You think it's inflammatory and aggressive to use the word 'jeering'?

I'm genuinely perplexed.

Perhaps you know a different definition from me?

I think it's really bad forum etiquette to start a thread about a private message, naming the person who sent it and publishing the content or alluding to what it was about.


If you're prepared to post on a public forum, and be quite antagonistic with it, then you can reasonably expect to receive a response on the forum or by PM.


I don't read the family room posts but from what I've seen of Londonmix on other parts of the forum comes across as a reasonable, fair and interesting poster whose contributions are worth reading. Increasingly rare qualities these days, in my opinion. LM has already politely explained their use of the word jerk and why they PMd rather than derailed the thread so no need to go on about other ridiculous things it could have meant. I'd be horrified if someone started a thread about a PM I'd sent. It's unnecessary and unpleasant behaviour.


If you're being "cyber-bullied" or receiving offensive, abusive PMs then that's another matter entirely. Nothing to see here tho.

Oh god blimey, wipe your mouth of it all


And offering to meet someone to 'have it out' is idiotic


Being called a jerk in a pm is pretty polite given the above


I'm thinking something stronger here

I hear the latest grand theft auto is centered around a fictional East Dulwich. Where nothing really happens except people abuse each other with childish names in drive by shoutings and message boards. Then bleat about a tree being damaged for the rest of the game.

If you do decide to have it out in person i would be happy to referee if you could make it a Friday morning as I'm turfed out of my flat by the cleaner #firstworldproblems

I just sent myself a PM calling myself a gentrifier. I've reported myself to the mods, the police and the rockers.

lol


This is probably the least risky forum in the world to act like an internet tough guy and ask people if they "want some". What are you going to do, throw their latte over their labradoodle? "Jerk" sounds like an okay description.

Not as rich as a 'newbie' writing that. Unless of course you aren't. In which case who were you before?

      Party wall dispute - what now?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It is particularly important that you have a survey done before the work commences (which should be paid for by your neighbour) - this allows a 'before and after' picture to identify any issues caused by your neighbour's work - which again must be remedied at his expense. As this all must be paid for by your neighbour (under law) it may be an acceptable risk to commission your own survey (again your right to choose the surveyor although your neighbour can offer his own surveyor or structural engineer, which is normally cheaper for him, if you are prepared to trust that).  You might additionally, although the surveyor should also do this, photograph any areas in your property you believe may be at risk - new cracks in plasterwork are his responsibility to remedy as well. Your neighbour is quite wrong to suggest that the work he is intending does not fall into the party wall legislation - and informing both Southwark and the ground landlord of his intentions is a good first step. As others have said, a solicitor's letter to remind him of his legal obligations might be an expense worth bearing. The potential damage to his and your property could be irreparable. Other than choice of surveyor (his or yours) there are no other areas of negotiation - the party wall legislation is surprisingly clear on this, I believe.

      Tommy was super efficient and polite.  He took time to dismantle my boiler properly and give it a thorough service.  He explained to me exactly what he was doing and charged fairly.  I really recommend Tommy!
