Are you going to explain ... presume your point is important to you as you've made it twice. Rog Very roughly/quickly as off out. Johnv stated new posters should be given the benefit of doubt until we/them got used to each other, then goes on the attack towards the next new poster just because he doesn't like the tone of his/her first post.
ps. I have no knowledge of who the new posters are other than saying they are not my sock puppets.

We're all free here to respond how we like ... that's why it's a great place. Our naughtyfox absolutely wipes me out with a lot of his bigotted stuff ... but he's free to post it and we're free to say we don't like it too. I don't see it as hypocracy to speak your mind in response to any post. But hostility to newbies right off the bat seems a bit too harsh to me ... give them chance to earn it at least. But I'm only passing time sat writing this ... it's of no consequence. Rog naughtyfox 's photos are usually pretty good (but not of his dinner)

What happened to the old practice of welcoming new members here, and then responding to how they post ? The forum lately seems to be in a constant witch hunt, racing to be first to 'out' imagined sock puppets. There will be individuals who employ sock puppets and are intent on mischief ... there always has been. But surely they 'win' if we react in this negative way. Rog Oh.... dogless has found a wooden spoon! Horrible, nasty negative stirring. Just.... why?

Are you done ... feel better now ?
Just asking a question ... as always the answers can be informative.

Oh well I couldn't resist this one of my mum's vinyls we used to listen to as children. Do you mean your mum used to have this on a record? Yes we listened to it regularly when we were kids. She didn't sing it

Rog (the only reason I was suspicious of Bell Bottoms was because of Ross pointing out that the boat she used as an avatar couldn't be hers) At present there has been no explanation as to why 'she' used a photo of Weyward Lass - coincidentally a boat that we had been leap-frogging. Coincidentally she used the name Bell Bottoms on a thread previously inhabited by Bell End. I think I shall announce a flounce. Everyone will cheer! And then everyone will welcome new member Bell Fox.

It's mildly irritating when mischief makers turn up with the apparent aim of causing disruption See post #1

Does it matter if someone joins using a pseudonym ? I'm guessing here that your name's not naughtyfox . Surely we don't have to judge their worthiness ... just respond or not. Rog

Well, I'm glad someone appreciates them. Will put our trip pics up starting, say, next weekend. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. John also tends to look through them. Kris thinks they're shit, Jenlyn says they lack "depth of field" - so I obviously still have a long way to go. (I enjoy looking out for pics with the intention of posting/putting the links to albums here, it's one thing I can get right, and the pics do concern boating/the waterways).

Don’t nearly all of us use pseudonyms? But that is not the same as an extant member creating a new pseudonym with the intention to deceive. I don’t think that is a very nice thing to do.

Rog which is what I did Rog ......one post was enough evidence for me to decide, I would have looked askance at anyone who had posted that ...... but a new poster ....Nah !!! ....... normally it takes a few, occasionally it takes many posts before their true face appears (as was the case of a certain person who still has not apologised to Trina)

pseudonym with the intention to deceive. I don’t think that is a very nice thing to do. Totally out of order and should be subjected to immediate censure.
