The Last Post?

This is turning out to be a No longer like it here anymore because of...

fill in the blank.

We are all from different cultures and have different attitudes about politics and religions. Peter is trying to say that we should try to stay within music topics and our sense of humour shouldn't offend anyone's deeply held beliefs. 

I agree with Peter. However I also know that it's not a perfect world and feathers do get ruffled from time to time.

HOW CAN WE FORGET DANBO AND JOREN!!!......ER, WHO IS DANBO???

IS THAT THE BLOKE IN THE BOAT??

HE SHOULD LAY OFF THE POTATO CHIPS!!!

OH DEAR i AM IN FOR IT NOW

AMEN JIM

YOU PETER AND I, WERNT WE THE "FIRST THREE""?

GOODBYE FOR NOW NET FREIND

LET ME KNOW HOW THINGS ARE IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD, AT SOME STAGE(AH SUNNY ONTARIO!!!...CAMELS TREKKING ACROSS SANDY DESERTS, MILES OF DESERTED SUN DRENCHED BEACHES....TRULY AN ENCHANTED LAND!!!)

AND DONT WORRY, I WILL TAKE CARE OF GARTEN

HERE JIM .....DIN DINS!!!(WHERE IS THAT BIB?)

Dude:

You said: "personally i beleive there should be a code of conduct or set of guidelines that should be read by anyone wishing to join the forums, as a condition to joining." 

I agree with you, but, as the saying goes, "be careful what you wish for."  If you read the recent "civility" thread (which appears at the top of all categories), you will see that my implementation of two reasonable guidelines met with some fairly stiff backlash.  For the most part, everyone has observed the two new guidelines.  However, I hesitate to think what might happen if I were to add further guidelines.

Still, if Peter's "bowing out" from the forums helps to get more people to follow the two basic guidelines - and, as Peter magnificently puts it, to "stick to the music" (and avoid ultimately irrelevant (and almost always inflammatory) topics like politics and religion) - then this can only be a good thing.  And Peter knows this.

Peace.

Peter, I just want to say that in the short time that I've been here that I've found you to be a true gentleman and someone that we need more of around here. Try to ignore the offensive trolls that surface now and then. They will become bored after a while and hopefully leave.

Please reconsider.

I have enjoyed our private chats and understand your reasons!

i made an idiotic contribution to the recently deleted "READ THIS" THREAD for which i apologise most sincerely to everyone!!......and as a man with religious beleifs it my seem odd to say but i would prefer there be no talk of religion at all.

its just to messy.

whether we like it or not there are "taboo" subjects such as religion and politics that are really not appropriate(or relevent!) to this site and we do have to be careful of what we say, and be aware of the diverse cultural beleifs and perceptions represented here(in that regard i have made some "ripper blunders"(as we say in my country) that have got me the ocassional cyber slap on the hand)

personally i beleive there should be a code of conduct or set of guidelines that should be read by anyone wishing to join the forums, as a condition to joining.

Peter and i have had many verbal jousts(he was always a  gracious  loser) and now who will i tell my balzac jokes to??

 JIM???....to busy dancing(GO TWINKLE TOES!!)

 DANBO???......nah! he is still on that lake in the Sierras i think

VELVE???.........nope,..to fixated with Mariah

Peter:let that question mark be more than just a mark on a page.

I'm glad you put a question mark after the title, as it gives me hope that you will not do this dastardly deed. Think not of yourself but the impact you are having on others - who will Danbo taunt now? Who will reign in the wild and dangerous VelvetClown? Who else could stand up intellectually to Dick Heath?

I ask you to think twice before you unleash the Gartens, the Jorens and the Vibes on the rest of us...

(partly) in fun
