I have to say that this sort of "banter" brings this site into disrepute. By which I mean, nasty personal attacks on members of another forum. It is one thing to criticise the content of their posts, their actions as mods etc, but when it is just personal nastiness we come across like a bunch of spotty teenage bullies ganging up on the cripple in the playground. Time to grow up! your the only one who has called Rachael a cripple, although I have often thought she might have something not quite right.

Time to grow up! I would agree as a general comment ...... but .... that particular lady poster has been fairly venomous herself on occasion. and I don't think it went too far before the chat moved on to a new subject

Time to grow up! Yes, maybe it is better if we just enjoy the company of eachother here. At least this forum has givin us the opportunity to chat without the few arses over there stirring things up for their own amusement. It is interesting that they only get away with it because there IS moderation over there. So they can light the touchpaper then run away and hide behind a mod when someone goes bang! Here on the other hand, there is nobody to hide behind. I like it here...

....... ........ and then he said ~ " I always knew you were thick." Time to grow up ? Yeabutnobutyeabutnobut he IS thick. Who else would cultivate their own poo? Anyway I am less concerned about personal insults within this forum. Which is just as well! I just find it distasteful to gang up on an outsider who isn't here to fight their own corner. It has the feel of a pack of rabid dogs about it, a pack of teenagers in a gang finding courage and faux bravery from each other to be daring enough to abuse others. Not nice. I'd rather this place was inclusive, not just a hang out for grumpy old sociopaths.

That isn't what's been happening here, . . . and I'm at a loss as to why you should think it is. If anyone should happen to feel aggrieved or offended at being on the receiving end of the sort of stuff they take a delight in dishing out themselves, there's nothing preventing them from joining this Forum and parading their more notable deficiencies to a wider audience.

I disagree. First of all they would need to be aware of the abuse being directed at them which, if they aren't a member of this forum, seems unlikely. And secondly they would need to be sufficiently robust and/or have the energy and time to come on here and defend themselves.
But anyway, you rather miss the point which is that it is not about how it makes the recipient feel (since they may not even be aware), it is how it makes the forum look to a third party outsider who might be contemplating joining.

we only have Phil's word for it, and he probably made an assumption. Phil - what proof do you have? If you are talking about Naughty-Cal's name then she posted previously on CWDF as Phylis and her real name is Rachel. I have had a pm conversation with her long ago on CWDF so can confirm that as fact. Roger no, I am talking about Phil's assumption that Rachel was not created in a test tube.

your the only one who has called Rachael a cripple, although I have often thought she might have something not quite right. I always knew you were thick. its nice of you to say Nick, I see your still hanging around this "dung heap." Ps I find it amusing you getting offended on Rachael's behalf, it's so sweet.

Well be flattered, since you are literally the primary creator of the dung heap.
Anyway I am not getting offended on Rachael's behalf, I just think it is unfortunate that a few people are happy to jeopardise the continuing growth of this forum by this sort of feral mob behaviour. In other words, as I said to TD, it is about how the forum looks to outsiders not how it may (or may not) make Rachel feel.

As I said earlier though, It was a long way from the sort of thing that happened early in the days of TB and a lot of it was repeating and pointing out where, in CWF posts, Rachael could be seen digging herself a deeper hole. I saw only a few personal comments (comparatively mild I thought considering the comments Rachael herself has made in the past) As I said there was not a lot and it was over quickly (the personal bit) As regards taking apart her posts, they were in the public domain and as such were legitimate targets.
