A few home truths. I joined the Anything group some months ago as an innocent newcomer. Within a very short time accusations started flying around about me accusing me of being someone else! An accusation that was completely false. The first instigator of this ridiculous claim was @CharlotteB who was then followed by @RobRoy and then @Danni All sad individuals. I was then banned from ‘Anything’ by the moderator @CliveF who obviously is in cahoots with the aforementioned Co conspirators. @Clive banned me but allows hatred at every level being spouted everywhere across his group. At one stage, I tried to join the group Share Tips To Make Life Easier. On clicking on ‘Join’ I found that I had been banned from the group without even being able to post anything. @CharlotteB again and her co moderator @ShirleyM Conpiracy theories are rife on Scooploop.
Then there’s @PeterAndrews1 & @UncleAlbert who also cast aspersions on my integrity. Two people who do nothing but post far right propaganda and hatred in the group. So, I as an innocent, get banned but @CliveF allows racism, hatred and downright lies in his group. I haven’t a clue where Scooploop moderators are. Conclusion? Give the racist ultra right wing group Anything a very wide berth -
