Not really. It seems like repeated attention-seeking to me. Some people bring it on themselves - it's like they can't help it.

That must be me2, !

If I ignore bullying it escalates, if I react I get zapped, I suspect I've got ZiTS [zero tolerance of idiots syndrome]. fortunately I am not a child trying to understand the unwritten rules.

Will this help?

free firewood, but ..................

No sanding before 10.30 when we have a hangover.

No running an imaginary engine at 04.30

No outdoor work in case it looks untidy.

No mooring if we don't  approve.

No actions of any sort if we don't approve.

No free firewood.

It was unspoken because I wasn't implying it. It was simply factual.

But was it relevant? Your inclusion of it would suggest so, in your eyes at least.

That is, as you imply, my decision, not yours. Don't try to pick a fight, please.

I was merely stating how I read your post, and agreeing with the other posters conclusion. I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to pick a fight but that is also your decision I suppose. ?

Impression rather than decision - and yes it is, so stop, now.

Must be hard not being able to tolerate yourself?

A couple of canal generalisations:

 

Share boaters: All the gear, not much idea.

 

Canaltime Boats: Collisions waiting to happen.

 

Discuss?

Isn't it odd that some generalisations are fine or even virtuous but others are "isms".

I think that's a bit of a generalisation

Learn how to tell people to f off darling when they come around looking through windows and also learn how to box and puch your weight in case plan A dont go down well.

If they are living nearby go and put your face up against their windows and see how they like it, living a travelling lifstyle requires a no nonsense attitude for at least fifty peercent of the time unfortunately.

Naturally some people will not like this approach and thats fine they are welcome to enjoy plan A or B or simply walk on if they are not able to be respectful of other peoples property.

I think the girl has probably had enough, I know I have.

I could hardly believe this is dragging on, so many hurtful and negative comments. 

I think it is outrageous, and really little to do with boating , a lot to do with ranting by some very unpleasant people.

Well frankly you have added nothing of any value yourself either!
