Shame really, a few people spoil it. TB is what it is. It has showed how a forum can run without moderation. A credit to all of us really that we don't need to be treated like children.

Shame really, a few people spoil it. I'm put in mind of Carlt reading this. He was a brilliant forum debater who researched his responses or responded based on his own actual knowledge. As a result he attracted a lot of personal abuse simply because some people couldn't construct a coherent and equally well reasoned response to any points he made. It's not really a surprise he didn't post for very long on here. I never subscribed to his political beliefs and never will but he portrayed them very articulateley and without insulting anyone.

Latterly yes, after he had been very ill. But before that he was pretty good at insulting people! But as you say, very articulate. However ultimately his flaw was that he just wanted to argue for the sake of it. Sometimes it's nice to agree!

Yea, 2 or 3 years ago, he was away from the forum for quite a while. Not sure what was wrong but he came back a different chap, so it must have been life-changing (or life-threatening). edit: probably 4 or 5 years ago, I'm getting old!

Mind you, just tried to check that by looking at his posting history and I can't find a gap, so perhaps I'm thinking of someone else, it's amazing how certain a false memory can be!

He was a good debater ..... yes ..... and he was as you say good at insulting people ......Yes .... However I (maybe not latterly but originally) thought him an internet bully ..... he was also very good at dishing the dirt but not very hot at taking it.

Shame really, a few people spoil it. nick you slag off this forum and its members so often, I'm just really intrigued why you bother posting on here, if this is really what you think surely cwdf would be better suited to you.

It's probably healthy to be a bit silly sometimes to take the pressure of being serious and sensible, like a fuse that doesn't actually blow but just let's the surplus out. I notice on Canalworld there are/have been many with 'mental issues', less so on TB. TB certainly has been more humorous than Canalworld - but then there are also lots of serious, informed and intelligent posts (mine mostly!).

Shame really No - who wants 'em? They have had long enough to decide whether to join TB and join in. New members can come in from anywhere around the world. A bit of advertising is all that's needed. I'll see if I can find some corner shops in Carlisle today to stick some ads up in. I've had a look at the Virtual Pub now and then 'over there' and it's all dried up. Like the Black Bull turned into the Salvation Army tea-and-cake or Death café. 105 Canalworld members like this.

You are right, but I was thinking more of the name calling , biting, scratching, hair pulling, squabbling some engage in.
