chatroom bullying

We had too many complaints about these 2 users! We will review the bans on the 28th Feb 2011

hi able team i would like to say that the ban you put on geoff and loz was a bit hard on them .
there are some people on here that have been rude to me but i just ignore them and i no of others on here that have had people be bad to them to .
there are always two sides to an argument but they have been made to pay for others having a go that is not fair i no you should not bite back but other people should not start in first place.

Here,Here Paul!! This all started when Some people where nasty to Lorraine, you should remember I sent you an email onit! And her hubby fought her corner and after alot of tit for tat you ban them! And can you tell me why are you waiting till 28th Febuary to look at it? Oh yeah and by the way 2 of the main trouble makers have left AbleHere! wonder why? :whistle:

Maybe people have left because they got upset ... Unless you were in the chatroom when anything happened its probably not a good idea to comment on things that you have only heard through gossiping.. its probably how all this started in the first place.

I thought you had decided to leave?
As you know I try and mediate between people and I am standing up for my friends who where being bullied by a few people on here.

Im not pointing any fingers in any directions and I use the chatroom too infrequently to pass comment....But I know the level of input Karl has put into this site to give us a location to speak with like-minded ...Im not talking weeks or months ..but Ive seen it over years...If so-called responsible members are unable to act like adults and treat each other with RESPECT and CONSIDERATION ....I for one....being in Karls position...WOULD SHUT IT DOWN. I Suggest the culprits look up the meaning of the word EMPATHY:evil: :evil:
Its not about taking sides...Look at Yourselves ...Those who cause others harm should be ASHAMED...Your battle should be with your daily Challenge

Oh yes..One other thing before anyone takes-sides.....and how PATHETIC does that sound..Lets take sides and have A Go at making someones life hurtful....There is a member of over 4 years who has been HOUNDED from this site by so-called Good Members ..she is very unwell with her condition and frightened to return......These so-called HERO members decided they didnt like her and extended her nickname by adding ROO .....Beginning to sound familiar people..Of course it is because you all took sides and scared her off......YOU HEROS SHOULD HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME AND LEAVE THIS SITE WITHOUT A BACKWARD GLANCE....YOU ARE NOT WANTED ON HERE BY THE REAL MEMBERS SO GO AWAY AND CRAWL DOWN YOUR HOLES .....:evil: :evil: YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Thank you Tony for telling it as it is!! We have a hard time getting through day to day without stupid spats and name calling! For goodness sake guys this site is supose to be here to make our lives alittle easier! open a window into the word so we can speak to other people with disabilities and maybe make friends! NOT go into chat rooms and make each others lives miserable!
If we really and I mean really want to keep these chatrooms open we need to get these people who are involved in the 'bullying' incident together to sort out there differences and oppolgies. So we can bring a close to this matter and go on with our tuff lives! For goodness sake what are we children in a playground or adults with disabilities I do wonder somedays! And to the people who say I am sticking my nose into something I wasn't involved in. I am trying to mediate with you all who caused this major uproar to bring a close to the matter so we can go on enjoyin this excellent site or do you just want to carry it on a ruin the site for everyone?

The site reflects society...we get nasty so-and-so s on here just like in anyones own neighbourhood.....Although why these people try to join sites like this and be abusive to others defies logic to me... Karl and Ablehere have to sometimes make judgement calls to stop the good members from leaving .... Disruptive and offensive and abusive people need to be banned and I, for one, will continue to be supportive and give my opinion when asked...or when I witness such events....We shouldnt need Room Monitors,we should all be adult enough to police the site ourselves ....What has gone on this week is Pathetic and in my opinion been dealt with swiftly and effectively....I know exactly what IVE seen and heard and it has discusted me that members can act like scum and thugs...Be assured...people who abuse others wont be here very long

After what you have told me and explained to me Tony, I agree that the rot that was eatting away at this great site has been cut away.I hope all this can be put behind us now. (These seem to be those famous last few words! everytime I say them something happens!!lol) I really hope everyone can enjoy the chat room and get on well and that if anyone thinks they can say just one bad thing to another member the AbleHere team will imediately ban them! The chatroom is put there for the enjoyment of AbleHere members so go ahead and enjoy it!!
