Grumpiness
I have in recent months been accused of being grumpy. Longer serving members of the forum will (I hope) attest that in days gone by such a charge (whilst possibly not lacking all foundation) would not have stuck for long. So why the change? I asked myself that question, and here are the answe...

.......... are just trying to stir up more trouble as you did on his previous post. Better leave it alone Gwyn. It's typical Trollish behaviour. Best thing for him to do is call out to his buddies, form a parade and crawl back under the rock he came from. Martin.

When I first joined this forum (a few years ago) there was very little conflict, everyone seemed to get on like a house on fire. True we had the occasional dispute and managed to upset the odd member here and there (I think even I did that once:oops:) But never was there anything like the arguments ...

I start threads or contribute to them because I hope to learn from others' contributions or trigger a debate (not deliberately contentious) where there is a subject in which I would like to weigh up dichotomous opinions. There are some threads on here that were started in that spirit by others bu...

Sorry George, just seen your post. Thanks for the clarification. The last post took me ages so I missed yours. Apologies! It just annoys me when people use terms such a chaps & guys when referring to both sexes. That puts us back to the use of the English language again. I can see that you meant no ...

There might be members on here like G. who takes pride in the English language but he and others will have to bite the bullet and allow this type of writing within the forum as no one has the right to dictate to others on this or any other forum how they should write or how things should be set out....

Maybe the other members who emailed you should have the courage to express their opinions here. I think you are being way too over sensitive about George's comments, and now are just trying to stir up more trouble as you did on his previous post. Being sensitive has nothing to do with it Gwyn, Ge...

WOW!!!! One day away from the forum and I've missed all this! Isn't technology brilliant? After more than a month away, a wedding, a honeymoon, and a car crash, I am very happy to give a little contribution to this forum once again. - George, well said, thank you for your initial post with...

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, it seems to me you would need to have a heart of stone to read George's original post without shedding a tear of laughter at the supposed injustices suffered. But rather than take issue with his hypocrisy or petty prejudices, I would instead like to outline my anthrop...

I will mention only one final thing; although George is clever at wrapping this up in a flowery albeit somewhat pompous literary style he has a tendency to be rude and abusive (I had thought he temporarily made an effort to curb this but he appears to be back to his old ways again). However, it i...

Just a quick note about proper use of language: 50 years ago the discussion would have been exactly the same. Indeed. And fifty years ago the standard of English was immeasurably higher than it is now. (I know - I was there!) But as others have pointed out, I am not asking for perfection, ju...

Well I've just arrived back to find all this, and as most of you are not aware of what has happened behind the scenes in the past few days with a couple of members, apparently from the same group, I'll just say that some of the comments in this thread are somewhat disingenuous to say the least.
