.

We Brits love talking about the weather, sport and cruising on here.

Personally I am quiet but could talk sport,holidays and cruising all night.

Take care.

Graham.

 was there not an admission ?

There is a big red banner at the top of the forum, letting us know what is allowed and not allowed  to be discussed.

Again, it was the few who assumed the thread was exclusive to their agenda, and the rules didn't apply to them.

 

I always have respected the rules.

 

Thanks

An admission from me?

I read about the no “you know what red banner” and not discussed or had an opinion.

We have discussed many personal health battles on here over the last two years and supported each other so as far as I was aware I was saying and discussing nothing wrong.

Hi Michelle,

I really don’t think you caused the thread to disappear.
I totally agree that apart from one or two posters who are just wind-up merchants then the old thread and it’s posters were a joy. To talk about and to support those whose family/friends who were unwell in my mind is not discussing the disease….. 

I naively assumed when the thread was created, the idea was to draw us all together to chat and see how everyone was doing (hence the thread name) because there was no cruising. 

Thinking about it now though, it was probably just to keep members posting regularly until cruising once again resumed.

Nothing to do with you Michelle ,some posters like to agitate things or do blatant attacks 

like when Sue had the audacity to say her arm hurt after her jab ,same as others have said.

Like others I just scroll on by  Keep safe

I observe that in reading 'USA' based topics they are a lot more argumentative and it appears they would not be tolerated over here yet they remain live over there!

 

Why was the topic removed? surely we can expect an explanation.

I didn't speed read John, I read through it carefully, 3 times, and couldn't see what we'd done wrong.

I know the rules were occasionally bent a little, as they are on the other threads, but we soon got ourselves back on track again. Such is life, we all stumble from time to time, but as adults we always bring ourselves back into line.

I have emailed CC to ask why,  no reply yet.

Morning everyone.

A cold and frosty start to the day with a cool 4oC.

Also having read through the above banner I can't see anything that has been done wrongly!

Please don't get upset Michelle, you did nothing wrong, and no-one should infer that you did.  We are all until going to be second guessing ourselves until someone steps up to the plate and simply explains what went wrong.

I would be more inclined to think that it was too long - something to do with their servers?  Because if someone had said something that was considered against the rules, they wouild juist have removed that post, like they always do.

Just back from the market.

Going to sit down and relax.

 

Nice to see some old friends back here again.

 

Your Friend all the time,

I find your posts fascinating, Lynn.  And intriguing.  Enigmatic, even.  I just hope they aren’t a contributory factor in the thread closure, but I’m sure that wouldn’t be the case, given that you’ve been so careful to adhere to the rules of the game………

Have I lost my marbles, or is this thread getting just a bit surreal?

I get quite a few emails from cc, like most folk on here. I guess they now want me to ignore them.

I must admit I turned off their emails as was getting too many. 

[lincslady]

I believe that moderators can remove posters from these boards if they are deemed to be posting unsuitable posts?

 

Just a suggestion.

I thought we we would have had an explanation by now too dave. Five pages in and the powers that be are conspicuous by their absence.

I wonder if it was maybe deleted in error and they are now trying unsuccessfully to retrieve it……
Surely Sharon would have told us if it was being stopped…..

Good Morning Pam. If you read the posts from earlier this morning, there appears to be an admission of a violation the terms and conditions from a member

There was no 'violation of terms and conditions' from anyone.

You merely interpreted the post entirely differently than everyone else and the way it was meant by the poster.
