This is a local forum, for local people…
MissGulliver; not wishing to be unkind, and I’m sure you may be a lovely person in real life, but I find it a bit odd, that you’ve gone to the trouble of logging onto a forum like this, to argue with this lot. Trust me, they’re not worth the hassle. They’re always wrong, and their opinions are irrelevant.
Don’t stress about it. Ignore them.
And whatever your sister’s going through, the truth is, most of this lot wouldn’t want to see her or anyone suffer, really. Just a lot of big egos and hot air.
