But here I am😄
Other forums seem to be full of Trolls, sex and celebratories so I hope for better things here

My staying power is not great but I shall at least try and stick with this for s while

Hopefully find some new and interesting people to exchange ideas with

So here we go!🙄

Welcome Phil.

There must be Trolls and Wums on every forum, we certainly have them here and all you have to do is ignore them. Simple as that. Why make life any more complicated than it is, by engaging with them ?

If everybody adopted my attitude then, hopefully, they would realise that nobody wanted to play with them and start to grow up a bit

I second that Phil, I always ignore and don't let them get to me.

I always try my hardest not to get into any arguments on the forum, I normally stay clear.

Yep me too, unless it's about something of particular interest and I feel my point of view has not been covered.

If someone starts sniping at me, I might reply and then leave them to 'stew'. No point wasting energy is there
