Look at the stats. It's not the majority.

Twas me that used it, they are so small I cannot even see what they are, I hovered the mouse over them and that one said ROFL, I dont know what that means but it made me laugh Seriously though the choice of smileys is abysmal, no embarrassed red cheeks, no thumbs up, no light bulb (moment), well they might all be there if I could actually see them Maybe things will improve after the cataract op in 3 weeks, if it goes wrong emoticons will be the least of my problems. Fear is the key. I know that. Best wishes to pcpa for a successful outcome. All one has to do is believe.

Would it be possible to know which posts were actually insults. I have to admit I may well have missed them but are we to see any complaint, even one complaint be enough to declare a post insulting and therefore posts be deleted? On here I often see ex PM Johnson being heavily insulted and those insults stay on, if I were to be a dyed in the wool blue Tory, could I ask for those posts to be deleted also? I hate the word "snowflakes" but is this what is known as acting like them? I sincerely hope not, we are after all adults I believe. Ex PM Johnson is in the public domain and is not a member of this Forum ..
The removed personal insults on here were aimed at a Forum member so, as they did not comply with the Forum rules, they were edited out.

On here I often see ex PM Johnson being heavily insulted and those insults stay on I frequently see 52% of the voting population called dimwitted knuckle dragging racists and often worse. If peoples feelings really are that strong 6 years after the event how do they cope or behave in company believing that of a good proportion of the people around them? I'm guessing that even after 6 years Brexit still hurts, and to see someone coming on to defend the Leavers just riles emotions. Maybe just trolls, or maybe even worse.

It used to be known as joshing….🤷♀️🤷♀️ As you say, Jackie, joshing or banter, still as common today as yesterday. Surely we can't just be seen as a sterile body where one complaint is seen as reason enough to delete posts. I am all for Moderators but moderation when called for?

Yes I see that but someone might be offended by such offensive language aimed at their beloved Johnson. Anyway, moving on who was it and what was their insult and let's see of one of us can beat it !!

Just remember spats happen but dont add anything to forums, the moderators are not paid and without them there is no forum. French forums have gone very quiet just let it go this forum cannot afford to lose more members.

Would it be possible for one of the Mods to have a word about this endless bitching and bickering amongst the Brittany contingent on here, please? Whatever went (or goes) on on their local forums, it should stay there. Is it possible to join the Brittany 'contingent' or mafia ? Is there an application form and do I have to move there......

You can but there’s a very tough initiation rite involving galette saucisse……

I hadn’t realised saying that someone lives in Selby or joking about not cleaning their windows when they have admiited as such in the past could be construed as personal insults…..
