The dark side of the forum. (stupid, aggressive "we'll ruin you on the EDF" comments)


Recommended Posts

because for a couple of days it threatened to at least try to stay on topic about how the forum is used in the Real World.

As it offtopicated by becomin totally self-obsessed about posters past and present, Admin lost patience, and Bingo!!

The diversion this thread took re bullying has been beneficial to the forum IMO as I have not seen 'bullying' or nasty spats on here since this thread. There is at least one poster, (possible reincarnation), that just name calls/swears still). Maybe it has made everybody think twice for whatever reasons. However I do not read all threads/sections.
Let's face it, EDF has always had a reputation for being snotty and rude. I've lurked here for about a year before joining, and in that time I've seen some spectacularly unpleasant behaviour. I joined the other day and posted, and within a day was being called 'an odious little sh*t' and a 'heartless bastard', because I made a mildly contentious point. I'm no fainting violet, but I can see why many people would find that to be unnecessarily rude. To be honest, I actually think the two posters who were rude to me misunderstood my post - if English isn't their first language, I can recommend a course - but that doesn't give them an excuse to behave like morons.

Many people would find your "mildly contentious point" very rude.


Somebody was trying to help out their neighbour by finding somebody to board up their window for them, and you told them to do it themselves and it wasn't rocket science.


Personally, I'd say that was "snotty and rude". And English is my first language (and I'd say "if English isn't their first language, I can recommend a course" was a pretty snotty and rude comment, as well.


By all means post on here as rudely as you like - but don't then accuse other people of rudeness!

Oh stop it both of you! Acting like children and further demonstrating the point of this thread is only making you both look silly.

There is no need to provoke or respond to each others comments in the way that you are.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
