Tom, having met you, I know you are a very sweet guy & a lovely client
But, when has a thread on E-I or any forum for that matter ever stayed on topic?
This is a community & regular posters will not forget previous posts whether deleted or not. Your a smart man who spends a lot of time here so you know that this is how it works.
Annabel is a very smart, inquisitive woman & tbh she's also gobby like me & I can honestly say I dont believe her posts were meant in a nasty manner & certainly not out of any sense of jealousy either as she has enough fookin clients to contend with!
Trust me when I say she is wide awake. Maybe she was playing devils advocate but thats hardly a hanging offense.
There is a massive difference to bullying/debate. She is a cheeky bitch but not a bully.
My guess is she genuinely did see the hypocrisy & I'm sorry to say but there was hypocrisy.
I appreciate that LVT says you felt guilty at losing the rag on the other thread but that was not apparent to us on this forum.
I've regretted quite a few posts on this forum over the years, so know how that feels.
What needs to be remembered is that WHATEVER you write online will always be able to be used against you so my advise is think twice before you post or accept the fallout.
