I visit 3 other caravan forums, read alot and post infrequent where I think I can add value. I have been a member of this forum from nealy the start but in the past 6/12 month it has become quite a nasty forum at times

I must say the sniping on this forum between posters is probably the worst I have come across, and in the real world would be classed as bullying in some instances.

I dont know how the site is moderated but it does seam that people can get away with alot of atacking and post drift because of these personal atacks and sniping. It also will put alot of people from posting for fear of getting the same treatment off the same people.

I read through posts and if I am interested or have something to contribute I will - if I am not interested I move on.   There are many topics I like reading the banter between people but would be fearful of commenting as can be daunting.   We are our own person if you dont like what you read move on and leave them to it.   I am sure it is all good banter and said tongue in cheek.  However I do believe some people start a topic and comment just to cause trouble.

I always think some members need to get out more which then might improve their contributions

It so easy to ignore the dark side of forums, on this one it is the personal insults against an individual which appears to be the only reason that the little gang of the" Usual Suspects" post.

But there are good people on here who enjoy posting their opinions and expect others might not support those opinions but accept that we are all different and respect everybodys right to post honest opinions.

So my advice is , just ignore the "Usual Suspects" gang and enjoy the forum.  ----- I do.

K,  I probably think of the, as you put it,  'the usual suspects' as a totally different group of people than you do, so you may have to be more explicit
