Never flounced in my life, blimey, don't even know where the ignore button is or what it is for!!! If someone upsets me on here, I just curse them under my breath, pop my trusty helmet on, flick them off my shoulder and get on with it.

I'm no forum expert, but just from reading posts on this forum over the last years, it's quite obvious that many posters either know each other from elsewhere, or have met up with other forum users. This, I think, gives them a common bond, knowing that they can always count on support from their friends, which is only to be expected.

At the end of the day it's an internet forum, different types of people, some are patronised, some are ignored, some are insulted, some want to be in with the "in crowd", some don't, for some it's a lifeline of communication with others, some are "always right", some are "always wrong", some have more time than others, some don't. Nobody is held at gun point to be here.

At the end of the day it's a forum, no discussion on here is going to change the world or the people in it. It could however change the life of someone who joins the forum only to be put down at every turn, not everyone is emotionally strong.

I do agree with Floydy though. I often read posts and wonder if they are actually written by an adult. Perhaps people have the same view on my posts, I don't know, it doesn't really matter, I'm sure I'd get over it. So just for fun, here is a "funny" article.

Good post Loretta

We disagree on the subject of leaving the EU but I think manage to do so in an adult way.

Excellent post !

Word lady here just wants to say that originally a flounce was a sudden fling or jerk of the body or a limb, or a flopping movement. It moved on to mean a quick movement of the body that expressed disdain or impatience.
So....who really wants to admit to flouncing!

That's why I left a previous forum - too many trolls and people with 50,000 posts in a couple of years seeming to believe that the forum was their own property.

Excellent post! as have many of the replies, sorry if I was a bit defensive yesterday



Imagine that 50,000 posts did you ever flounce from that forum though?

As for the Dweeb name it was a bit random as my registration with my real name failed and I did not get the email back, my name is Colin, not Dave and yes I am from the UK

We(myself and a few others)moved here from a well known DIY site.

Unfortunately it was full of hairy a**ed builders with attitude....now they have 5 less hairy a**ed builders with attitude

this is a great site
