The down side (and I believe it's a price worth paying ) is that occasionally an individual will make an unnecessary, personal, or rude comment, which causes offence to someone.

Rog It is a downside but as you say worth paying. When it does get personal here, people generally weigh in on sides about it, so if someone is off base they are usually made aware of what other posters think. On CWF because of the moderation people keep their heads down in case they get sanctioned as well. The result being that the recipient of an out of court comment are left wondering if others think the same. Here, anyone at the receiving end of something is usually made fully aware that it is not a general view and will receive support from other members. In my book much better.

I agree with both you and dogless. Sadly because of my very specific circumstances I can't cope with some personal attacks. It's time for me to move on, but I wish the forum and ALL its contributors good luck for the future.

Andy, I am sorry you feel that way, I have enjoyed very much your input .... agreeing or disagreeing. and I for one will certainly miss you. Can I suggest a short intermission might suit you rather than a full scale disappearance ? Whichever way you jump I have enjoyed meeting you even if only virtually ..... all the best John

The ability to move on when I need to is why I want a boat as my house!

See you soon Andy, you have virtual mates here.
And remember, even the occasionally insensitive arses on here, are fine for 90% of the time.
Take care my friend.

Robert mentioned this forum, maybe if he is reading this he could let us know what reason was given for his ban.

on mikes say so that he was a doppelgänger? I did drop Mike an email a couple of days ago. By mistakenly claiming I was Mr Brooks he had effectively misrepresented me on there by saying I was in the process of a dispute with CRT. I politely pointed out this was not true and that he should apologise to him for accusing him of being me. If Mike had bothered to look at the link Mr Brooks had put on CWF to an FOI he'd raised, it would have been bleeding obvious it's a real person. Mike knows my name from PM's a few years back where I invited him out for a pint. Also there are quite a few people who know me on that forum in real life. I should point out I have no beef with anyone incuding Mike, but I do get a bit pissed off with those who judge from Ivory Towers. So aplogies if I say what I think sometimes.
