I wonder if Daniel ever made contact with Carlt over his offer to mod a CA section? I would have expected some contact out of simple politeness, but it seems likely that none would have been made as the drawbridge has been pulled up. Nick Norman spent a lot of time trying to identify the problems and promote solutions, and was rewarded with a ban. I suspect that the view has been adopted that if you 'don't agree with me you're against me'. As to any unpleasantness and bickering, thus far I haven't seen a single spat here. And the recipes are better. Rog Maybe because we're all grown up here and don't need to go running to teacher...

I have found it very interesting reading this thread. I nailed my colours to the mast quite a while ago. I said that as far as I was concerned there was no chance I would go back to CWF as long as Denial was in charge (?) and probably not even if he and the fluffy bunny mods went. (at that time there was rumblings about possible pardons and returns to the fold under careful fluffy bunny scrutiny of course) since then of course the list of "things which must not be spoken about" has continued to grow and grow I have been interested in watching how more recent joiners, have also been finding how much better the unmoderated atmosphere is compared to CWF.I am pretty confident that this forum has established itself as a genuine friendly boaters forum that welcomes almost anyone who is interested in boats/boating/canals/rivers etc(and even puts up with fat boat owners, yoghurt pot owners and people who tow caravans ................... or gliders come to that) my bold above I couldn't agree more This site is by far friendlier, majority of members present themselves as adults, with a good sense of humor, if on occasion offense is taken it is normally followed up with an apology (unless it was intentional or deserved), and by a country mile members threat each other with respect without having to be reminded to do so by a mod. Self moderation is prolific & this site proves it can work. I can't see it attracting many "delicate tender fluffy bunnies", but IMO I'd rather be conversing with "real people" This place rocks!

Let's hope it DOES attract some fluffy bunnies. That'll brighten up the arguments a bit!
