Totally agree. For new members it's akin to online stage-fright. You want to make a point/ask a question but if that's met with negativity from established members it may well be their first and last post.

I sincerely hope, G, that I've never done that to you, but please feel free to tell me if I ever do! 😉

Best wishes,

Kim

Oh no you have been nothing but gracious LOL. I have a thick skin anyway due to the Spanish sun.

In fact this is me (Gal) and my partner when I say no to cleaning the patio.

That was a brilliant film - Ben Kingsley at his best! You might want to add a health warning though, for the easily offended 😱🤣🤣🤣😉

General note re Jim's Guides. 

Jim has setup a new website on which to publish and maintain his guides in an effort to make them available to a wider audience. Alex has been asked about posting links to the site but I don't know what he's decided.

Jim's original guides are still available here, but Jim is nolonger updating them. Alex has confirmed to me that if/when these become out of date they will be discontinued. But who knows, maybe others will come forward who can keep them upto date; though I've no idea what the legal position on that might be.

Cookep1, Thanks for the update. I was awaiting for clarification (re: this forum & legal implications) 3 days ago, but obviously, Admin has not had time to respond to me.

As someone who has on occasion been on the receiving end of abusive and rude comments I applaud the actions you have taken. There have been times when I have been discouraged from taking part in discussions because of the tone of some members replies. It is sad that we have now lost a few members...

..., however, many more ( myself included) will be more confident making comments and contributions. The Forum will continue to be a great source of information and advice for all and will be a better site if we all show kindness and politeness while we have the knowledge that Alex will step in if necessary. 

Totally agree with your comments, anyone should be able to air their views without being subject to ridicule for daring to disagree.
