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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.

      Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
