Will Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Please bring it back - although the original question was a bit daft it caused some good discussion as well as going off on a couple of good-humoured and witty tangents. Don't let a couple of individuals mess up the forum for the other however many thousands there are of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 [quote user="verviale"]Miki, dare I say, I think your last post on the thread was the final nail in the coffin.[/quote]You've whetted (did I spell that right?) my appetite now. Can we see that one in isolation and then have a vote?It's so frustrating to follow an interesting, contentious, but ultimately fruitless spat (Miki's word) over a few days and then when the fur really starts to fly, to see (or rather, not see) it zapped. Very stupid of me to be doing other things during the day.p.s. For what it's worth, my opinion on the whole thing is that there wasn't actually much difference between 'both sides' when you picked out the salient (rather than the emotional) bits from the various posts. There was just no 'meeting of minds'. I suspect that many (incl me) didn't contribute because there were so many verbal missiles flying around and that's the problem when threads like that (nothing against the OP) deteriorate: everyone feels as though they have to have the last word.

verviale Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 My post got deleted last tuesday,but to be fair it was off topic, it was all getting a bit serious for my liking and I told someone to lighten up, but , as much as James must get that Monday morning feeling when he logs on, it does keep him in a job and he seems a real cool guy.

[/quote]Whizzer,/Miki are you saying you were out of order, or are you talking about a different post made by someone else, a few posts earlier?[:D][/quote]No Tresco, I am saying that the one from a Mod was out of order and the reply to another member, as you say was a very polite request. I think that may have been the last one ? Or was there more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have pm'd several members as the last post on this thread was made by me as far as I could see. No one seems to want to answer my questions. Should I just not bother on here any more, or have I lost the plot. I'm a big girl, ok not that big, but I can take it on the chin.Ta Dotty.

LanguedocGal2 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I was going to suggest the culprit poster buys prezzies for everyone but then remembered posting some rubbish this morning whilst rather blurry eyed, so bad punishment idea … Though I had my eye on a shiny number in next weeks soldes.Dotty, if you think you are the guilty one, I'll send you a pix of the shiny number if you like![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 [quote user="verviale"][quote user="Just Katie "] Sorry guys, I hope I don't upset anyone here but over the last few weeks, I could not be bothered to visit because of the endless photos of dogs and ducatis. OK, it pleases some people but hasnt really got that much to do with France, then a topic comes up that is more in line with this forum and although I admit I did not see all the thread, it gets taken off.I agree with Tresco that the mods should go to sifting school (proud you remembered that one Tresc[:D])[/quote]Just Katie,don,t visit the photographic section,I adore animals and have paticularly enjoyed seeing the photos but it is not everyones cup of tea,you could say the food section is not paticularly french when people are asking where to get suet which is virtually unknown in the french kitchen, you just have to participate in what interests you, but I do not think anyone would bother with the forum if they had no connections with France.I wish it had been around fifteen years ago, I so struggled to get info, we did not even have an english translator at our signing, how things have moved on.[/quote]Yes Verviale, that is my exact point.

Just Katie Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Twinkle, I have just told Verviale, "That is my point" God what do I have to do around here to make myself understood? I am sitting here ripping my hair out honest to god I am.Let me make myself clear, there are many things on this forum that has nothing to do with France. This thread HAD something to do with France and it all got pulled instead of sifted.Twinkle, could you explain how I have been trying to one up on the mods please? I think I have always been very respectful to them and if any of them disagree, I would appreciate it if they would let me know by pm.Right, what have you been taking photos of today?
