Click For Summary
The discussion highlights several frustrations and observations about forum dynamics, particularly in General Discussion (GD). Participants express annoyance when threads are abruptly closed during active conversations, and they note that many replies often stray from the original topic. There are complaints about the absence of favorite emojis and the prevalence of long usernames. Some members feel that certain topics lack seriousness or humor, while others mention a desire for more engaging threads and the absence of favorite members. The conversation also touches on the challenges of reading posts with unconventional spelling and punctuation, which can hinder comprehension. Additionally, there is a light-hearted exchange about posting frequency, with some members feeling overwhelmed by those who post excessively. Overall, the tone combines humor with genuine concerns about the forum's culture and user interactions.

I doubt that very much, PF members are respectful to wild life, I hope.

Yes sir, we only have a few these days, and the crimes requiring this punishment are getting less and less, shooting a Robin only gets you
50 lashes now, but nicking bee orchids is still in at number 17.

I dunno, you might take it as a safe assumption. I mean i can think of you being an anglic type of girl, but it's usually the opposite that attracts male interest, as I'm sure you already know.

If you consider this an offending remark, then I'm sorry and i apologize :redface:

Come on!Feel free to say whatever you like.
Idon't care what men like or dislike in general.I just do what I like.you know when I'm talking to women,I'm always careful not to upset them but I'm comfortable with men.You know most of them even persuade me to be like this.it's sometimes bad esp. when I'm too tired to argue with them but they expect me to do!

Nope, but "Lisa " sounds terribly tempting. :-p I see, so if i wasn't leaving, you wouldn't have been nice to me ? Well, thank you anyway, you can be yourself, there's no point in being nice to me, if you don't really feel like it.

Daniel.
