Oh, I don't know. It's rather fun to look back and remember the good times and how we crept through a crack in cyberspace back to one thread on the old WWRY board where we were safe from attack. Though, you're right and it's not fun remembering the attacks and hypocrisy that abounded every time we said anything about Tony. Then again, it IS great to celebrate how we've gone on to bigger and better things since:-) Welcome back, Laura, we've missed you. Kathy Some of those threads were so vile and hateful, it kind of took the edge of that ONE thread we were eventually consigned to, like outcasts for God's sake!...until of course Raa and Claire started up the original forum and we found a haven. Hoorah for Raa and Claire!!  Exactly after I found that forum I never went back onto the WWRY forums, did seem to be a lot of arguing and hate on there |

To be honest I haven't been on the WWRY boards since...Early December '03...apart from the odd dip in and out through links on other sites to info/pics etc now and then...and even then I got the hell out as soon as poss...I'm sure it has changed but just looking at that layout brings back too many bad feelings/memories.

Hoorah for Raa and Claire!! Too true. Unnecessarily vile and I think purely done to provoke and upset. Tells me more about the people posting and their personalities, than it does about us. In fact, I've only ever felt really safe on Raa and Claire's board (three cheers for them) and now this one. Everyone here is so supportive and friendly and, most importantly, it's been a safe place for us to flourish and concentrate on supporting Tony. This is much better than expending our energies in trying to stay above their vile level. It's been a big help to my blood pressure as well;-) Group hug to all of us who make this place wonderful.

I haven't been there much since Tony left either, Laura. It was a very difficult place to be a Tony fan and I only ever posted there once or twice. There's no reason to take me back there now. I don't care if the mods now ensure it's safe. They didn't then and I once wrote a private note to one of them pointing out their job was to protect people posting on the board and that joining in the witch hunt was not acceptable. Funnily enough they didn't like that much but they were removed as a moderator within a short time afterwards. Kathy |

Kathy Agreed on all points Kathy! I could never understand why everyone couldn't just get along (as they did way back in the early days) instead of having digs at each other all the time. It does seem, from what I've heard, that things have calmed down now - but for me the damage has already been done. Anyway, I'm just glad we have this lovely forum to express ourselves freely (within reason) and generally without fear of being shot down in flames every 5 minutes. Group hug indeed!  P.S. Have just returned home from London and I must say that Leicester Square tube station is looking particularly lovely at the moment, which is more than I can say for The Dom - looks like they're about to demolish it! |

I know, looks like its about to fall down.. and I dont see how they can still be putting on shows as I swear its missing half the side of theatre as you can look right into the building from where the old buidling should be.. if that makes any sensE?! |

Tony's @rse has now started appearing all over my hometown...which is a bit disconcerting. There was one on the way to the gym yesterday and today I spotted a new one on a bus stop on my way to work. As I was lost in 'A Better Way' world I thought I was seeing things!
