Not much annoys me about the forum, with the good things vastly outweighing the bad. The only things that would make it perfect would be:

1. Posters refraining from begging on giveaway threads
2. Posters with no interest in organising events critiquing those who do
3. Posters who struggle with their use of 'lose' and 'loose'

As pedantry goes, I think mine isn't too bad and merely reflective of an increase in age-related grumpiness.

Surely it's your and you're. Drives a pedant like me batty.;)
 
My phone autocollect is the cause of most of those above I am sure.

Saw something great today in that vane:

Santas Little Helper

I needed a pen so bad that moment!
 
Only issue I've experienced has been from someone who thinks he can belittle you and hide behind his internet persona.
 
Some very funny and inspired posts on here. As someone that's been accused, along with others of being argumentative and difficult on here, I'm aware of how it can be (and I am trying to improve). However in the past the mods have intervened and warned me about the style of my posts, and issues infractions when I haven't listened. I know this is suppose to be a self-policing forum, but I do gee there could be more intervention from mods and PM's to the guilty parties, with suitable sanctions for further problems. And yes that includes for me! Meanwhile, keep the innovative lines coming

I personally dont think your even close to being in that group. At least you know when to stop

Sometimes but I've been equally guilty of overstepping the mark at times. I personally think if threads are getting ruined, it needs the forum to report it to the mods and let them take action and also the mods to be proactive if/when things are reported. However for the most part they do a decent job but some members do need to take a look at themselves and their tone of postings

Why do so many threads get ruined by the pedants? You know who you are.

Sadly this forum is going downhill with petty 'points scoring' and needless pedantic corrections.

Rant over, Merry Christmas.

Typical forum I'm afraid

It's so easy to write anything at home on your PC

There is some good info here + I really did enjoy meeting you and our round at hayling although it was terrible for me - I tend to give up reading the crappy points scoring threads

Have a good Christmas
 
If you don't like someones posts, put them on ignore. Don't stalk them and reply to every post they make, usually with a quote.

I have most of you on ignore so don't bother replying to this post.:whistle::D
