Grey nomads forum is quiet


Im noticing activity  this forum is very quiet, latest two topics, whilst good, dont relate to grey nomad travels or experiences or questions.

 

what Site or forum is generally being used out there

 

shame as I always rated highly the questions and mature responses from this forum

Because certain individuals take great delight in targeting and irritating people. The majority of people dont like that and turn away. You know who you are.

 I tend to disagree; whilst there have been some argumentative types - that can be ignored by most of us. Mind you we're all getting older and a little less tolerant of them.

We should be old enough to recognise when we are being deliberately "baited" and just ignore the poor unfortunates that have nothing else to do than antagonise.

Competing interests, travelling, illnesses, lack of new caravaning/nomad topics, etc. are all to "blame" for apparent lack of participation.

The trouble is that there is a right-wing clique who think they own the place, and who believe that their view of the world is the correct, majority view. They consider that any contrary opinion is an irritation, and anyone who expresses such an opinion is "targeting" their clique.

 The so called right wing clique on here have absolutely nothing on those in another place as you and I, well know Dorian.

Possibly YouTube has so many vids that address all DIY tasks I have needed to research that forums like this are no longer a source of solutions for many. Cheers,

Guess I can see why this forum has gone quiet overall.

Sometimes if one expresses a opinion they where they have a field of experience or knowledge, you can be almost guaranteed some nark will call it into question, doubt your comments or call you a liar or some other degrading comment.

It is almost worth unsubscribing sometimes....

Sad, sad world where one cannot have the freedom of speech and express one's own opinion.

Try being a climate scientist, ie someone with "a field of experience and knowledge", in a place full of "narks".

You also wrote:

The MCG management claim they have the best green keeper in the country is now under a cloud.

-----

You defame a good and respected man with a long career behind him but you have no supporting evidence except your opinion and then you complain when your opinion is questioned.

I'd call that arrogance.

Supporting evidence with 5 mm of grass on the SCG wicket might confirm a few things today......

Arrogance is not a crime, many elite sportspeople display a little arrogance.
To get to that level, they need a lot of self confidence and self worth.

Interesting to note, most of the comments in this thread talk about the negative people etc. but I havent seen many real constructive comments about whether people are going to other sites or use fb groups etc. so maybe the commentary in general in this thread is what we get , comments not hitting the mark and straying away from the actual subject.
And it appears to be the same people adding their 2 cents worth
