cry Phil. I think posts like this only keep the situation alive, ? and is NOT assisting Cindy one little bit, only reignites the memories of the past, cry I think everyone who was involved in the original '' Kerfuffle'' have moved on, Some left, Some remained in a diminished capacity, and Some remained un - effected by it all, and some new members joined, see posts like this, a wonder why ?? -- The PAST is dead and buried, ? lets leave it there, and NOT mention it anymore, that way Cindy can deal with the ''Straglers, In her own way, in her own time, and get back to having her site run the way she wants,

The less she sees posts like this, ? the less repair she has to do, -- SO if any other post are made bringing up, The Past, or Religion, or Politics, The best we can do for Cindy is to Ignore them and do not respond, ? Then in a day or two, they will move down the line and disappear

Hi Dazren,

I certainly didnt intend to reignite anything. There were a few recent posts that were asking questions re the closed (recent) posts. I believe that I acted in good faith to attempt to put a lid on it all. To some extent I agree with what you say, and thats a risk when we post stuff like this, however in the spirit of this site I still believe it is relevant to the time.

Perhaps time will tell if I have done the right thing or not. I believe Cindy will be happy to have it out in the open and reasonably discussed. Im not so naive to believe the post will last the distance to the next page without a crazy or two posting negative posts.

None the less, we are here to discuss nomad life, great places to visit and a few funny stories. From that point of view I concur with your post. However, It was put up to remind people why we are here.

Safe travels and a merry xmas.

smile Gidday Phil, Yeah mate I know you had no intention to ;Reignite'' anything, It is not in your nature, you posts are all usually very friendly, smile

I just think IF NOBODY mentions it again, Well then in a couple of weeks, ?? Nobody will know what the subject WAS !! confuse If that makes any sense to you, /?

In the meantime I also wish you and yours ? a Very Merry Xmas, and a Happy and Healthy New Year smile ,

Dougwe · Chief one feather

So what you are both saying is say nothing then....OK, I am not saying this then. Have a good one guys and all GN's.

Phil C · Guru

Im good with nothing.. seems a good way to be..

I just think IF NOBODY mentions it again, Well then in a couple of weeks, ?? Nobody will know what the subject WAS !!confuse If that makes any sense to you, /? Makes perfect sense Dazren and if this creates a problem then my most profound apologies..

Take care guys, love and peace at you all..

dazren · Guru

smile Ha, Ha, You got it Dougwe, ?? Thanks for the conversation, glad you could follow it confuse Even Phil and I had trouble following it confuse In fact, / We are hoping that Nobody else can follow it, confuse ?? Although must admit, I did say to Phil, What can we do ? to bring Dougwe into this conversation, ??

Phil, said ''Nothing'' and it worked, because here you are, smile talking about Nothing, ??? LoL biggrin

Bruce and Bev · Guru

daryl and phil - youre both right......but these posts are dying off and hopefully will soon stop. No doubt the odd one will pop up which winds most on the Forum right up, but, hey, we're nomads and we're table bangers and shouters!!

My wife cringes and disappears when we're shopping and we get bad service, because I don't put up with it anymore - I let loose and shout, rant and rave - its the only way some people get the message. Meritocracy is boring and is just not good enough - put up with it and walk away without saying anything ensures poor behaviours and attitudes thrive. And aside from which, aren't we geriatrics supposed to be old and grumpy (especially the fellas) lol.

But - getting back onto the subject (umm....what was the subject???)........these issues will just die off and we'll be back to telling all our 'vanning greats and lows, our problems and suggestions and favourite camping spots. Me......Ive got some very nice Yellow Tail Merlot and Im off to have a glass or two right now

I get really upset by people who DEMAND respect for their beliefs, political/religious /whatever, yet give no respect for anybody else's beliefs. As you say Phil, respect is earned.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Hey Phil, mate, I don't want to be in bits disbelief and I tell you that for free.

How, Uncle biggrin biggrin

Ooops, slightly "off topic". Nope, that's right, nothing was said.

I have been reading this thread for a while, generally agreeing with most, then I realised that it was all back to front.

Everyone should be treated with respect until they prove they do not deserve it.

Spot on Plendo, just like the golden rule.
