And yet, I learn from Q's post that you have chosen to ridicule us - on another forum - for sympathising/empathising with a forum member here. Is this the act of a cultured, educated and intelligent person? Apologies for any errors in spelling, grammar or the use of commas or quotation marks. lorna    Report

The 'other forum' you refer to is in fact open to any member of the general public who might wish to register, apart from one chap who was banned. Why don't you join in and have some fun instead of larking (sic)? Do not try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.    Report

I certainly wouldn't want to make 'fun' by joining in with some of the comments made. However I am sure if anyone wants to know whats being said on the "Dark Sid" or "DS" (if you want to search) they can always PM me and I will give them the URL. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report

OK, another small, intimate (and, dare I say, insignificant) forum operates less control over what is posted than this one, and other well-used places. That's probably because, unlike the big ones, its owner is not bound by commercial considerations. And, possibly in deference to over-sensitive souls, because some of the language can be a little robust at times, one has to register there in order to use it. Topics on other forums are sometimes referred to, and those other forums have affectionate nicknames. There's nothing sinister, no unpleasant rivalry, no bullying, no unpleasant mocking - unless I am missing something. Just honest opinions, and it's open to any opinion. You just don't have to get upset if somebody disagrees; discussions between users generally end up amicably. All the forums are different, and appeal to different users. Nobody is saying any one is superior, it's a matter of personal taste. Edit - just to set the record straight, I believe two people have been banned from there (both of whom have been banned from here too, one several times) Will intentionally blank signature http://www.vienormande.com    Report
