Good evening. There's some forum sparring going down in my neck of the woods. Local folk await with baited breath to see who will be The Ultimate Victor of the Forum Wars. It is an entertaing old read for those interested in forum dynamics.


https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19235


https://se26.life/t/account-arbitrarily-deleted-from-sydenham-town-forum/869


It piqued my interest when I saw that the Sydeman.org bunch piped up that the colourful Mr Beach has previous for being booted off forums which led me to find mention of a historic incident involving the East Dulwich Forum


https://se23.life/t/east-dulwich-forum-vs-se23-life/8625/4


Having performed a search on this forum I have failed to unearth any further information. Would there buy anyone who would care to indulge me?

You say that but I fear there may be far more to it than pure playground antics. My take on the matter is that the .Life owner, namely the infamous Mr Beach is seeking to topple the older (more established yet also more antiquated) Sydenham forum and further establishing the .Life brand. I have not to date checked as to whether SE22.Life has been registered, is it a thing?

SE22.life redirects to Chris Beach's local forum for Forest Hill.

I?m not sure I see the relevance of this thread to local EDF issues. It seems to exist just to stir things up and slag off the ?infamous Mr Beach?.


I moderate on se23.life after being asked to as a level-headed type soul. I?ve met Chris twice - while cleaning the wall for the Forest Hill mural and at a forum drink. At that point, he did live locally. There are a group of mods all who lived locally and some of which still do. We challenge each other and there?s more visibility of mod actions there than here -after discussion with the forum membership. We share different politics, hobbies and interests.


I suspect most forum members don?t care about the politics of them. I?m not particularly interested in either version of the SE26 forum as I don?t live or visit Sydenham. I belong to EDF because I live just inside Southwark and visit Lordship Lane.


I was on SE23.com for years and vaguely remember some of the disappearing members and arguments. But when it started to get very quiet, I stumbled across SE23.life which was more active, seemed friendlier, had more modern software and felt more relevant and open (eg allowing business recommendations etc).


I?m posting this as a reasonably active and long term member of three of the forums mentioned. for the suspicious minded (I?ve been here long enough to know there are a few) I?m not posting this because Chris has asked me to and I?m doing it as a local resident rather than with my mid hat on)

Believe me I can speak with confidence when I say that there are few amongst us who consider Mr Beach to be a "nice guy"

Chris Beach has quite the history, I?m astonished you could stand to be in his company and not vomit.


Each to their own of course...

My curiosity got the better of me whilst following the currently relevant SE26 antics and I happened upon seeing something similarly untoward had happened to Mr Beach on this forum and I wanted to understand what happened better before I formed a judgement on the SE26 case. It would appear that there is a pattern and either Mr Beach suffers from extreme misfortune in the moderation of his posts on community forums or indeed there lies some fault on his part. It is becoming clear that Mr Beach has quite a reputation in these parts which has taken me somewhat by surprise!

I still don?t see the relevance to ED general issues other than stirring things elsewhere.


I?m quite sure most of us have met someone at some point who we have thought was fine but others find heinous. I tend not to vet every casual acquaintance?s personal history or views. I am sure most of us have a few skeletons in the closet.


All these cloak and dagger insinuations don?t feel particularly adult and I?m not sure why I?d give them more weight than the experience I?ve had. I?m not saying that I agree with Chris? approach or views at times but this doesn?t feel like an appropriate place to air dirty laundry where the person whose underwear it is can?t respond.

Quite right Apple. We should all be tolerant of everyone's views. After all, telling a women she should have aborted her pregnancy because poor people shouldn't have children, or lauding Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech is just a another point of view. Nothing wrong with that.


Good thing there are people like you to come and defend him. After all, it's not like he doesn't regularly come by here of his own accord anyway. Oh wait.

Oh I did! And it came back with a description of gutless people who get really upset and all hurt feelings when other people point out what a hate-filled bigot they are.


Like I say, you and Chris Beach would get along really well.


You?re such a keyboard warrior, always ready to throw insults and fake news sound bites, but you?ve never once engaged in actual debate.

Ah, I see we can add zero sense of irony or humour to the antisemitism, islamaphobia and hatred of immigrants.

The thread most likely does not make a jot of sense any longer in any case since the external posts I originally alluded to have now been extinguished. I hasten to add however that it would appear that Mr Beach is accustomed to folk being far less then courteous to him and in his own words he states that this behaviour does not bother him in the slighhtest


My evidence for this is presented via this linked site

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
