Wife in white

[Fatal Paper Cut]

Silence the woman? Oh please. You're hardly a victim Suzi, much as you like to make out people gang up on you. Don't be so pathetic.

Nothing to do with silencing the woman, whatsoever.
I wouldn't dare trying to silence my one, for instance.

However, if something arty-farty is giving pleasure to others, to describe the concept as being stupid is somewhat over-critical in my opinion. For the record, I don't think much of this White Wife project either but others are enjoying it so good luck to them. It isn't doing me any harm.

I picked her up yesterday and have to say she was a nice,pleasant, intelligent woman. I even told her that there was a thread about her on here , and she said she would check it out and she surely did last night . she was saying to me how friendly she has found the residents of shetland to be , though what she's thinking now having read this i dont know. this may be a waste of money in some peoples opinions, but lets face it, the government and the councils waste money on a lot of things . so if the white wife thing is a waste of money, then i for one am happy to see money being wasted on something as quirky and fun as this. At the end of the day though... is it really worth all the insults and mud slinging? if shes read some of these latest posts, then she's probably trying to hitch a lift off a passing dolphin back to the mainland as we speak!!

its diffrent. it shows how trusting shetlanders are to still pick up strangers. does the lady have a back up team as alone woman getting lifts is not always wise.

Saw her going up the Scord yesterday, must have been the camper waiting in the view point at the top. Thought it was odd her walking up there with the traffic to her back and not hitching

Had a lovely smile on her face and a wave.

^ Why though? That would be censorship.

Wouldn't just not reading the posts of anyone the complainer(s) suspect may have a negative opinion of something, be a more sensible approach?

[JohanofNess]

Personally speaking I don't think it's censorship asking folk to think before they speak.

^ I couldn't agree more, however when someone is "told" they should keep quiet as their opinion is probably a negative one, which is what Fatal Paper Cut said on the previous page, that's telling folk to can it unless they're going to praise it. Which is censorship rather than accusing folk of lack of thought in my book.

How I read Fatal Paper Cut's comments were more an expression of frustration and not an explicit shut up.

I agree not every thread on Shetlink should be happy clappy everything is great and don't say otherwise love fest. However, there are too many times a thread gets dragged off on a tangent because of negative comments that sometimes don't have to be made.

i just watched the video, its quite good!
it's a shame we have a good little theatre here and nothing being programmed into it.
Apart from the locals, i used to love the touring drama programe from the 90/00's.
