I've lived in the area for 9 years and have read the forum for years and posted only ocasionally. Serious issues to crop up from time to time. I'm not interested in the tittle tattle, and there are probably many people like myself who feel the same.

I'm simply criticizing the editorial policy that puts a tragic fire in the section dedicated to off-topic waffle and jokes.

The main part of the forum is effectively the lounge as it's full of small talk. Is there a problem with heavy-handed moderation?

Do you think a major fire in which people have died should be in the lounge, so you can carry on speculating on where the next M&S Simply Food might open?

TillieTrotter Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > They are and thats why there is a thread about it. Thanks for some sense. It doesn't deserve to be put in the lounge, which is dedicated to idle chat and trivial jokes does it? It's a serious matter not a source of cheap puns.

Are you the moderator?

Is there a problem with the way this forum is run? I've noticed that major stories of interest to East Dulwich - such as significant crime or today's fire in the Camberwell tower block - are relegated to the lounge, while the main part of the forum is full of rubbish about lost cats, where the best chips can be found, and the latest pointless boutique opening on lordship lane. What is the problem? Small-minded moderators? Lack of perspective? A preoccupation with shopping? This is truly a very weak forum, and East Dulwich deserves better.

What the fuck is this thread doing in the lounge? This story is the lead on the BBC news website and is all over TV news.
