Hello Fr Jamie

I was going to keep out of this "discussion" but I have to agree with the points you raise. When posting on this site we have to remember that it isn't only the people living in Whaley Bridge who are able to read the posts - that's what the World Wide Web is all about !! (And, of course, I do not live in Whaley Bridge !)

SNOOPY, you may feel you have issues with postings on this site but I think you need to remember that without these postings the forum would be DEAD.

You intimate that contributors have more than one username - I doubt this very much after the last "altercation" when the moderators highlighted the postings under duplicate usernames. (As Cllr. Jon said the mods have access to the IP addresses from where the postings are made, so having dual usernames is a little pointless ).  Feel free to report to the mods those people you believe are using multiple usernames and I am sure they will do the decent thing.

If you have problems with the points of view expressed on this forum, would it not be better to put your point of view forward instead of just ranting about individuals who have posted.

Don't make personal criticisms - make constructive contributions to the forum - it is usually known as DEBATE - and of course, not every country is afforded this luxury. I am sorry you are not happy with the way the forum is going but please don't make your criticisms personal, just be happy that people bother to post at all.

Best wishes

Gnats

As usual my post has been ignored, I still don't know

On the 5th October 2009 at 22.51pm you said the second part of Dora's contribution is off topic, can mods please split the post and start a new tread or remove it.  ( Your Words Mr Snoopy ).

has to do with it. They were my words yes I agree but AGAIN I say what is it to do with this subject?

I know of 2 posts that have been deleted in the past week, as usual no explanation, does this remind you of China? They were not important but it would be common manners to explain.

By the way IP addresses that use wireless conections (not internal wireless to a router) but dongles usually from laptops do not have the same address, I know cos mine is so don't believe that every person has the same address, more on that later.

Some admission of censorship. How about stating why G. Jackson and my posts was removed last week?  

Also this was said earlier

This website is seen by lots of people who don't  always live in Whaley Bridge, but are perhaps looking at starting a business here, or moving here.

( Not forgetting that some of our younger generation see this Web Site in  their Schools ).

Then without being a prude why has the photograph called "Snow couple" been allowed to stay, or is there rules for some and rules for others? It would be nice to have an equal level of censorship.

Can you tell me the individuals I am ranting about and how I have made it personal?

Interesting to see if it is removed now somone else has requested it.

Still waiting for my questions to be answered before I answer the questions levelled at me. This could take a bit so don't watch this space.

In answer to your posting no.23:

"By the way IP addresses that use wireless conections (not internal wireless to a router) but dongles usually from laptops do not have the same address, I know cos mine is so don't believe that every person has the same address, more on that later."

You obviously know more than me so what's to say that you don't have more than one identity - we wouldn't know then would we ?  You have referred to people posting on this web as liars and, by not naming those people, you have labelled ALL posters as liars (thus making it personal).  I have only one identity and I am not a LIAR.

We are a small group and you have included everyone one of us in your accusation.

I'm sorry Snoopy, but while you are obviously entitled to have your say, your method of going about it is unhelpful to the forum. If you feel so strongly about postings on the site, then complain to the moderators. If you want to involve yourself in a discussion then perhaps you shoud be a little less confrontational.

I will not be posting on this subject again - I've better things to do with my time.

Best wishes

No problem there Fedup. I usually edit my posts to remove as many spelling mistakes as I can find!!

It's the censorship I don't like.

Internet tip or whatever. If you use internet explorer (i.e. Microsoft) and you want smaller or bigger letters:-

Press Ctrl key (bottom left) and + or - (top row after 0) to make words etc bigger/smaller etc.

  If the message that RSS was as dreadful as you've made out then by all means use your 'power' to have the offending material removed, however would it not be more suitable to send a private message to RSS to explain why you have taken such action.

By making a public declaration like you have done puts him in bad light ( and as the offending material has been removed we can't judge whether thats justifiable or not).  Don't think that this is suitable behaviour for a councillor but no doubt you can have this post removed and make a comment about me being out of order for citing such opinions.
