Tell us the facts and truth then please, Martyn.
The ball is in your court , sir.
His solicitor has told him to remain silent on the matter lol x

Why has this Martyn chap got involved in defending this legal threat if he's now using the defence that it was nothing to do with him? Either put up or shut up. You can't have it both ways.
I disagree. I think it's fair to make a judgement based on what we know: that something was written here about someone they didn't like so threatened legal action. It's a public messageboard, we're encouraged to comment on this. Here is Martyn telling us with nods and winks that he knows what it's all about but refusing to say. Why? It's not sub judice and presumably the comments are all still here on NSC.
Lots of people think threatening legal action was, frankly, pathetic. Perhaps the precious wallflowers are embarrassed now about all this and won't go into further detail because at least with these nods and winks they can continue the pretence that it was about something that wasn't trivial.
I don't know anything regarding the legal actions or what happened, only the threads. I have a hunch her husband took offense to people saying on a public forum, his wife should be **** *****. People who do now know her. Just a thought. I would probably take huge offense to my partner being referred to like that and I guess you would too. People need to realise their words and behaviour have consequences. Dim wits on internet forums will find this more and more in future.
People on here really think that what you type on the internet doesn't matter. Or that because it is on the internet what is written shouldn't bother people.
This forum can be a massive force for good and helping people.
It is just a shame that this is the fall out from people helping each other. I still can't see how we have got to this from that thread.

Indeed - something I have reiterated numerous times. There is not 'real life' and the internet. That distinction disappeared long ago.
It is the overwhelming positive community spirit that exists in and around this 'place' that has had me sticking with it for all these years. If an NSCer needs help, of any kind, there will be numerous others offering that help, and will follow through on those offers.
No, no it wasn't. At least from what I saw and read. It was some mickey taking at some of the language that was becoming prevalent on here, that seemed to touch a raw nerve with many others, who expressed similar feelings. NSC is warm and friendly, but if you're not able to take a bit of mickey taking then you really probably shouldn't be on here.

We have an increasing problem with cyber bullying in our society and it is something that shouldn't be taken lightly as it is causing more and more suicides. I just hope the knuckle draggers on here are never effected by such a thing and they can continue to indulge their ignorance.

I think you're missing something here, the fallout was because of the excessive bumlicking and hairy fairy xxx,lol,hun etc etc that happened afterwards.
Definitely missing something. The way I saw it was a whole bunch (40ish) of people who wanted to go out for a curry and get to know each other in 'real life' on facebook etc. There seemed to be a whole bunch of people who took offense at this and started to take the piss out of this group until they left. Personally it wouldn't be something i would want to get involved in but i cannot fathom why it is anybody else's business than those who wanted to get involved. Really what the f*** is the problem with people making friends and using airy fairy language on here? It is a bit irritating but do they really deserved to be hounded of off NSC? Yep I am definately missing why people would feel the need to behave in such a way.
The thing I really don't get is why someone would decide to bring it all up again in this thread.
There are more than a couple of muppets who need to take a good hard look at themselves
This is all a bit boring now. No one really cares. LG has gone and NSC has survived without her. Time to move on. Dont't worry yourself about it hun xxx lol!!!

Because it wasn't just one thread was it? It was taking over the entire board. And I wasn't too worried about the 'main' threads involved - it was just the fact that the forum was increasingly becoming full of threads hijacked by chat room style posting -short posts, lots of text speak, and worst of all lots of tedious little in references ("oh., but we all know I never do the washing up lol xx").
A heinous crime
Much as there was probably some 'over the top' stuff said, it's also true that some people were politely told that they were annoying NSC, then jokingly told, and got in a flouncy huff about it.
Anyone for curry then?
To be fair the really vile stuff was not on this site and it was vile. I had a character assassination on there as well from some guy who has never met me, very offensive stuff I could have a positive result for libel as I have quite a few solicitor friends and contacts. I could not be bothered with the hassle though.
