Come to think of it, I parked the caravans up beside my new £300,0000 motorhome, need to *** down and collect them all before the deadline.
I will bring my library card for ID.

Really !!!!! was there any need to post such rubbish !!!!
The OP only posted what may be of use to anyone involved in that situation, copied from another Forum.
Perhaps in future you will think before posting !!!!

There seems to be a self appointed third moderator on this forum that nobody told me about though. :dry:Dustydog said:That explains why there are no Politicians on hereProfJohnL said:I use the yard stick of 'if I wouldn't say it in a public place full of strangers, I won't use it on the forum'![]()

Damian-Moderator said:Quote " For a moderator to respond in such a way does nothing for this forum and indeed would discourage existing and new members from posting here"
What you posted is the exact reason that discourages new members from posting, having a derisory reply to what was an attempt to forewarn owners of problems is not helpful.
Quote "
Is it really necessary for a moderator to be as abrasive as you have been?"
Yes it is . It is precisely that kind of posting and others in similar veins over the years that some users thought they would control what was posted and thought they had the right to be sarcastic in response to posts by others which saw a lot of users leave the forum. It will not happen again.
Quote " I guess that the skill of replying with tact and finesse is not an attribute that you posses in any quantity."
Yes I can be tactful if needed but usuallly find saying it "as it is" , is much easier to understand for some people.
Sarcastic and rude posts will never be allowed to go unchallenged.
ProfJohnL said:In the frenzy and zeal of thinking you have witty answer for a thread it is all too easy to not spot how it may be misconstrued.
Trying to use "in jokes" or references may be picked up by the intended recipient, but this is a public forum and anybody can see what you have written, but they cant see your face or mood or know you enough to garner other clues as to its intention. If they are not a member of your clique, the humour may be missed or the sarcasm seem pointed at at them which can be construed as offensive.
Simply adding emoji's does not automatically make it light hearted and alright everytime.
In a serious topic area it is better to discuss facts and ignoring personalities rather than attempts at humour.

And I do not necessarily support the view that just because it was the written word and not made on a caravan site where you could see the whites of his eyes makes it any different in this case.
I was going to reply but my life is short enough as it is without wasting any more time on this.
If you wish to leave the forum, that is your choice.
Chastisement gets no one any where.

Isnt this exactly what emojis are for. They allow you to make a statement and indicate what context that statement should be taken in if necessary.

Unfortunately not everyone interprets emojis in the same way.
