Well, somethings happening as I have just been chastised for being two faced and that 'your comments to a certain person has saddened me'. As this poster would not know who I am on this site but the she person referred to does, it makes me think that there's been a bit if chat going on behind the scenes.
It seems to me that the breakaway group are achieving their aim. I'm out.
I really hope nobody decides to leave this forum due to this silly PM thing going on.
It's upsetting that some people are letting their ugly side show. Thats .. disappointing, you would hope grown ups could play nice. I can guess who the 'leader' is, what an ... :P
Anyway being members of more than one forum isn't unusual, nobody has to make a choice to be on this forum or on that forum
It is sad it is straining friendships. I guess being a bit thick skinned helps, but i'm sure i am not the only person unwilling to bend to another persons will, we are fundamentally equal.
The only way you can be pressurised or bullied is if you let yourself be. A friend isn't a friend if they are pressurising you to do something you do not want to do.
I hope people are happy with their new forum, just have the curtesy to be respectful and considerate of peoples feelings. This forum will be better and stronger for losing these bullies.
So far as I can tell all the nice people are staying put, so no worries
Ok-I have had enough of this-and take this as my final posting on this subject and this forum
Verdun-you are making a big fuss about nothing-Ok am alternative forum has been set for the reasons that Becks gave on Saturday-to talk about gardening and have a bit of fun-some were asked to test it out-we could not ask that many or it would have been crowded
People were happy to have a look ask yourself why is that ? and stop droning on about a community it is a forum- people come and go all the time
There was never any rule saying you cant post on both forums that is plainly stupid-some tried it said it was not for them -fair enough
I am happy to post the link if people felt excluded that is unfortunate-it is just that they were not included-which is not the same thing
You talk about bullies in one breath and then accuse people of having an agenda-that is not the case-you are constantly stirring the pot
And then someone else throws in some abuse
I admire your gardening knowledge but your diplomatic skills leave a lot to be desired
Now why not drop this and let people have a free choice of where to go-there are many gardening forums out there this is just one of those-nothing more.
I have not sent out bullying PMs-I have explained my position to Verdun privately
I will now wish you all a happy gardening year and a fond farewell it has been a blast-time to move on
Hope this means we can now get on happily without the unpleasantness.
Tina Turner please don't get upset by this breakaway group they are leaving and hopefully now will leave us in peace. The best friendliest members will still be here

I dont really like these comments Blackest about 'breakaway groups' leaving you all in peace and the friendliest members will still be here!
I also post on the other site, purely because I like to read about the garden queries and info, and there is only one chat thread. This doesnt make those people on there nasty or unfriendly, as it doesnt make me nasty or unfriendly either. Maybe that is how you think of me, I dont know.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
As a new member not for long reading this thread is like looking after a P1 class of children come on folks it's a big wide world out there and plenty room for everybody no need for all this carry on from adults. I love coming on here and reading posts and getting advice may i say from everyone the thing about a forum is you can take part or just look in and learn. Being new i can't give out much advice on gardening but it dose'nt stop me taking part in the forum maybe the weather has got to some if they where getting into their garden weather being good these silly posts might not have came about so lets all move on and enjoy the rest of the year gardening.
I feel a bit left out here! no one has sent me any PM's except dear Sam, and she is lovely.
Oh and others re: seed swaps.
So how did you join the other forum as it's invite only?
Anyway I really don't care for the underhandedness and bullying that has gone on and as you can tell i don't give a monkeys what people think to me. I do care thou that people are getting upset , and bullied, and i won't stand idle for that. There are great people here and i'd hate to see them feeling excluded and unwanted.
Anyway i've answered your question on how to get the nasa data for your area on another thread. I don't feel any emnity to you personally at all.
Haven't received any e-mails,or invites to join anything, but recent correspondence on this and other sites is very depressing. Like blackest I won't be bullied, or let others be bullied, but in this case there is little that can realistically be done.
Excuse the language,but I cannot be arsed with all of this, and I'm gone - back to the garden and allotment!

Hi lyn no I don't think of you as nasty or unfriendly , you are still here.
I'll be honest I don't think much to geoff and his tantrums in his attempts to rule here.
This is awkward, Lyn didn't you say at 10:25 this morning
So how did you join the other forum as it's invite only?
