But this is a nonsense surely? Every single one of us has responsibilities - which by definition means we should and should not do certain things?


Even to be aware of Administrators terms of use of the forum means we are aware we should do certain things?


as for




Is there another meaning I am overlooking?

I think my point is being missed entirely and I no longer wish to explain it.


No it's not excepting that anyone is in the right over someone else just the moment has past and by pulling something apart as much as this has lost it's original, if slightly confusing (to some), meaning.

Why should a conversation consist of one another being prepared to listen and adapt? OK you have to listen. But if the other person is spouting guff then there is certainly no need to adapt. But of course one person's guff is another person's bible. Who decides which is which?

no not saying that at all karter. Please don't be trying to stir things up ta.


people in general shouldnt have to do anything.


Theres a difference between following rules and respecting the flavour of a place than anyone should have to do anything because others say so - when it comes down to opinion listening and respecting someone elses thoughts is a better approach than being made to do anything unless of course it is against the ethos and code of conduct of somewhere.

There seems to be a nice sort of equilibrium. For every lost Quaywe we might get a new Quids. If marmots man pipes down santerme pipes up. If there isn't enough Huguenot pedantry I can fill the breach.

Not much snorky? Presto blah/whatever coincidentally embittered surly Hibernian misanthrope may appear next.

  • Administrator
I am the Administrator. There are three or four moderators, they have all been on here (almost) since the beginning and fortunately they have not drifted away as their help keeps the forum running like the well oiled machine that it is. Most of the time.

I guess that moderation, like the law, should be applied without a view to the identity or status of the subjects.


Keeping moderation separate from personal issues means that the moderators can act in the best interests of the site without bringing personal baggage with them.


It also protects them from the few loonies out there who may take moderation issues out of proportion and seek retribution.


The fact that there are a few of them provides balancing views and does a good job of keeping tyranny at bay, although in principle Admin isn't really under an obligation to do that. It's privately run as an act of charity ;-)


Why are you so keen to know cate? If you felt you had a particular personal gripe, you should appeal through private messaging perhaps?

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
