Heard some bad news today and it sort of puts things into perspective So sorry to learn what that news was. Sad news, indeed. Virtual friends aren't those you've met for real but a few of us are really here for you if we can help x |

Unbelievable that he could have got such an idea  Thank you - but at least there was some humour then - Ross accusing me of being the ghost of Betton Wood, I seem to remember - but never malicious? He'll be pleased to know I spent Sunday night in the wood there - but I swear I didn't howl, throw my leg over the broomstick, take off or do anything sinister! Spoilsport !😆 |

I'm trying to remember what JohnV was saying about how everyone baits The Dunk. I'm also trying to ignore, really I am  Rog I just find it easier to Spend less time here. So much anger and vitriol on this forum. Don’t understand why? Out on the water I find very few nasty characters, we have more than our share here, keyboard warrior syndrome I suppose. I don't think we have more 'nasty character' cos if u think back to times when someone here has genuine need, then I seem to recollect that just about everyone offered some form of help. I just think there are a few on here who just don't get on and their views get increasingly toxic. My gran took a dislike to someone and no matter what this person did, she viewed it negatively .. we just got so we wouldn't mention this persons name because there was just nothing u could say that she wouldn't have a toxic comment response. On here is all written so we see it. It's sad but it's life. |

I quite fancy soaring on a broomstick somewhere... |

Have you heard the popular theory of where the notion that witches fly on broomsticks came from?

So much anger and vitriol on this forum. Don’t understand why? Out on the water I find very few nasty characters, we have more than our share here, keyboard warrior syndrome I suppose. I've have noticed that there are three TB members who persistently dish out plenty of "anger and vitriol" in the direction of one other named member. It invariably takes the same form -- repeated publicly made accusations, always remaining unsubstantiated when challenged, that this other named member is a sick fantasist, in need of psychiatric help, who "cheats" and "lies" his way through his professional and personal life at every turn of events. Is this what you had in mind when you spoke of nasty characters and keyboard warrior syndrome ? |

From what I recall of Thunderboat's past, one of the first to respond when others appeared to be in difficulties, and the most generous in his offers of assistance, was usually Foxy.
Makes you wonder why so many other members directed so much hostility at him, . . doesn't it ? |

Foxy is a very kind individual, I have met him but unfortunately his on line cut and paste frenzy alienated many people I had to detach because his responses and posts became too upsetting to read, there was no let up, no moderation and it over whelmed He did not seem able to accept other peoples views. Hopefully things will settle and we can all pick up again. Time is a great healer. |

In person, I would be pleased to meet up with Foxy anytime but I found, eventually, like Patty, his posts were just too much

Inability to perceive the world from other people's point of view.
All that negative stuff about covid was very wearing. Regardless of whether it is a scam or not it had an impact on a LOT of people and is disrespectful to overload a quiet forum like this with so much input mainly consisting of other people's words.
Anyone can view any forum or media outlet they like but some people choose not to view websites they know will annoy them. Importing content from those websites onto this one is not very appropriate.
