The whole idea of a public forum is to engage in discussion about ones experiences and life, so to refuse to give it is nonsensical.

Seems the vast experiences you allude to haven't worked in your favour. You haven't provided one iota of useful information to the OP or either thread other than a touch of amusement.
Maybe do the NZ part of the forum a favour and return yourself to an area of the forum where you may be effective.

Yes DAM AS IN “Dam, dam, dam”, we say as we appropriate Rex Harrison’s famous line from My Fair Lady

Had an 'n' on the end when I was at school

You refer to Dam -
a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, forming a reservoir used to generate electricity or as a water supply, OR
a rubber sheet used to keep saliva from the teeth during dental operations, or as a prophylactic device during cunnilingus and anilingus.

NO I REFER TO Rex Harrison’s famous line from My Fair lady ...Although i am the first to admit my English grammar and spelling at times are useless.But my ability to see the possibilities now that`s when i come into my own.

What the hell that has to do with Henry Higgins is anyone's guess however time for a tune i do believe

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before

Using the term dear person is something i have been doing for a number of years in such forums as pall talk wire club never had anyone think it was an insult.? Its an expression i and many others use.I presume you are aware that the internet has a array of different forums.? However you are a moderator correct.? Tell me i am curious as an experienced and knowledgeable moderator (cough, cough, cough,) sorry about that i just reread the last few lines of what i just typed.However what do you see as forums most important function.?

P.S regarding (Would love to see what they make of him in TIO.) You should ask BEVS to move this thread to TIO if such a thing was possible.? As she seems to like moving my comment/thread around

Using the term 'dear' is seen as extremely condescending/patronising. If you continue to do so it will be viewed as trolling.

What does the last sentence in your post mean?
