Just to let you know that I did not go to the press, nor was the guy married, and it’s much easier to find 65 people that dont know you to say bad things about you than it is to find 50 people to say nice things about you that dont know you. My brother’s friend put the pastry group on to make me feel better since after reading about my humiliation in the paper I was more than devastated so thanks for adding to it. It wasnt the group title that hurt it was the comments on there – not the ones about me but the ones about my family and my son, I hope you never have to read or hear about people saying terrible things about a member of your family especially one of your children I can assure you it is not nice

I saw that group, i don’t know Gemma Trigg, neither do most of the people in that group. A group is so meaningless anyway, I’m a member of the group mr whitcutt is a legend but that doesn’t actually mean I think that statement is true silly fuckwits

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Thankfully, I have a close family who have given me a lot of support and I have spoken to my managers at work to explain the situation and they are all behind me.Ã¢â‚¬ï¿½

This bit really gets to me. It troubled her THAT much, yet she’s prepared to tell the whole country (and, potentially, WORLD) about it and its contents.

A very well-written blog, sir, and if you haven’t already, you need to write a publishable letter to The Echo pointing out how you used their own forums for such abuse, and so they subsequently should just shut down their forums (because the potential for critical comments is clearly more dangerous than anything positive that could arise from a forum :p )

Just don’t send it to the loveable Ben Glaze.
