Anyone remember...
- 26 November 2016 21:08321146..when this forum/DoverWeb/Dover Forum was a polite, friendly, informative and pleasant place to meet and discuss all things local?
Now it seems to be petty sniping and insults behind pseudonyms with no real friendliness... can't imagine a get together any time in the future !!

To be fair this forum has always been a bit like this but the difference now is that some of our newer unidentifiable members never post on anything but their pet hate subject or person.
To be honest these are the kind of members that we do not really need. Maybe we should let them continue with their generally boring posts but not raise to the bait on here by replying to them.Brian Dixon, Guest 1711, Paul M and 2 more like thisBrian Dixon, Guest 1711, Paul M, howard mcsweeney1 and Reginald Barrington like this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

The irony is that an unidentifiable member has "liked" your post.Captain Haddock likes this - Captain Haddock

27 November 2016 14:44321192It would be a much better forum if we could all think a little before posting. It is neither clever nor grown up to post things merely to cause offence.
If we can all do just a little bit the world might become a much kinder place.
To this end I have just bought my partner an Advent Calendar where all the profits are going to victims of Domestic Abuse.
