Please note - . If someone makes a thread on another member, no 'bad' light or disapproval of that member should be brought up in the threads of any members, it should be an all positive thread.
Please also note: If someone sends you a "Virtual hug" via making a thread on here, and it makes you feel uneasy, you can PM an admin or moderator to have them remove it. A link to do so here:
