The bits in bold come on now Cherie - the only explanation I can think of there is that you've not logged on before they're deleted? I can't even engage thoughtfully with a thread these days without a snarky "Oh here comes Mr Know it all" from one of TiBB's saddest power couple.

It's never happened.

So I engage with what we have, at the level we have it, as we all do.

I can't really even bit in bold this as a reply/ It's just the whole reply Cherie. I'm not saying I engage properly on this forum - I'm quite clearly saying that IF TiBB ever decides it wants to properly create a section where that's the rules/etiquette then I'd happily engage with it and stick to that, but it's not what we've got, and I'm not here to set an example. We have a forum full of people trolling and playing dumb 3/4 of the time. That's just me calling it as I see it. Why would I not respond in kind, when the staff have no intention of stopping any of that? I've tried multiple times to engage the staff on the trolling, gaslightling and nonsense rightwing propaganda that's completely infested this forum but James has made it abundantly clear that he's not interested. Show me a good forum or even a good thread and I'll engage with it like it's a good thread, show me trash and I'll fire back some trash.

And where exactly did I (of all people) play dumb to the extent that you had to remind me you’re not a primary-school teacher?

Yeah I get that but it still does not have to involve personal comments about members, their relationships, or how they use their personal downtime

I dont know who TiBBs power couple are ...is it Neem and MTVN...that would make sense

Fair - but I'd challenge you to name someone that I've "gotten personal" with who didn't go there first.

"How they use their personal downtime" might need more explanation; I think it's OK to have thoughts and opinions on certain recreational activities without it being off-limits because someone might be offended. I'm not sure how some discussions would be able to happen if that was totally off the table. I have some specific examples in mind here but you might be referring to something else.
