I suppose that I'm a reader and not much of a poster,better to say nothing then post on something you know nothing about. I know what your saying littlemouse but you have your own opinions so share them if you want to, people may disagree but free speech and all that! The trouble is that some people like to show aggression especially on forums and life especially in UK is full of aggression. by the way I agree 100% on lib's remarks about forums. Some people have nothing better to do than sit in front of their computers all day and haven't got a life.

I've seen forums turn into Fort Knoxes because of that... Sorry Jackie don't know where the "plotting against you" come from didn't say or even think that what I am saying is that some people especially in France (and in the winter months) have nothing better to do than sit in front of them particularly if they don't understand the French language as it substitutes for the TV

. It's often difficult to find the right words, when you are being attacked,so I try not to waste my energy explaining or disagreeing with people.Doesn't always work though
(Only modified by Admin to make the quote thingy work for LM)

Fair comment Hellfire. Too many hide behind forum identitys and say things that may / would provoke a reaction that they never dare to expose themselves to in a real life situation. I, personaly do not take offence easily, if at all; and do enjoy banter amongst people I feel I "know" enough to not warrant offence. It is still a finely drawn line though. I always object to anyone casting aspersions about individuals posted on other forums even supposedly 'jokingly' Oy Big Nose! Titter titter tee hee hee

Well I think that forums are ideal for expats during the winter months.
As for sitting in front of a screen for hours there is so much that can be learnt from the Internet, in fact I highly recommend About.com French for anyone wanting to learn the language, it is really helpful.

tinkerbell when I joined it took me a while to start to talk instead of read I think I found it a bit daunting at first. The welcome to me was very kind, I must contribute there to others, and I feel more comfortable now.

Hi - I am one of those 'vanishing people'... havent posted for ages.
To be honest it is because I heard about the group from here who were setting up their own forum which seems the same as this one - I just was worried it was going to turn into one of those silly forum wars which keep on rearing their ugly heads.
HOWEVER I just received a lovely email newsletter from this site and decided to come and have a look around again. Really pleased to see its still a lovely place to be and so I am coming back!!
