It's all a bit pots and kettles here isn't it?


The forum's just a cross-section of society: you get the odd wally, wide-boy, wisecracker, gossip or shrew. Most people are pretty nice though, just as they are in real life.


It's also easy to misinterpret, to judge people through the sunshine or fog of our own lifetime experiences, again often incorrectly.


It's often possible for one man's witticism to be seen as another man's personal insult. Admin can't legislate for everything. The Spartacus issue was obvious, I'm afraid the rest are less so. They're repartee and highly subjective.


Undoubtedly if you look for problems you'll find them, intentional or not.


The easiest thing to do is look for the best in people, and look for the best in their postings.


If you can't find it within yourself to do that then maybe a chat forum, with all its challenges, isn't the best place to hang out.

Well Quids can get a genuine rise out of me on here, but I've rarely met a nicer, more decent chap in RL. I would never let experiences on here spill over into the real world.


In fact I've been trying to tempt the likes of snorky and Alan Dale out for a drink unsuccessfully for ages, and if Louisa would ever like to share a nice glass of plonk and a bite to eat at Iceland I'd be more than delighted.


I too was annoyed that I didn't know Miekcg was there as I'd have given him a big doff of hat for having the balls to come along after winding quite a few posters up, but then his online behaviour softened slightly but noticeably after that experience too.


Many of us have had to mature our approach to the EDF since its inception, and I like to think there's hope for everyone.

I'm sorry. I've not read your comments. I just wanted you to feel loved.

On the outcast bit,to reassure you, no-one's going to remove your postings unless they break rules.


As in all public speaking you'll be supported by those that agree with you, and challenged by those that disagree. It's a forum!!


If you have an unpopular opinion, then there will be a majority in disagreement. This isn't because of a gang-mentality, but because the opinion isn't widely shared.


Really now, please, relax and move along....

interesting, so I need to be slightly more clever in future so as not to upset the Emperor.


but I still don't see the problem with pointing out that someone seems frustrated and pent up ...


or was it what I said afterwards that mirrored Will's comment but in a more subtle way


I am so confused and back in the old days there was none of this issue because we didn't have the internet !!!

I hope you're not talking about me here Mike. I was introduced to you and we had a chat. I remember saying to you that you hadn't done yourself any favours by some of your postings i.e the disgusting Munich air disaster song and the waving tenners at the protestors last week but I'm pretty damned sure we got on and left it at that. I certainly don't remember hearing anyone least of all me calling you a cock at the top of their voice and if it did happen then I must of been outside smoking cigarette or getting the drinks in.

I called you a bit of cock on the thread because I felt your post had warrented it. You seemed to have wanted to pass it off as humour. What may pass for humour in your mind obviously differs from most other people.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
