That's a typically pathetic comment which simply brings this forum into disrepute. It smacks of the anonymous rubbish which apparently (I don't follow it) litters so-called social media

I do not want to stop anyone from voicing their opinions, far from it, but others have posted that they do not like this forum because of the tone used by certain posters.

The problem with rudeness and name calling is that it inherently encourages responses of a similar nature. People appear to be choosing to leave the forum rather than get involved in these personal battles.

I was looking to see if a solution could be found where the missing posters might be encouraged to come back, without anyone feeling their right to say what they want had been compromised.

I believe the forum would be a better place if more tolerance of differing views was accepted, that name calling didn’t exist, and rudeness was stopped but if posters are happy to carry on in the same old way, then that’s fine with me.

Exactly and I was going to post as much .. but don't like to suck up to evil moderators.
lol

I for one am pleased to see our moderators are taking more interest in some of the posts on this site . They are 2 respected & well known posters , 1 for his interest in real ale & the other for his interest in toilets . Seriously I hope they do not have to intervene anymore .

When you need one you can't find a mod for love nor money and then two come along.
lol

Although I am not sure Jemmo is a moderator anymore.

Anyone who gets offended on here should try 'Millwall Online'...ha ha ha
