johnv - I don't understand why you can't read the 6 pages of 'A wee flounce'. Last post 1:59pm today. Yep, and it's.... LOCKED! There are some excellent comments on it, NickNorman shining brightly amongst them. Just go to Canalworld's Virtual Pub and it's all there. At least, to me, the new mod Magpie Patrick seems a sane one. I've got a lot of time for Magpie P. Always struck me as a nice solid type with a well balanced view of life. My biggest surprise was him actually taking on the job. I wonder how he copes with the strictures from the top

As the naughtyfox says above, there is the members lounge. Although someone could lend Delta an ' and an e Fixed. My only defence is that I was drunk when I created that board...

Just by way of illustrating how petty-minded and silly everything has become on CWDF, here is the e-mail exchange that got me consigned to oblivion after 2 days of having every single post I made either taken down or blocked :-
Tony Dunkley, on 05 Oct 2016 - 11:03 AM, said: From where I'm standing, the "ethos of the Site" appears to amount to assisting C&RT in suppressing exposure of their wrongdoings and dishonesty. _____________________________________________________________________
Tony, I am going to stop you right there, because I don't think the above comment is at all fair to myself or the site staff, we work hard to act as fairly as we can, and to ensure the site is run in a sustainable and ethical fashion. We are independent of canal and waterways organisations. As a significant online forum site, we have a duty to ensure that individuals, businesses and organisations are not unfairly represented in the public domain, which we must balance with our desire to offer an open platform for discussion which as I am sure you will appreciate is not always an easy balance to take. However when we are working hard to allow you and others to discuss this issue, suggesting that we are acting to assist one side rather than the other is inappropriate, unfair, and if I am honest down right rude to a point where it is not acceptable.
Daniel Site Owner
_______________________________________________________________________
If you are as independent and fair as you claim, then why are you actively trying to prevent highly suspect, embarrassing and damaging C&RT generated paperwork from being published, not only with the approval of, but at the express request of the recipient, whose contact details you have been supplied with, but have declined to contact ? The content and tone of your message is reminiscent of the sort of response one would normally expect to see from a self-indulgent organization run by small minded, petulant and vindictive people who, believing themselves to be beyond reproach, invariably overreact to criticism. Is CWDF such an organization, and has it not occurred to you and your so-called Moderators to consider the possibility that you could be well advised to stop addressing and treating members as if they were dealing with a lot of ill-behaved school children. ?
Tony Dunkley.

In a nutshell Mike TB called Betty Boo 'petulant' for her original post in the thread, I pointed out personal attacks were no longer allowed on CWDF and asked him if one rule applied to one and another applied to everybody else. BillS made a similar comment etc etc.. i also pointed out that BB seemingly couldn't win because last time she stopped posting some people started getting anxious about her welfare and this time she decides to let people know and gets called 'petulant'.

Just found this place today after a couple of searches after the recent shenanigans on CWDF and am relieved to have found the continuing Canning Dock saga. With regard to Graham Davis I totally agree.... A totally sanctimonious arse in my book!
