There is so much talk of bullying, I haven't seen any real bullying on this forum only arguing and people getting emotional. Who is bullying who? Or is it all by Private Messages? Sam said she'd had PMs that upset her so I hope they have stopped. Haven't people the right to post on other forums if they want to?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I;m afraid that the flame baiters will be going with you. I have to support blackest and verdun on this one. None of this would have happened if there had been an open invitation to the other forum as an addition to this one. I have been offended by a few posts, but would not have said so, had all this not blown up. The perpetrators of those posts were one or two of those going to the new forum. I believe that Miss Becks had good enough motives in setting it up, but to regard it as a protest against this forum is unwise and somewhat ludicrous, because if the new forum takes off, it will soon get its share of trolls and troublemakers. That's life. The only alternative is to make it a private club and that means it is exclusive and involves a judgement of perfectly nice people who post on this forum but have not been invited. Wrong!
Good heavens, I thought this had been done with. For goodness' sake, I hope the Fork Handles thread gets locked, or even deleted, the moderation on here leaves a lot to be desired. If folk are leaving because they're being bullied by PM, then they need to forward the bullying/derogatory emails to Daniel, because he has the powers to do something about it. I'd then also ignore the poster on the forum.
Life's too short for petty bickering and backbiting. TinaTurner and Brumbull, PLEASE don't leave. I for one enjoy your posts and advice, it's nice to chat to both of you, you feel like friends, and I'd hate for either of you to stop posting.
Let those who want to go and have their little club, if it's not a public forum it will fizzle out. To me it looks like the toys have been chucked out of the pram, so they've decided to create a forum that they CAN police, by deleting users they don't want, they can't do that on here.
I enjoy posting here, and don't really give a rats' arse about anywhere else, my FREINDS are here. I won't be bullied, I was in the past, never again.
Now the crap weather has done one, let's all get back out there, ready for the riot that will be going on in the garden, rather than the pettiness and sniping thats' been going on here.
MMP. What can I say. I am really touched as I thought I was one of the invisable posters on here. I usually talk a load of twaddle.
I too am sorry that Brumbull and Verdun seem to have chosen to leave as they brought a lot of fun to this Forum and had it not been for one particular person, who shall be nameless, everyone could have plodded happily on enjoying the threads they liked.
Not sure if you are a Beeb refugee but, if so, you will remember the non-gardening chat thread there. Never a cross word, everyone welcome. Got the odd troll, but the Beeb soon sent the packing. I withdrew as, once again, it became dominated by 2 people. Nuff said, exactly MMP.

joslow is not 'one of their group' actually!
I think this will be my last post on here, I have had enough, the other site will be closely moderated and flame baiters and trolls will be deleted.
