help please carbs asap!!

[Andy HB]

If you're still reading then hello Bex, I would think that you would always be welcome here?

I think you are right that there is a clique or click here, there generally always is to a greater or lesser extent and some times it can be fine sometimes it can make people feel more outsiders than they actually are?

I think when you need a quick answer it generally doesn't happen, and I would suggest you would post it in the main message board as some don't read outside of the main board! I sometimes wonder when I get few responses, and even when I have left a reply maybe a bit late on in a discussion and then there are no more replies, have I killed the convo!? Probably just done it there!

Hope you are okay.

Take care

Rossi 🙂

Hi Rossi, she did post it in the General Messageboard. I moved it to the carbs section after her second post. Its redirect (which remained on the General Messageboard) has since expired.

i for one have always enjoyed this forum as it gave me support and still gives me support in my hour of needs... and I know i will i post and get a few die hards responses and i appreciate all of them xxxxxx ...i would suggest folks ....just come to the island for a chat or a rant ...in any society chiques /clicks/chicks groups will form but remember we all have common ground in a form of diabetes or carer that has brought us together to SUPPORT each other through thick and thin ...

I personally think that this has been blown out of proportion, just because nobody answered within a certain time limit? If I was that desperate to find out the carb value of something I would have looked it up on the computer first before coming to a forum to ask what it was. Also not everyone eats the so simple, leaving the forum because people don't answer a post is ridiculous, and having a go at people because they disagree with you is childish, everyone is entitled to an opinion whether it is right or wrong..

There isn't a clique on here, yes some people post more on other peoples threads, maybe they find them more interesting, I don't know.. if there was a clique it would be noticed by anyone not in it and it could get quite nasty, I have seen it happen on other boards I am a member of.. sometimes just looking at thread titles doesn't necessarily make me want to go in and read it. Sometimes I read the thread but it doesn't grab my interest to want to reply to it, that doesn't mean that I am ignoring the person who wrote the thread. I have only started 14 threads on here and half of them have under 10 replies, why get upset about it, it's not worth it..

I think the problem lay deeper than the reaction to this particular thread squidge, and that is what was upsetting bex.

squidge , i have come back merley to defend myself here as i was made aware of this comment!, you are utterly rude! , i am not childish and i was hurt , i am 29 years old and not a child nor was i acting childish , if you read correctly i have not commented or even been on here all day , i have taken no part in the slagging off that has been going on and find it quite sad that my comment has been blown out of all proportions i did mention i wasnt trying to be agressive nor to upset other people merley that i was hurt that all my posts ( all of them ) seem to be ignored! , i praise nothener for his valiant effort in trying to find a solution to my problem and i realise is is not an easy subject to talk about. i am astounded at the childish comments and obvious dissregard for other peoples feelings..and while i understand the true emotion of a comment can be missenterpreted , i think/belive /hoped i had made my feelings clear
i stand by my own mantra.....if you voice your opinion you get shot down tiz the way of the humans!
and for the record this was posted originaly on the genrel bord and i did not expect an answer straight away but felt the all my posts in recent months had been ignored and that was the last straw on the camels back so to speak. i hope this makes things more clear , if not i appologise , i will not be returning having just browsed quickly through the pages , my concerns were right i am not liked ( appart from a few very lovley people )
