Hi Phil

I've just tried to PM you but I got a message saying that you couldn't receive PMs so this is what I said in my PM - I would have preferred not to post it publicly but I can't contact you otherwise

Hi Phil

I've decided to leave the forum, please could you delete my account.

There's some really great members and I've had alot of help from some people already in the short time I've been a member but over the past week or so I've had some not so pleasant exchanges with a couple of people and so I have decided that I don't wish to put myself in that position again, and as I don't know who they are I don't want to risk bumping into them at a meet.

Keep up the good work, I think on the whole this is a great forum. For me, it was just spoiled by a small number of members.

Cheers

wvw, i think you should consider reconsidering. i felt like this not long after i'd joined because of the rowing and sniping,but decided that with a bit of help from phil and the other members it kind of self regulated,so here i still am.
 
you beat me to it *****

sorry to hear you feel that way about the forum and getting upset surely it will settle down dont know what has upset you
 
We would certainly prefer you to stay, but I understand your concerns.

Trolling by any other name is a nasty occupation carried out on all forums by a minority of members.

Winding people up, arguing for the sake of it or simply making snide remarks can be upsetting for those on the receiving end.

Whats the matter, aint you got no sense of humour? I was only avin a larf. We live in a free Country so I will say what I want.

Is the usual mantra of these social inadequates.

If anybody saw the tv program the other night on the subject then you realise the fine line forum administrators have to tread to stop this behaviour.

Before anybody accuses me of going over the top on this subject, just think how many members have left because of it.

Dezi :pc:
 
Don't go Jess
i was reading the thread and know who and what upset you, but you are hardy enough to take it,, think again,, will miss your banter about yourself and R T P if you go

WVW, I too have been tempted to leave, but I felt that I am better than these minority.

Sadly, wherever you go there will always be those who try to spout on whatever their pet subject is. Usually it's just to upset someone.

Be strong and rise above them, as several of us have. You can choose to ignore these cretins. If no one argues with them, they will decline, with a little bit of help from Phil.

You seem a strong woman in many other ways and part of this forum is helping others. Not everyone will agree with everything I say, but Hey Ho, life is too short. A lot of these people must have very few friends.

If you do go, I for one will be sad to see you go, but the choice is yours alone, but please reconsider, after all it means that these numpties will have won.

Hi Whitevanwoman

Every time one of the nicer people leaves the percentage of prats increases so please don't let your side down.
You can always take a short brake or just ignore the ones you do not get on with.

Hi Wvw, I just saw your post about leaving, I hope that you will reconsider as I for one will miss your posts. I realise that there are people on here who seem to just want to have a go at people, you only have to look at how Cool Jules was treated, he may have been wrong but he did'nt deserve what was thrown at him! (I digress).
Anyway what I wanted to say is that there are some nice people on here with lots of good advice who will give you support when your working on your Transit, for that alone I think that it would be worth staying. If you decide to go then good luck in your new career as a trainer.
 
The problem is that all forums encourage the odd keyboard warrier. I wouldnt worry about bumping into any off them in real life as they will probably be all smiles and appologies. Its the same in cars. How many times do you see people shouting, swearing and flicking the V's from their cars at other drivers yet if they bumped into them in the street they would be "oh sorry, my fault tee hee!".

Some people need an outlet in life to vent their spleen and a forum can often be a good way for them to do it. I am on two other motorhome forums as well as this one and they are all the same. Most people are ok but you get the odd tool. Just dont rise to it. I dont think I like the ignore button idea. How the hell would you know what they were saying about you?

Lifes too short to get upset about some clever dick hiding behind a keyboard. I havent seen the thread in question by the way so I am not taking sides.
 
Whitevanwoman, what a shame your leaving, I've not been here long myself but find it ever more increasing on forums generally that the good people get made to feel unwelcome by the few idiots that hide behind their annomous keyboards. I hope you will reconsider, but wish you well wherever you find yourself :wave:

While I understand your concerns Jess....I wouldn't worry much about running into someone who you disagreed with at a meet...there are plenty of us whom you didn't fall out with to look out for you and make sure nothing unpleasant comes of it.....and I really doubt it would even happen...as I'd imagine they wouldn't bring it up for fear of being sidelined by the rest of us.

As for their messages...just block them using the ignore function and everything they post will just.....disappear from your view.:D
 
I don't want you to leave, or you Bigpeetee, I like you both although I have yet to meet you. I hope you will change your mind. It is the people who upset you that should go. And I am unanimous in that. :idea: If you let Ruber Tramp and me know who they are we will :hammer: them for you then take you out for a :cheers: or three to cheer you up. XX
 
plus if you don't show at stonehenge with your wiring bits you won't get your relay sorted .

Yes, that upset me, as does WVW's recent problem. Here's hoping you stick around and see if things change (I'd like to see Cooljules back as well).
 
To be honest , i'd thought about leaving too but for a different reason . Being a member of the other motorhome forum as well as this one i tried to choose which forum offered me what i was looking for and after much thought and head scratching i found that this forum is by far the better one , more friendly by far and certainly more fun . I look forward to logging on and having a read , and piping up if i feel i've got something to say . It must be a thankless task to keep everything running the way it should and stop unwelcome behavior when it occurs and Phil does a great job . Nevertheless things will occur from time to time and as a community we must stick together to support each other when needed .
Maybe a PM to a friend , or a contact you feel is on the same wavelength as you may help and give the support needed when you feel you've been wronged by another member of the forum !


Now i'll get off my soapbox :bow:
 
Don,t leave enjoy reading your views on things any problems and Phil will sort them out .
