's Blogs

Thomas, your decicion, so up to you and maybe good time for you to have a break from here. See you soon, BSB

Wow this has totally got out of hand with threats of expulsion from management all over a disagreement and or an opinion on a blog that after several PM conversations I have had with Thomas and what he has shared and written here I understand has nothing to do with the blog and everything to do with his own reasons which are private to him and to anyone that he chooses to share them with. I am not going to rehash this situation of who is real and who isnt as it relates to this situation I have shared my opinions outside of this blog. Blogs are for discussion, thoughts and opinions and members helping each other as I have shared before my Grans saying of opinions are like assholes some are for admiration and some should be kept under wraps. If we all agreed on everything that was written here what would be the point of having a blog we could all just write a long string of "agreed" after everyone of them and be bored to death. While none of us can be 100% sure of who we are talking to its up to the individual to decide who and what they believe and the opinion we express on here is just that "an opinion" We have all seen people come and go we have seen the fakes and strings of sockpuppets the "surfboi" aka "jay clark" "straightgyboy Tom" that all start with basically the same story over and over again not giving us enough credit that we have half a brain or at least a memory and as said before on the same issues who cares if thats what they enjoy doing just dont hurt anyone either, emotionally or financially and expect to be called out by peoples opinions. Every so often a blog flares up and gets lots of attension and people get heated and as long as we dont make it or take it personally it can be interesting, a learning experience and often fun. So I hope no one leaves over this and no one gets threatened with expulsion this is a great site with great people that all have thoughts and opinions. So Nick if i still have my membership (tongue in cheek) i will continue to interact and share my opinions without malice as I see this one has been. Love to all... Stees xx

i dont go on blogs, but i have a pm from someone this evening so i came on to say that i will miss you, your posts on my wall and more than ever i will miss our exotic outings...so take time out but make sure you come back

That cool buddy. Can't wait for your return. Big hugs to you.

If there is one thing GBT has taught me in my time here its that we DO need to have that time away sometimes just to unwind and realise that there is a world going on around us.
Thomas, although I dont know you all that well, you have taught me much just from me reading your blogs and postings - I trust you'll use your time away to refresh and return in your time. I also await your return

I have not known you for long but know you are loved here on GBT. You are truly caring and will be missed. Will be eagerly awaiting your return.

Let me clarify where I am. I have found myself spending a fair amount of time here, posting and uploading. I am taking some time to gain some perspective about how GBT fits into my life. No one has done anything to cause this. I just wanted to take a few days to determine how to balance this with all aspects of my life. Thanks for you kind words.

I know about taking some time out to concentrate on other things, i know it won't mean that you are not still interested and willing to be there whenevr you can, thanks for all the things you have done for me and others I appreciate u so much XXXX RusT

Thomas, i hope that your absence is your getting over jet-lap, what with your regular cross-Atlantic journeys to see Fe. And, hope you're back on here again soon. ---R.D.

I only spoke to you one time but you seemed so kind and caring. I wish I had been able to know you. After reading the mean things said to you about your brother I dont blame you for leaving, makes me think I should not share things about myself here either

All your friends will miss but I'll stay in touch. Look back over the recent past events and know OUR pain - who could you help by being gone.Keep your head up andpress forward. I know this reflection will be reflectiveof your impression you havemadeon me formany months. Love you my DEAR Thomas.

Sorry to hear that,I have never had the chance to chat with you but i have read alot of your great post to other members that i will miss.

very many will miss your kindness!
