Otta, likewise and that is so very true.


In another place, the death of someone we knew was announced by a few people, with one friend stating "He will be sorely missed". The next person posted "How do you know". This caused a deluge of abuse, until it was explained the question was "how do you know he has died" rather than peoples interpretation "how do you know he will be missed", as the person posing the question had not heard anything until it was read on the forum. A perfectly innocent question/remark over this media will one day,undoubtedly, start a world war.

I can see that does happen on crossed posts regularly adonirum; but experience offers a few simple techniques.


explicitly answer/comment on previous posts by referencing or quoting poster and/or content.

Smilies, they have their detractors, but god knows a wink can just make obvious the intention. We don't have tone of voice, so it helps to provide it in other ways.

    • Are they the two I can see on page 7 of the For Sales? 
    • Contact admin? If you click on your name, they are showing as having been posted in the For Sale section, but as you say, they are not there. Could you have accidentally deleted them?
    • Just a quick post to say that my restaurant reviews column is now one year old. There are 45 reviews here* - mostly of local places (some sadly now defunct, others thriving). There are a couple of recipes from a period when I couldn't afford to eat out, a couple of moans about my health when I couldn't eat out on doctor's orders and a couple of reviews beyond our manor. But the main thing is that it is a free, useful guide to local dining and, I hope, an entertaining read. You can, of course, pay to subscribe or follow for free to get the reviews directly into your inbox as I don't want to spam EDF with every review (doctor says I'm not allowed spam anyway). The pictures below come from my two most popular reviews - Persepolis (new SE22 spin-off opening soon) and Norbert's, a great addition to East Dulwich. Please have a read and please consider subscribing. Did I mention you can subscribe for free?   https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/  *It would have been 46 but one review didn't run because the meal was so disappointing. I try not to be negative. To paraphrase Boyzone (or is it Westlife?) I said it best by saying nothing at all.
