I started this thread for a reason:


I'm praising a particular group because I like them. They are the nicest people on the EDF and deserve to be told so.


Some can be annoying because they make a simple comment, know that they might be lighting a fuse, and mayhem follows.


Then there are the ones that bear the brunt of the unpleasant comments. Some, a lot of the time. Others, occasionally.

If they are having a bad day or are feeling down, only to receive nasty, snide comments when they decide to visit the forum, that is hardly going to make them feel better is it?


If people can quite happily do this to others, I wouldn't want to know them in the real world.


And the rude ones? Well sometimes it's easier to pretend they haven't seen a post, but if someone asked them a question face to face, they would answer - not ignore.

I'm sure others find this frustrating.


So I started this to make people think. Just thinking before you post can make such a difference, especially if you are just about to upset somebody with your next comment.

Everybody here has feelings.


I can hold my own/give as good as I get during a discussion/difference of opinion but I did make a thoughtless, uncalled-for remark once which has now been deleted because it's nothing to be proud of.


Yes, I could easily put names into groups (as suggested), but that isn't going to happen. After reading regulars posts on a daily basis for 5 years, I do have quite a good idea about the person behind the username. I know others do too.

Most will know what group/groups they fall into. Some won't care. Some will. It takes all sorts to make a forum!


And if this thread makes me sanctimonious, so be it. I would sooner be that, than bury my head in the sand and turn a blind eye.

If I feel that something needs saying to make things better, I say it. End of.


Feel the love :)

Haha, no.


I was talking about the type of poster that claims they're being bullied as soon as anyone disagrees with them.


"Well excuse me for having an opinion on my area, clearly not allowed with the EDF clique" type thing.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
