I'm comparatively new to the forum and have to say I haven't experienced any of the negativity some are speaking of. Any question I have asked has received positive and polite responses.
If, as is virtually inevitable with any bulletin board, there are a few stirring the manure just ignore them. They wouldn't do it in the 'real world' and get their kicks by way of anonymous trolling. Don't allow them to get to you and drive you away.
thing is forums are like being in your local pub everbody chatting and whispering so what ! (But)
If someone was talking about someone else and you overheard the bickery, nasty, things that they were talking about would you confront them or walk by like that you didn't hear.
Haven't posted much lately; been rather busy digging holes, moving things around & slinging slate about but do try to read most of the threads when I get the time. I haven't actually noticed any nastiness & feel sad that someone as helpful & kind as Waterbutts should be targetted by some inadequate & ineffectual numpty. What sort of a kick do these Dilberts get out of stirring things up? What's the point?
I've always found folk on here to be kind, humorous & helpful & am always grateful for all of the advice that I've had. - They are by far the greatest majority on here & am sure it will continue to be so.

Will miss you Waterbutts.
I like this forum, usually too zombified from work to type much, but it's definately more genuine and fun than other forums.
I LIKE IT HERE TOO!!
