Villas, and I have been equally uncomfortable with your pot stirring.

Angebadge. & again with respect. I do feel  uncomfortable with your comments & insinuations. Please refrain. I wish only to partake in this or other sites without personal abuse to others or to me. This is not a witch-hunt forum.

Villas

I agree Villas, this is not a witch hunt Forum and everyone is free to choose if they want to be on this Forum or the other one or both, I personally have no interest in going to the other Forum. One thing that cannot be disputed is that this Forum has moved forward remarkably well since certain members were banned and the degree of abuse and rudeness has noticeably decreased.

I can honestly have never been abused on this forum, or others, John ( in three yrs) It's amazing really considering the amount of posts ( & you) have been involved in!.I have "reported" (to admin) on my 2 hands only the amount of times needed. I only disagree with your point is, the posts concerning personal "bickering" as tonight continues ( if not more) rather than addressing opinionated issues of value across the spectrum. I enjoy this forum (as with others, Formula 1, political issues etc) & all without personal abuse. Heated exchanges, a quip & a smile I can handle. A bland & non-vibrant forum, you I, have not been accustomed to. Sorry 'bout the typing. I nipped out for nice brandy. With best regards. V

Agree with the sentiments, as long as folk are civil then all  is good. A great site and resource and 99.9% of users are great folk and very welcoming. 

Like anywhere in life, the others out themselves quickly and can be easily avoided thereafter.

Ah OK the fancy Spanish stuff but still Spanish.

I am more of a cognac man myself. Hennesy XO is lush.

Prefer Remy XO myself, though the Courvoisier XO Imperial isn't bad either. 🥃🍷
