Bloody auto complete....or in EDF junkie jargon, a quick fix in the train station loos...

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.

    • When mine was stolen I tracked it to Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park, where it sat for several hours, and then over to a phone shop on Rye Lane in Peckham. Police thought they likely stash them somewhere in the car park until they have a few to drop off. It's literal schoolkids, so even worse in the holidays.
    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets. 
    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private property, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own].
