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?

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
