Help needed in using the forum

Mon 17 Jul 2023, 07:56

Thanks for everyone's comments and advice. Every one is right and I could already see the problems. The truth of the matters is that "fools rush in where Angels fear to tread" and I was one of those fools. It is such a shame because the Forum is a wonderful idea and could , and in many ways actually is a force for good if only people could be pleasant on it. It is one thing to disagree with people's views but there is no need to be nasty about them as people. I don't think many people venture on to the Debate site so I hope that someone with information about the fate of our precious station will put it on this site.

I agree Andrew.

The biggest problem if you remove your posts after another person has answered is that it can leave some answers orphaned and therefore completely meaningless. That also would be very unjust.

So before removing posts it would be most considerate to think about this possibility before acting.

Julia is correct. If Nicolette wishes to remove her own comments she is at liberty to do so - indeed I have done this myself on previous occasions. But once others join in the discussion, one does not have the right to remove their comments as well! That would be *very* unjust!

I believe one can edit and remove their own comments from the forum.

Surely our editor is entitled to a family Sunday. Your strong opinions will undoubtedly see your posts removed to the Debate page.

I should have said "charlbury station " but I am so angry / upset . There is only one person we can access with the power and duty to help save the station and some comments on the forum are childish, counter productive and un helpful

Hi Richard . I have Been wandering around the internet trying in vain to find out how I can get the topic "railway" which is associated with me, closed. You as editor can get the subject raised under a slightly different heading if you would so wish. BUT I want that entry closed
