My use of the PM system was to calm not inflame.
I apologise for any upset caused either here or on PM. It was never my intention to cause hurt but I will defend myself. I was happy to walk away some time ago and now will without further comment.

So, my honesty is in question again.....I have terminated my membership here but it looks like I will still be a member until my month is up.
I invite a moderator into this situation. To review the thread, consider my posts and confirm that the PM sent to Jaymar below is the complete and was not intended to add fuel to the flames.

why do you find it hard to believe that I am an honest new member? Just because in a short time I have reached this conclusion and have voiced my opinion shouldn't be a reason for yet more suspicion. Does it make it easier for you to believe that I am a troll or previous member or is it indicative of the current climate? You were wrong about what I said about cleanliness and you are wrong now and to be honest none of us likes to be told what we are thinking. The reason for me going is that I do not like to be seen to be causing trouble, I don‘t enjoy conflict.
Stick by your mate. I might even do the same if the situation were reversed but if I was being honest I would have to acknowledge that seems to enjoy an established controlling position here. I am a decent bloke and might have got on well with some of the members if given a chance to get past the inquisition but life’s too short.
I don't consider it to be nasty and feel that you edited it to suit your purposes.
If you had read my posts you would have noticed that I did reply to you about cleanliness with yet another explanation!

Joking apart, posts that can be interpreted negatively frequently are. It is easy to find fault if you look for it.

From day one, which wasn't long ago, I have tried to be honest in my dealings with everyone here. Your doubts are unfounded and I am not too keen on being called a liar.

Must agree with Freckles.
Personally I would walk away if I did not like the look of someone, or sometimes more importantly, if there was a serious personality clash? Obviously you would try to be nice and "flower it up" a bit, (theres no need to be nasty) but I would guess that a polite "no" would be in order?
Quote by jaymar
The only reason we would not meet up with a couple again would be personality clashes. There has never been an issue for us with looks or how people dress etc. The only other factor would be that as we are extremely clean people, hygiene is a high priority to us and we expect the same back.
We take our time getting to know people anyway via cam, texts, pics etc., so the formalities there are out the way. On a meet, we've fortunately always got on with the couple but should it happen that we didn't all click, honesty is the best policy I'm afraid and certainly not a few more drinks and "get on with it".

What do you mean by 'after a drink or two did you throw caution to the wind and get on with it.'?
Quote by Freckledbird
If you look back at my posts I made a point of saying that blame should not be apportioned. I am not questioning how anyone behaved other than saying that IMHO it is better to try resuscitate in this situation than to do nothing. Nor have I ever mentioned whether they should or should not have jumped in that was their choice.
I don’t consider myself to be special but I do know what I would have done in that situation.

With respect it is this situation that I am talking about.![]()
Conditioned response is the whole idea of training be it in the armed forces, the police force or fire service. With training your actions become more automatic and therefore predictable and though circumstances may and do change you are able to predict fairly well how you will respond. This is especially true when you are dealing with similar situations on a regular basis.
I agree, it is difficult for people who have not been trained or experienced situations like this to accurately predict how they would react.

I'm trained in CPR, I'm trained to use a DeFib machine and was on call in our local area a while back. I was fairly confident in what I knew, been over it a dozen of times. I'd coped with emergencies in the family home more than once so I was more than happy with any situation that I would be thrown into.
The only time the phone went and I had to go and assist an incident, I almost shit my pants
I couldn't remember where the road was and considering Ian had live in it years before, my mind had stupidly gone blank.
Took me a minute to gather my thoughts and even then, Ian drove me.
Gladly I wasn't needed in the end but it just goes to show, we have no way of knowing how we will behave in any given situation.

It's still hypothetical - none of us knows absolutely what we'd do until we are in that situation.
