All I can say is this,
...I spoke my peace. If anyone wants to fling mud, as long as I don't get hit, it's fine.
Honestly, 
while I may be all EEE! over Steve, I'm as harmless as it's gonna get.
[That and I think Gillian is very blessed to have him. 
End of on that note.]
...Some people, on the other hand... 
What about Ian's angels? I mean I know he's gone and all...but um, he's still here in ways you know.

For what it's worth Bonz, I agree...
...but for the sake of playing devil's advocate I don't think it's missy's god given right to be completely free of honest responses on a public message board. If you post incessantly about being Hooky's number one fan you're gonna get the piss taken a bit and to be fair she has been rather incessant about it.
To be honest, that's all I see here - a bit of piss taking. It's hardly hardcore bullying
Having said all that I don't plan to reply to her stuff anymore. It's obvious she probably is a bit um.. fragile and you're right, there's nowt to be gained by pointing that out to her which is mostly what my comment was about.
A bit of self-awareness goes a long way as we've all probably found at one stage or another.
Fair point, but there's giving an honest response to a comment, and responding to a comment in a spiteful and malicious manner to a clear target. If I and others can see it, Imagine how Missy feels reading it?
This situation is different from other piss taking that occurs in this forum and needs to be dealt with in a more sensitive manner.
I'm not saying that people shouldn't be annoyed and must agree with everything Missy says, but some posts are clearly too strong and send out the wrong message - if people really feel that strongly about it then they should speak to a Mod or just ignore it!
Self - awareness is perhaps clearly lost in this instance, however, that doesn't mean that others should not have theirs about them!

Perfectly put Bonz
Up to now I've just ignored all this, and now i'll go back to ignoring it all
