What can I say to this, other than you already know and would like to keep that just between you & I,........just to say I love you ever so much Janice

Mother Nature, it is a regretful and sad situation, however I am sure it was a misunderstanding and careless thing, for I truly can't imagine anyone ever setting out to hurt JJ, she is a true gem. 

ohhh im am so sad to hear about this....i didnt think that minti could be a bad place to be......dont they have anything better to do ???? i guess not huh.......shame on these ppl

i hope janice is ok.......please send her my love....

This is well said Marge you and janice are well respected memberes here and very valuable and i hate to see this has happened.

Hi Marge I have been so worried about this  and just wanted to say to you how much Janice and you are valued on this site.Inever wanted to join minti my reason was that I wouldn't like to see anyone say anything nasty about my daughter. Helen persuaded me by saying "we don't do that on minti"  I must say I have found many friends on here and I am only in a few groups but am more than a lttle wary of the groups  because of the way Janice have been treated . However just look at the support for her it's amazing and proof what a wonderful friend she is

God Bless

Love Pauline

It is pretty easy to get caught up in the rot that happens here from time to time and i would echo winnie's words, but i can't believe that anyones' intent would be to hurt Janice....it doesn't make any sense. Very sad right now...xx

I cant believe anyone would hurt Janice. People need to remember they are adults & this is not high school so bloody grow up! I would hate to see what some peoples kids are like if there mothers act like children.

I hope Janice gets the public apology that she deserves, all she is ever does is help people & hasnt a bad word to say about anyone.

We are all lucky to have Janice here & people should remember that.

This person/persons should be ashamed of themselves and hope that when they decide to apoligise its because they mean it , not because of we want them too..

I cried for my Mum(Janice) last night as i could just imagine how much she is hurting and it sickens me....

Hope this is a reminder to some that we not all in primary school. and Bullying and Flaming Hurts all .... and  ''GROW UP''...

I love Janice dearly and when I read her blog last night my heart broke. I too have had the pleasure of meeting her and she is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve and is always open and honest. But....I think what whomever this person is, they needs to realise that they won't get away with treating such a beautiful person in such a horrible way. I'm so angry right now........if you have a problem with someone, you do the right thing and talk to them about it, you don't do the gutless thing and try to rally your so called friends and bully someone.

Gossip hurts whether it's true or not and most of us should know that already.....the person who has done this has now made an enemy with me!!!!!

Well written Marg. It is so true what you have said. And yes and apology would be good. I can't believe anyone would talk about Janice as she is such a kind and caring person.I don't know what else to say as I can't believe that someone could be so nasty

Hugs to you both

For what has been said about our beuatiful janice I do not care to know, all in all, who ever has been saying these things has just shown their own insecurities for why else would they need to gossip and spread such awful stuff about a very dear and loved minti member. Both janice and yourself have my utmost respect, support, and loving thoughts, and anything positive, as that is what you have both given me. I agree that an apoligie should be made, not sure if it need be public because I know I would probably judge the person/peoples responsible and avoid anything they have to offer to minti and that would be stooping to their level. That is not something I wish to do!

All my love to both yourself and Janice.

I was so shocked to read both yours and Janice's blogs this morning!!! What the.... is going on??? I will admit that I am more than angry that this has happened! There are obviously some people that really need to take a long hard look at themselves, their values, the way they behave etc. Janice has never done anything on this website but support, support, support!!! Karma works in wonderful ways and whoever has started this will most definitely receive what they have put out there. There better be an apology coming Janice's way. Both you and Janice have so many people here that love and respect you....... It's amazing how one bad can hurt two wonderful people.

love to the both of you,

this saddens me that people feel the need to "gossip"

janice is so warm and beautiful.

unfortunately ignoring doesnt always help because its the integrity of the person that gossip tries to undo. its a nasty hurtful habit. 

i dont know what has been said nor do i need to read it but nobody can say to me anything different that i know that janice is. janice is warm and beautiful and so selfless janice has put our needs first and despite times that janice hasnt been well still answers our blogs. 

janice has helped me with advice and im so saddened to see her upset 

 and marg as you already know you are  a wonderful person  

lots of hugs and kisses to you both

Very well said, this should be a wake up call to everyone, we can get wrapped up in gossip and for me this is as like Winnie a big wake up....  When it comes to hurting someone especially someone like Janice then the gossip has gone to far and for me I do not want to be a part of that...  I have had a huge year as you know and I have learned so much about myself but I would also like to think my online behaviour changes as my offline has.....  I do hope this gets sorted out and whatever has been said is finished with an appology....  Love you Janice xxxx

Well said Marg! We reap what we sow, and gossip is such a destructive force. Our kids are watching how we resolve disagreements in the offline world and if they dont see us modelling the honourable way you have described we will have failed to teach them an important skill. And our kids see almost everything we do! So while we can hide some of our actions on Minti, our kids will see our attitudes spilling out anyway.

I hope Janice gets her apology, and soon.

Well said Marg, Intent is a choice, we are responsible for our own actions and our own deeds, no-one forces us to be in private groups or to add fuel to others flames. I have had a wake up call with this sad and despicable situation. An apology is definitely the first step in trying to rectify Janice's broken heart. 

On thinking this over today, I came to t
