That is fair enough. I'll accept that. Please accept my apology though, I really didn't mean it to get so heated. I think I had a bad day yesterday at work and vented my frustrations. I am sorry.

sorry, right you are. Apologies there pheelyks, I didn't mean to do that. I know qualifications don't mean im a great debater, i don't claim to be. I do enjoy a debate about something intellectually stimulating though. Look, i've held my hands up, i've apologised. I started out on the wrong foot and I do feel bad for it. Continuously calling me an idiot only serves to show your age, which i imagine to be quite young. I don't wish to argue anymore; I actually feel quite bad about the slagging match between myself and WritersBeware, believe it or not. I've enjoyed the posts from pheelyks, because he or she doesn't feel the need to just write 'FU'; at least this person has been constructive in their criticism of me, which I welcome.

I apologise for my earlier posts; i said those things in the heat of the moment and because i became very defensive. I apologise to WitersBeware, Kevin and WRT. I had no right to make assumptions about any of you based on what i had read in one thread. So yes; I have made myself out to be a bit of an idiot.

I can't say any fairer than that can I? I will leave this site if that is what you all want; I only came across it by accident. But I do love forums and a good discussion about things. So please, let's stop swapping insults with each other. I've admitted i'm wrong.

Again, pheelyks; I really didn't mean to spell your name wrong, it was a genuine mistake. I was being a "Baffoon". ;p

Sorry people.

Phyleeks, you have quoted me as saying "i can write just fine". This is an error on your part; i never once wrote that in my post or asserted that i'm a good writer. I simply made more effort because you rightly pointed out that my previous post was full of inexcusable flaws. I do not claim to be a writer; but i am not an "uneducated buffoon" as WritersBeware puts it.

There is no ulterior motive for me posting on here Phyleeks. I'm an avid user of forums; I love them because you can find stimulating and intelligent debate there. My main interests are Physics (Astrophysics to be precise), Philosophy and Art (I have painted from a young age and studied Art at college before University). I'm sure you can imagine there isn't really an opportunity to talk about these kinds of things on a busy Cardiac unit? I was searching through forums on Google and i came upon this thread. I started out badly, and i shouldn't have been so strong in my opinions. What i saw was a person struggling with her dissertation, and three members all calling each other the same names, "psycho", "libellous", "liar" etc and i made the assumption, admittedly wrong, that all three were serving their own interests and working for these 'dodgy' sites. So, WritersBeware, i do apologise; I was simply going from what i had read.

hmmmmmmmm

Phyleeks, Im not sure why you're jumping on this band wagon? I was actually quite polite to you because you were right, my post was terrible, and so i made light of it. Anyway it's getting silly now. I am in no way anti-American, i was making light of the word 'bury' you chose to use. If you would like to have an intelligent debate about anything, then i would welcome it. I don't want to argue anymore. So, tail between my legs, i apologise. I think we're all being a little childish.

I felt the need to tell you my qualifications because you called me an 'uneducated buffoon', not because i need to preach about my intelligence. It would seem though that i'm a lot more educated than you. Case closed, im getting bored of you. What debate would you like to "bury" me in as you so eloquently put it? Americans. LOL

That doesn't make any sense. Is this all you do; come up with inane insults when you are intellectually challenged?

WritersBeware, I have actually taken a bit of time to look at a number of your posts in the past. What was really interesting to me was the six or seven posts simply saying "FU". You're really good with that one aren't you? Such a clever little person. I also noted seeing "LMAO" a couple of times as well. You really make me laugh. Wait, sorry, i'll use your language..."lol". What a joke you are.

Still waiting eagerly on those qualifications.

And also, STILL no qualifications. I think you may need to re-think who you call an 'uneducated buffoon' in future. It makes you look very stupid indeed. Argument over, it is you who doesn't warrant a proper response.

