Just a thought?

Great to have you with us Farmer Gyles. Night night xxx

Hey.....

.....I, as everyone does, have my own personal views on 'stuff' and 'things'.

One thing I have noticed on these boards, is that firstly, posts and members have significantly increased of recent times.

You have to remember the relevance of these boards.

People are here to ask the more knowledgeable/experienced members for their help/advice or just to share their experiences in this chosen field.

What you have to say is of major importance to someone, somewhere at any given time.....always, just because you didn't get the response expected or predicted doesn't mean it wasn't important, it's just that the audience are so preoccupied by other stuff at that time that they bypass the stuff that is not in their immediate mind.

Seed potatoes, how to plant, what to plant, when to plant, compost, flowers and frost are headliners here, it only takes a couple of posts to put yours to the bottom of the pile, that is not to say that it is not important, it is just a more controversial and difficult thread to reply to in this environment (albeit online).

I doubt that anyone would wish to see you delete your profile, you have made a vauable contribution to the message boards.....please continue!

I believe in aliens ! after all one got elected to be president of the USA

Now that's just unkind...if you were an alien thinking of visiting you might be put off by a comment like that.

....and by the way I'm not that sure he was even elected.

I seem to remember that a few months ago we had a discussion here about 'alternative' religious beliefs which wandered into women's roles in religion, Gaia etc etc. It was great and so interesting and all related to saving the planet etc.

I didn't read the thread on UFOs because it didn't ring my bell at the time but I don't think anybody would be ignoring anybody because they hold views which differ.

Ignoring people because they talk bollox, perhaps, but again, that's personal choice and the democratic principle.

As for George W being an alien .............

I get ignored by the voices in my head - now that's a head funk!

Seriously though (yes, I can be), stay exactly where you are!

From time to time I feel as though my presence here is tolerated by some due to my somewhat flippant nature and lack of gardening know how, some have let me know otherwise. Not being Geoff Hamilton, or Monty Don does not mean that I have nothing to offer this little online community we have, and the exact same can be said of you lady!

Personally I'm not one for conflict and will often deflect by trying to be humourous - which works on occasion. Seldom will I be drawn into a heated debate, but more often that not will walk away when people start to get irate. Life's too short in my onion.

If you do decide to leave this place you will be sorely missed, but make sure you stay in contact via Bookface!

[Paulottie]

Seldom will I be drawn into a heated debate

Oh yes you will

[HeyWayne]

Oh yes you will

Seldom, not never!

[Nicos]

I like to keep my head down when it comes to controversy too...and low flying UFO's

Whilst there is a hard core of general chit chat posters, quite a few people will take a peek and not respond to a thread as its not "up their street" or they have nothing to add.

Dont expect a 1000 views to turn into a 1000 replies, it doesnt happen to even the best of threads. Your thread actually was quite succesful and had 117 replies. A lot of threads that are plain dull, banal or pointless get just a handful of answers (as do supprisingly some quite informative ones) as you would expect, more interesting ones get into double figures and ones that catch peoples eyes can fill several pages.

Forums always attract a real eclectic mix of people and opinions, if you post controversial posts, expect some controversial answers. If you are a shrinking violet type, play safe, as replies may not always be what you expect.

Dont worry about it, chill its okay.............i think most people believe in UFO's just too shy to admit it but if Mulder was to knock on my door LOL.

Leaving not allowed, you can never have to many friends.
