Cant take a joke

BTW quoteing rules at me isnt what I asked. What I wanted was reasoning and thankfully pete has answerd me.

Refno 4:
This isnt flameing its simply asking a question.

Ref 8, I will always speak my mind if I have an issue with something.

Im prepared to let this lie for now but will be keeping an eye on things. Frankly im not intrested in participating in a dictaorship.

 

I feel my point has now been made and will not be posting any further comment on this particular thread.

 

Good man

 

Yes thanks Nathan. This forum is the better for a bit of very light moderation. The user group alt.rec.gardening is beset by spats, and even worse terrible spam posting. It makes it an unusable format.

My own interest is in gardening, and I have learnt so much here from so many very knowledgeable people as well as the friendships and swapped seeds and cuttings, that I would hate any tiff to spoil it.

 

Being fairly new to GC I know we all had to agree to a few rules when registering.
Only sensible really to keep things running in a smooth and friendly way and
if some object to that then why did they agree in the first place?

I have been impressed at the amount of gardening information available and have
learned a lot on this forum and found members are always very amiable and helpful.

 

The information here is invaluable, but the friendship here is priceless. We are human, so there is going to be run ins, but this is not a play ground, and biccaring and insulting gets us nowhere and the foundations of this wonderful community crumble. The mods guard our right to all these things in peace, and for this i think we should all thank them, its a hard job to not get paid for! :D

 

Hmm....interesting. I was personally insulted both here and in PM. I hope he got was required by the rules. I could add much more....but I also like it here and don`t want to add any more fuel to the fire. Cheers...freddy.

 

At least I know what "Flaming" is now. I got a smack on the wrist for that and didn't know what I'd done.
I agree with you WM. I belong to sites with no mods and they're really just a place to have a row.

 

i would just like to say :D :D

 

I know you are terrible on those sites :eek:

 

I think it's been said before make more use of smilies everone knows if something is said as a joke or tongue in cheek just by using the appropriate one,life's to short to argue just get on with living it, offensive language should not be tolerated.

 

Too right Walnut as most of you know or at least should do by now I love nothing better to chat about my gardening, pain in my a*s which is not Bob by the way :D and just generally having a good giggle...if you can't have a good laugh then all hope has been lost! Hel.xxx.