Pheelyks, i concede. It is a fair point and i should have been more diligent with my use of the English language. I wrote the earlier post in a hurry because i was incensed by what i had read. Firstly, and this is only my opinion, i have a problem with these websites that write dissertations for undergraduates and postgraduates that charge inordinate sums of money for a piece of plagiarised work. As educated people we should condemn these sites. I do not think these sites should be allowed to operate as they patently advocate cheating. I would assume, and i may be being presumptuous, that as an enthusiast of writing you may hold similar values? I may be wrong. Your concerns for my use of English has been duly noted, although i think taking a refresher course is a little drastic; i'll just be more mindful next time!

As for WritersBeware; well, you've got me on buffoon, so i'll hold my hands up to that retort. It actually made me laugh, albeit quite insulting and something i would expect a child to say. However, im not entirely sure what you thought my response would be to you? If you are a writing enthusiast i would expect a more intelligent and erudite response. After all, and im only taking this from the 'bashing match' between yourself, Kevin and WRT, it would seem that your reputation is questionable as you are an advocate for said websites. And as for reading through all of your posts? I think i'll take a rain check on that. You may well have no spelling or grammatical mistakes, but you still look like a childish teenager using ridiculous acronyms such as "LMAO". Hypocrite. And you've still not answered my question about what academic qualifications you hold. Why is this? Am i right in assuming you hold nothing of the sort? As i am an "uneducated buffoon" you should have no problem with this question, so please, indulge me. I would say it is you who appears the idiot, not me.

"Didn't you used to write for SNR? Bitter much?"

Im not sure i follow you here phyleeks. Please enlighten me.

WritersBeware, right back at you. Sorry i didnt realise we needed to write academic standard responses on here? Oh i see, should i maybe employ the services of yourself to help with my writing style? Moron. What are your academic qualifications? Im interested to know. Far from being an uneducated baffoon, i hold two undergraduate degrees, my first was in Business studies and Japanese, and my second a few years later was a degree in Nursing. I hold a masters degree in Nursing also and i am a well paid, well respected nurse in cardiology in London. What do you do? or is that most intelligent reply you can muster up? Ive obviously hit a nerve.

And for the record, just scanning over your posts, your writing is far from exemplary. "LMAO"? what are you 12 years old?

this will be my first and only post, because what ive just read on this thread is laughable and pathetic. I feel sorry for you maria, you are obviously having a hard time with your dissertation, but put things in perspective, how many students have struggled with their dissertations? id say pretty much all of them, its hard and challenging because its actually worth something. Why would you spend your time and money trying to get a good education and better yourself, and at the last hurdle (most important part of your degree) pay some obviously dodgy site to write your dissertation for you? It begs belief, i cant believe people actually pay hundreds of pounds for these blatant rip off sites, to be honest anyone thinking of using these sites to submit a dissertation is a complete idiot and im surprised you gained the qualifications to actually go to university in the first place. Its lazy, and its cheating. Do yourself a favour maria and knuckle down and just do the work, like everyone else has to. As for getting your money back, well id say goodbye to that money, you'll never get that back from these rip off merchants, its a shame, but maybe it will serve as a lesson well learned.

As for the petty, idiotic, childish rantings of Kevin, WritersBeware and WRT, its patently obvious youre all not to be trusted and are part of these stupid essay sites. YOU'RE ALL MORONS and should be banned from these forums, giving decent, honest people your bull**** responses serving only your own interests in the guise of "helping" someone. PATHETIC, and plain immoral. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Maria, sorry if that offended you in any way, but these people and these scam sites make me so angry. Maria, get off these forums, stop looking for a quick fix, lock yourself away and work harder than youve ever worked before, you will be so proud of yourself, you wont have cheated, you'll be a great role model for your kids, and most importantly you wont be giving all of your hard earned money to these money grabbing pieces of ****, people like that are the scourge of humankind, they dont give a crap about you, just their bank balance.

Ill probably get removed from this site by the moderators, but at least iv made my point. KEVIN< WRITERSBEWARE AND WRT......GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou
