another defector!

[JawsOrca]

Once again.. welcome to everyone on here.. (Personally I enjoy both forums (I do)).. is it the time to move on now and talk about all the positive parts of the broads .. everyone I've ever met in Norfolk is truly lovely and friendly which is why we all choose to spend so much time up there (and you lucky ones who live up there!)... I'm not trying to moderate or anything, I can see it's clearly a very unfortunate issue but lets be positive now

[JennyMorgan]

I rather wish that this thread had not actually started, let alone developed, but it has & I suppose I have contributed to that, sorry.

[MauriceMynah]

I think the foundation on which this thread and the forum as a whole has been built is "Good will and good intention"

Yes sometimes things go a little wayward, they always will, then suddenly a post like Soundings comes along and we all sit up and straighten ourselves out. JOB DONE!!!

To Soundings I say, I don't think anyone here has the INTENT of you speak, at least, I ruddy well hope not!

[Soundings]

No doubt you are right MM. But looking at it from the point of view of the newcomers it is probably not how it comes across, intentionally or otherwise. Anyway as you say...JOB DONE! And I am now shutting up as I will be guilty of that which I am moaning about

[Guest]

Yes,  inter-forum denigration leaves a sour taste in the long run.

 

I know I'm guilty as well, it was difficult to not respond to the miss-informed comments.

 

There used to be a habit of not even mentioning other "competing" forums, maybe even that was better.....

Quite right, Strowager. Best just to keep quiet about the past and concentrate on becoming a respected member over here. Somewhat against human nature, though!

[BroadScot]

Having read and re read this thread, and all comments made, you will aways have differences of opinion, its the nature of the human beastie. 

 

By all means discus, but please this is the "Friendly Forum" and wish it to remain so. What has been said elsewhere should not carry on here please.

 

Yer Baby Mod,

 

Iain.

[kadensa]

Couldn't agree more.  What's done is done, let that be an end of it.

 

All new members are welcome here, and there's really no need for anyone to justify themselves.  

[Guest]

Baby Mod, maybe think about changing the thread title, which is needlessly (and I'm sure unintentionally) provocative?

[CooWee]

I am glad the spelling was correct!

[Guest]

I am glad the spelling was correct!

 

Yes, that would have qualified for a slap on the wrist!

[watershed]

Whoops.Seems I've (accidentally) trodden on toes already and I've only been posting for a day! The thread title was 'tongue in cheek' and not meant to open another can of worms.Please accept my humble apologies,I'll play nicely now.

[donnygeoff]

Well, I can post what I like now.....

 

As it is,,,,  after the WATERSHED.......

 

[littlesprite]

I would like to welcome all new members wherever they are from and hope you enjoy the site, I always try to  remember the words of Shakespeare before hitting the post button.

 

Good name in man or woman dear my lord, is the immediate jewel of their souls,

He who steals my purse, steals trash, twas something, tis nothing, twas mine tis his, and has been slave to thousands,

Yet! he who filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, yet makes me poor indeed.

[finny]

There is a lot of very good decent people between the forums and that should always be remembered ,personally I don't feel like a defector and I did not feel the need to come here and reinvent myself .......I was also very grateful for the warm welcome I got here ,my sentiments are up there with Strowys more so after years of being on hand when the forum need financial help......I was not happy so very quietly I left

 

 

broads forums should be informative about the area and what folk are doing - if you truly love the broads and surrounding area encouraging and backing local businesses should be at the fore front in your mind ,and I hate to say it but the other forum is almost cancer like to that ,and there is nothing wrong in a serious debate conducted with respect rather than fanning the flames .........and they are out there

 

 

finny these days stays away from the verbal handbag scraps - I find I enjoy more ........I also likes a bit of humour ......even though it can be a bit thin on the ground with some

 

thanks for everything

 

Finny XXXX ( see I even give you kisses )

I couldn't have put it better if I'd tried, Alan. 

 

Can we now put this to bed, please, peeps?  

[finny]

Don't be using the " Bed " word with me and Gracie being around John .......we have only just had our first kiss

[Hockham Admiral]

Now then, Malarkingfin!  Behave!   :

Hello and welcome.

[MauriceMynah]

I think I've just worked out that I must be a de facto defector, deffo!

 

 

Don't you just hate it when people drop Latin expressions in their posts ad hoc.

[Polly]

Yep it goes on ad nauseam! Sic....
