Now, can you keep your promise   Yes, provided you answer the question.  Can we discuss on open forum, the rules of the forum.  Just say no and I will not.  I can not see how discussion of this topic breaches the rules you quote.  The use of heavy typpe incidentally suggests that you feel I am a previously banned member.  I am not and will happil send to you, privately, proof of my Id.

I feel safe on this Forum as thanks to the rules abuse and bad language are not tolerated but you are given adequate freedom to express your views.    Report

It is in their interest to ensure that 'negative' or critical postings are removed.  I think that as long as you view the forum in that context you will be fine. Yep! Correct.  That is why I wanted this debate.  Of course that is true.  LF want to paint a lovely view of perfect life in France.  It's just that as a member of the public I happen to care that someone might throw a bit of caution to the wind, sell up their house, move their kids to a foreign country all in the name of selling magazines. Maybe I shouldnt care but as it is an open Forum I have my moment to say what I think or raise some important questions. Deby http://www.chateau-de-clerac.com    Report
