I'd just like to say that there's a worrying trend on this website, by a few people who seem to think its their exclusive domain to shout others opinions down, giving others short-shrift and hardly adding any wise thoughts or experiences to any debate on here.


I myself seem to have been targeted (and a few others) by a small minority of small-minded, 'peep-behind-the-keyboard' types. Sometimes i wonder what they do all day (and night) when they try to pick apart someones opinion.

Is'nt that what this site is for? to express one's opinion and not be castigated or ridiculed if someone thinks otherwise.


An example being... I'm quite new to this part of town and yet to know all the bus numbers and streets, so accidentally posting a message about and incident i was involved in, adding the wrong bus number, seemed to have been a mortal sin to those few! and does anyone really care what time a posting is uploded onto the site...no! lol!. Its a shame as many others i noticed being bullied and intimidated on here seem to think the same of those few who disrupt and bully others.


In fact, my way around that is just not to acknowledge any postings by those few (and we all know who they are....), that seems to really agrravates them into more serial aggressiveness, which i find quite petty and puerile and i actually end up laughing at them thinking the sad, empty lives they must lead!.


Also i think the (weak?) Administrator must take a much tougher stance and nip this bullying and insulting of others in the bud, otherwise people will just not longer log on and the site will become a shadow of itself in the future.


I enjoy participating in discussions on this site and also like to share with others (in a non-aggressive/open/friendly way) my own thoughts and experiences living in this community and surroundings, so lets keep it that way!.


Has anyone got any opinions or experienced similar on this subject?

Absolutely PGL.


I've noticed a similar trend of people on this site with paper-thin skin 'giving others short-shrift and hardly adding any wise thoughts or experiences to any debate on here'.


I've noticed that if someone disagrees with them instead of discussing their position they make a complaint and 'seem to think its their exclusive domain to shout others opinions down'.


Teasing them 'seems to really agrravates them into more serial aggressiveness, which i find quite petty and puerile and i actually end up laughing at them thinking the sad, empty lives they must lead!. '

I wonder if they'll even find this post agressive, and note the irony that if they do, they'd be thoroughly hoist by their own petard? ;-)

It is the first time I have heard of BIG BROTHER admin being weak, I do not feel he/she is weak at all and jumps in almost too readily if you are not very careful just because the law of the land does not want mouthy individuals sticking the boot into this perfectly balanced welfare state.


If you stick your neck out on this forum which is full of erudite scribes you can sometimes unwittingly become a 'target'.


Hardly surprising as many of the users started posting out of indignation of other posters statements.


If you don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen Poppylucky.

Where? All I see is the odd rambling moan posted in the early hours of the morning, which then prompts pages of discussion which you rarely, if ever, get involved in.

Excuse me if my comment is seen by any as bullying or intimidation BTW.

As for the soft soft tap of the cyber intimidation, i sort of agree Ms Lucky but just let the Admin know, it does a great job under what must be some fairly dynamic circumstances.


Ms Lucky some people unfortunately lack social skills in life and online, just ignore them and that'll get on their goat even more. i do.


And *Bob* please stop, you're giving me so much jokes that i can't even type striaght... i actually laughed out loud

Right there *Bob*, I never ever do under any circumstances. None whatsover. Nosiree Jack.

Unless it's an opportunity to bully, intimidate and patronise (with a 'z' my dear, how interesting) PoppyGoLucky.

But nothing much happening in the way of bullying and intimidation, so I'll slope off back to the Longe.

Make sure you lock up when you leave.

    • There was a brief discussion on the Lounge about the good old days of the Forum and the drinks where people with differing views seemed to get on fine with each other.  Can't find it or I would give you the link @Earl Aelfheah or @Sephiroth I think one of you had said something along these lines.  Yes go for it Sue!
    • Great idea! Yes, I think the SE22 curry club died a death. The restaurants were all much of a muchness at the time anyway, apart from Ganapati. Nyge and I were also recently  discussing whether people would be interested if we restarted  the Forum Drinks. They used to be fun, but I think the main organiser moved out of the area, as did some others,  and nobody else was very keen on taking it on.  Unless they are still happening covertly 🤣 If memory serves they were monthly, and in a different pub each time. It was good to be able to meet people in real life who post on the forum. I might start a separate thread at some point to see if anyone would be interested.
    • Really?! No wonder they still had so many left when we passed! What were they? How much did they want for them?! That seems an extremely strange way of enticing people into a new shop! 
    • I saw my GP at The Gardens on Wednesday, had blood tests yesterday at Tessa Jowell (not the surgery, the blood testing place)  and had a text from my GP surgery this afternoon with the results. Your experience sounds appalling.
