What do you think drives people off this site?

Or scares newbies away?

In fairness, we do often go off the original thread!.........suppose that can be offputting for new users, but that's the nature of Chatterbank, you do get used to it in time!........

I did leave out the mushy peas mike, but I see craft added that so the secret is completely out. The earrings rule sounds interesting. I hadn't read down as far as that. (looks round thoughtfully) I like wearing earrings.

Shut it ... ^^

Yes pinki, but as you said, at first it seems very offputting and unwelcoming, I felt the same way!...............

Thank you NOX. Oh dear! What you are saying seems about right for the sort of nonsense I might post!

You obviously mean the thread yesterday or the day before about a girlfriend at a party. I did say some things there about love - and I now wonder who the hell I am to speak about that! I won't give any details of course. If you found what I said was rude then I have no problem apologising to you. As I've said before, I must try to read threads and my posts before I reply or hit the submit button.

You can take it as something quintessential etc! I'm a complicated character and I puzzle myself sometimes. All the best NOX. Hope to speak soon.

Not a problem Andy I'm well known for mouthing off before I engage my brain quite often, so no problem at all, I think it's something common to most people:)

I do really think that it's much more friendly on here now than it was a few months ago!.......seems very much more friendly, not nearly so much sarcasm!...........thankfully!..........

The general Daily Mail inspired whingy intolerance and anger-seeking nature of a few posters possibly.
