Her boat is moored right where she says it was for winter moorings in the thread (although I haven't managed to wade through all of the thread having not been aware of it before). As I walked down the towpath from my house en-route to another part of town this afternoon I spotted it and can confirm that it is there still with the mushrooms blanked off. Roger

Before I fell out with CW, after falling foul of Daniel's sense of humour extraction, I had read the Miss Max thread.
I thought she had a refreshing and unorthodox sense of humour, and enjoyed her posts.
It did cross my mind that she was very (too?) open, and that it was not going to end well.
The abstract nature of this method of communication can lead one to forget that the correspondent is a 'living, breathing, sentient being'. Perhaps it can be a mistake to be over familiar.
It may be irrelevant, but I believe that participants not acting anonymously, helps to minimise the risk.

I went to visit Max when she was getting emails from CRT about not moving we went up to the next locks she worked us through the locks and then we went back to this side of Skipton. I bled the heating system [full of air] and we achieved warm rads but couldnt get hot water. I topped up the header tanks on both the engine and the heating system [the engine to cauliflower pipework is a right buggers muddle with gate valves and all sorts or rubbish in it] Even though we were on the go for 3 hours couldnt get hot water to the cauliflower. I did advise her to get a winter mooring from CRT and told her she can claim for this on benifits which she has done. Max is a lovely lady she even offered to paint my boat with blacking as well!!! I know she lost her phone and sim card for a while so we didnt talk for ages. if you read through the thread she says we had a great day out and she learned enough to go cruising on her own without fear of bridges, locks or other boats coming the other way! I would have gone to see her again with Jayne my other half but she couldnt tell me where she was so we havent met since. The boat was overpriced and she has since realised this I did say to her to be careful as she is a very open and trusting lady. I have tried to contact her before she had the meltdown but had no reply so clearly she is annoyed with me as well why I have no idea? She did say this :- "One ended up making damn sure my heating stopped working (how the fu@@ diddid they manage that)"Maybe she thinks you are responsible??? I dont know Martin when I left it was working up until that point it had been boiling over every time she lit the fire, and the rads whilst not hot were warm. the problem was that its a gravity system the stove is in the bow and the rads and cauliflower all downhill from there!! plus its 28mm pipe at the stove taken down to 22mm which is never good. She did post that it was working so I will just have to live with it wont I

Do we know who tried it on with her yet? We know it wasn't our peter off here, narrows it down to 4 possibles.

A pox on all of you! Now you've got my curiosity up and I'll probably spend half the day reading the whole thread on cwf.

Not searching through her thread but there were a couple of posts that made me feel uncomfortable and then there were posts about her mental health, suggesting she was suffering from depression. If it had been me I too would have been pissed off. Phil

I got to page four and couldn't take any more. What a bunch of twaddle! What really surprised me was how often posters invoked the word "mods" in one way or another, as if the mods were the most important people on the board. At least I now know that my decision to completely ignore cwdf was a good one.

Decided to read it through to the bitter end. Burning bridges have got nothing on her.
Thats what I call a flounce.
Just goes to show, offer to help at your peril.

Perhaps MissMax should be encouraged to join Thunderboat. (edited - nod to a Thunderboat member) I messaged her telling her about this forum, she hasn't responded yet but she does know it exists and I hope that if she joins she will get a warm welcome. I like her brand of humour and think she is doing really well with her new lifestyle. At least here you just get given advice and are then left alone to choose what to listen to/follow without being harrassed.

Eccentrics, seismic mods, oddballs, fluffy bunnies and a weak owner does not bode well for a forum. Cwdf has become a "nest" for these people. The problem is further aggravated by the fact that they have a place to post such shit. Just reading the thread could lead to depression, it should be signed as such. (I did like juniors snipe at the mods).
