I think I made a similar point to another poster recently, but don't you think it's a little childish to demand double attention to your post? Once is usually enough, unless you aren't yet old enough to grasp others' relative importance in the universe.

[malumbu]

That tickled me!

[Moos]

Then you'll fit right in here.

[karter]

Malumbu, welcome to the edf.:)-D

[ruffers]

What's juvenille? ;-)

[RosieH]

I have suggested a forum sandpit before now, for the playing in.

Malumbu, perhaps you could run it, like that girl in School of Rock who asks for more tests and homework..?

[Ladymuck]

Why? Because it's FUN! That is not to say that everyone on here is juvenile - oh no no no no no.

Welcome to the EDF malumbu.

[jctg]

You've spelt juvenile wrong.

[northlondoner]

Yes. Doesn't do much for our collective maturity !

[Tarot]

One has to give in to their oncoming dotage,be stupid ,dribble, get,drunk, go on the forum. Good innit.

[PeckhamRose]

When governments treat us as stupid, when there are cameras everywhere making us feel over-watched, when we feel completely bombarded by signs saying Do Not Do That and Do Not Do This and even on the toilet doors in pubs and public conveniences telling you to flush the toilet, and when one writes helpful useful posts in here only to have some tw@ make daft and unhelpful comments, one is not surprised that people will behave in a juvenile fashion as a result.

Since you asked! And welcome to this otherwise fabulous forum. Take what you want from it and ask not what your forum can do for you, but what you can do for your forum. And when you try to do good on it, be not surprised at the wankers who write shit in your thread ;) ;)

[malumbu]

Someone got out of the bed the wrong side.

Why don't people flush public toilets? Whoops gone off thread.

PS this really is (seriously) a welcoming forum.

[Ladymuck]

> PS this really is (seriously) a welcoming forum.

INNIT!:))

So I understand that freedom of expression is good and censorship is bad. This is why I gave up on another forum just up the road.

But flip me. What is the point of starting threads if many of you lot just go off on some childish banter.

I start a thread about exciting journeys interested in some eclectic experiences. Oh no, someone has to say Penge, and that sounds like minge. Ho flippin ho. Three posts about journeys, 30 posts about minge.

I ask about my sister's 40th present, in all innocence. But how long does is take for someone to suggest a sex toy. Oh I have just wet myself that was just too amusing.

I try to gauge the age and background of the audience. Some sound actually quite mature and sensible. Not all from the Nuts, Oasis get your boobs out for the lads, nonsense. Really not sure any more. Someone inspire me please.

[Louisa]

What's wrong with a sex toy for a 40th? That's my birthday wish list out the window then.

Louisa.

[KalamityKel]

I dont think u could say its and edf specific thing malumbu... happens everywhere. Only yesterday an innocent office comment "can i have some blu tack for my knob"... well need i say more?

Louisa - Thought that mile stone had past some time ago ;-) *hides*

So what you're saying is 'grow up'? It might help if you didn't use the superior-sounding, pompous and embarrassingly self-reverential term "you lot" quite so often.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I do like 'juvenille', though. Sounds childish, but softer and fluffier.

[KalamityKel]

AND soooo incredibly exciting!

[Seabag]

In my defence I suggested teeth whitening, did you go for that one?

And while we are at it. Your posts/op's can (like the one in question) sound so flippin patronising

Seriously, do you not read them back and think, "How do I sound here?"

If not, pm them to me and i'll rate them for you on my Knob-O-Meter

[MrBen]

Lol. Brilliant Seabag.

[Robert Poste's Child]

If a tad pot/kettle.

Yes, true RPC

But mine are meant to be

And WE can all be slightly picky/patronising can't we

"WOOOOOP WOOOOOOOP"

Stop waving your Knob-O-Meter about Seabag, playing havoc with my wifi...
