thank you, my point proved. You say that people should be allowed to vent, freedom of speech etc. This is what i was doing and you tell me to shut up.
Maybe thinking before you write is a good policy as what you seem to champion, you also seem to want to quash.
Don't tell people to shut up; as you say, let them speak freely. Practice what you preach.

I think you were being given encouragement to join in with something more interesting than moaning about how others post.

Go girl!

You are absolutely spot on, this Forum has a considerably number of people who spend their sad time thinking up what they think are smart remarks and insulting people behind the anomonity of the web.

If you met them face to face they wouldn’t have the gum shone to say boo to anyone, they remind me of the tossers who put their fingers up to you because they are protected by two ton of steel in their cars you summed them up perfectly "LOSERS"

I don't get it!!! Why bother posting if the forum bothers you so much? Don't read the forum if it upsets you! Simple.

SMUDGER, it seems you have picked up on a few posts and coloured everything based on this. Grump can be 'grumpy' but he is also one of the most helpful and willing to offer advice if you had bothered to look into this before you criticised. By all means join in but try to make sure your perspective is more informed.

Believe me, there's far worse!!! Grump is a pussycat compared to some.

Very interesting remarks from someone that stated publicly on this forum that he ( assuming you are a he ) would never return to this forum and didn't want to be associated with sad old people .

Now lets go back to one of your previous posts where you asked for advice on picking up English TV channels in Cyprus ~ I gave you excellent advice which you chose to ignore with a comment of "can someone give me a serious answer to my question".

I repeated the answer again and expanded it a bit to include other options other than a huge dish and I received abuse back so I would say that the fault lies with you for not being able to understand the written word and appreciate good advice when it's given ~ that sadly your problem not mine.

I would be more than willing for a personal meeting with you to find a solution to your perceived problems and that is meant in a genuine manner and not in the slightest to be regarded as a threat ~ but would you be there or are you hiding behind the keyboard as you seem to imagine others are .

I don't work so I'm available most days unless out pursuing one of my many hobbies or it may come as a bit of a shock to you ~ visiting friends ~

Now to sense of humour ~ obviously you are quite a serious person that doesn't enjoy a smile and a laugh occasionally and that makes me feel sad for you ~ but there are folk on this forum that would insult you and argue with you the likes of which you have ( obviously ) never seen before should you stray into the wrong thread .

Go on have a laugh and lighten up ~ you know you can do it if you try hard .

As for suddenly reappearing to support our newest member ~ the ebay reseller ~ well no comment.

Bill ~ large as life ~ both in person and behind the keyboard

Hi all.
I've not many posts, but have been watching and reading this forum for over a year. I agree that everybody wishes to air their thoughts and discuss important and not so important issues, but I feel sometimes intimidated to get involved with a discussion by the bad and unnecessary verbal abuse that goes on here between certain members . Ok, we can all have a difference of opinion.... but shouldn't we learn to respect that, at the end of the day we all have the same blood running through our veins. Life is short so enjoy it.

It is a shame that new members can feel intimidated. There's really no need!

Sometimes this perception can cause new members to be defensive which can make their initial posts too aggressive. This can then causes other members to react aggressively back. Vicious circle.

I understand what you say Niki, but it's just a shame that people have to live with that large brick wall around them without a door in it.. this then prevents them from understanding others...

And dear Bill, it would be a pleasure... I've sent you a pm.

Can I just ask...How many of you would go and tell these people (Of which I am prepared to accept I am one) to their faces that you have a problem with their attitude??


The internet lets us say what we want without the fear of being physically attacked. An equal footing where muscle bound bullies cannot rule...I would be happy with that if I were you.......This can be taken even further with speaking out against governments and terrorists...

Zan, Oh yeah, do ya wana make somthing of it then?? He he... just joking. I totally agree with you that this is the safest way to discuss major issues, however, the verbal threats and personal insults are not the way to to move forward with the thought of a Cyprus solution.
