OK I have just finished work and need to read properly but theree is something I really needto get off my chest. This really belongs on the discussion thread but it is clear that not everyone checks this. If they did I wouldn't need to post it. So fully aware of possible consequences for me should suspicions about her be founded, here goes.

Jenny Hallu posted on the 15th in the WWJ thread that she had to return home for a funeral.

I have limited internet acess and so I am predisposed to others in the same predicament. Nevertheless if I join a game I do try to give it as much time as I can. I am getting slightly exasperated by people who join when they know they will have other commitments but to suggest that someone would fake or exploit a bereavement as a strategy is frankly obscene.

This is a game and we "murder in jest" but we all have real lives. Do not forget that behind the game and the silly screen names there are real people and they are going through real sorrow.

I know many of you are a lot younger than I am and I hope sincerely that you have suffered fewer significant bereavements, therefore I am sure people have spoken thoughtlessly rather than with deliberate cruelty. Nevertheless there are somethings that are not fit for jokes.

Right I have said my piece. I will try not to let the cheap shots at an easy target affect the way I play the rest of the game.
