This has to be the worst reason for closing a topic - ever.

 

Are we not allowed to bore ourselves silly?

 

It seems not - personally I thought it was just getting going....biggrin.png

 

Might as well close the Unstable bar while he's on - after all where is that going...?

Pity you serial argues could have some sort of daft competition with betting , raise a bit of cash for canal restoration.

The CDWF charity space hopper race, cold baked bean eating contest using a toothpick to spear the beans, maybe even a toy chucking contest. ( space where shed loads of smilies should be)

Well there are 16045 members according to the stats. The 45 post all the time, the other 16000 only watch as they are too scared to post, so in answer to "to whom" I would say the silent 16000 plus the passing unregistered visitors.

 

Too scared to post my arse?

 

Why does this keep getting trotted out? - if somebody has something useful to say post it......

I'm not scared to post and never will be, but I do know of people who no longer post on here for reasons stated. Perhaps "scared" is an exaggeration, but I know of people who have felt intimidated over the years.

Yes but there are far more people who don't post on other canal forums because they are boring, mutual back-slapping, talking shops (well not much talking goes on there).

Then perhaps the internet is not the place for them... or at least a forum like this which is moderated with a relatively light touch.

An innocently meant smiley can get you into trouble as well rolleyes.gif

 

ETA this one is apparently a "sarky smiley" rolleyes.gif

This one can't be used by newbies, not if they're expecting any future requests for information to be answered tongue.png

 

That's just the view of one particularly sensitive individual though - I wouldn't worry too much, the rest of us are far too grown up to get upset about smileys :D
