General Discussion
thanks @flo i was hoping there would be! and i'm sure i will love dalwish very much.
I used those terms to describe how people could percive some of the things being said here.I was descibing my experience of looking through the forum and the impression that I got from some of the posts. I did not directly descibe anyone or any place using those words. I only said that, from reading some threads, people might be led to think those things. It was in reponce to threads that upset me ...
thank you @jools88 ! i do love that this site is so active, just wonder why some of the irrelevant threads are on a community board. @burneside i love knitting, what can i say?! i wanted to find a knitting group or start one in dawlish. i looked through some of the events/services/societies and also looked at some of the threads here. i was getting put off using the board and admittedly ...
I won't be in Dawlsih tomorrow otherwise I'd love to come along. It sounds like a great event so I hope it's a success!
I have not meant to cause any argument or make people feel censored or like they can't express their opinions. I just wanted to find out more about Dawlish and join in with the community. What I saw on these discussion pages put me off using the site and so I wondered why it hadn't been moderated. This is a community site and I think that everyone should feel welcome to use the site. Instead I ...
thank you @Mcjrpc ! i haven't meant to cause such an arguement and i do understand that i have come accross a bit strongly. i honestly didn't notice the reporting buttons to use to report posts to moderators but i will use these in future. i don't want to be driven away from using the site. i understand that discussion is good and healthy. i understand that people will have different views to ...
in my opinion this forum should be used like a notice board and to discuss local issues. i don't want to have to trawl through hate and misery just to find out what's happening in my area. i don't want to have to ban my kids from using their town's local website because i'm concerned that it's full of unmoderated racism dressed up as 'concern for tradition' or whatever. i hope that @wondering is ...
I think that many of these posts should be removed as soon as they appear. I don't think it's censorship. I understand that this is a community board for discussions. It is not like a chat in the pub. These posts stay here for anyone to read. If someone in the pub said something along the lines of disliking people who aren't born in England I'd probably ignore the person and pity them. But if they ...
@Mcjrpc thank you very much! i had to look up the word 'parochial' as i'd never heard it before, it does sum up my worries! i've found and joined the eyes of dawlish group on facebook. i think that group will be more helpful for me. i haven't wanted to upset the users of this group.
@burneside it's only because i want to consider myself a proud part of dawlish that i'm speaking up about the way this forum is used and the impression that it gives others.
