A request for friendly discussion

Yes, I'm with you on this, K.

I'd love to think we could have a CT where folk could post without thinking they might be ridiculed with expressions like loony left, bleeding hearts, tree/bunny huggers, sensitive flowers etc.

Where folk who simply follow club rules aren't accused of being pitch squatters or the something for nothing brigade.

Where folk aren't lumped together as the usual suspects or the famous five because they share a view different to another member.

Where inappropriate threads on subjects like child abuse aren't introduced and then trivialised by the use of expressions like kiddie fiddlers.

Where wardens don't have their word doubted because they state something which doesn't suit an individual's take on that subject.

And on a more personal level, where no member of any profession had to put up with frequent irrational criticism from others who clearly know little about what their work involves! 

I just hope that any member who might have done any of the above reads this thread and feels suitably chastised and then doesn't repeat it.

Wouldn't that make CT a much more pleasant place!

Yes M , if the small number of 5 or six people whose Group names are now not allowed were to cease their group attack activities on individual members who have a different view to the group and put a  stop their expressions you have described in your post this would be a great advantage.

The reason for this thread is to look forward to a nicer forum, not to continue age old opinions and prejudices..   Its the future which is important both to existing and new members.

We need everyone to consider what they post so that this can be a comfortable and happy forum. 

So here's to happy future folks. - Lets make it happen. The future is what it's all about.

Yes, K, let's hope anyone who has engaged in any of the activities I mentioned feels suitably chastened and let's all hope for a more harmonious future and a new, improved (in all ways!) CT!

A very positive thread - Thanks.

The future is beginning to look much brighter,  this thread is an indication of those of us who want to see a happy and welcoming forum.  ( Just a few expected  negative posts from the usual small group )  but they are best ignored. 

Lets make this forum a great place to post again.

It is quite esy to get a friendly forum, just get CC to shut it down for a week, no posts = no unfriendly comments....

wow, im glad i rarely venture into the 'social' section (seems rather a misnomer after K's observations....) of CT if all the above 'activities' take place.....

things seem far more friendly in the sections i visit

I think it is now a better place as much of the above has recently disappeared. Where it does occasionally raise its ugly head we now know it can be put down to ignorance or just menace. Unfortunately there are always a few in life who wish to be be antisocial but we can't let  them spoil it for the rest of us. There are also those who have seen the error of their ways and they now deserve respect.
