Just to make one point from a neutral (although I did find 3legs very funny) - why was his Potatoe Peeler diaries moved to the Lounge and Banana Diaries stays on the 'main'. Surely they have similar content although different meanings.
Mods can we not have a section purely for the 'diary' entries ? Surely no one can complain if they then take the time to read them ?

This 'well don't read the thread if you don't want to' attitude is all very well but it clearly didn't apply to those who got upset with the Potatoe Peeler Diary Thread. It was pretty obvious from the title that it was going to be a p1ss take / parody of diary style posts. Hence if you only like serious diary entries, then using the logic already conveyed, surely you would not read this and hence not have a problem?? Or doesn't it work this way around?
It was the other personal comments that got people.
The potato peelers diary was indeed started as a parodie, but more to start a row.
It also is not a diary about life in Australia, and has no useful info whatso ever. The Banana Diaries has.
I really don't see that we need a different section.
If Threelegs wants to start a diary about live leading up to migrating, and getting here, and life here, he can do that in here to, in my opinion. But I don't think he was ever interested in that, it was to be mean(not the diary part, the other comments!!!).
And anyway, he's since apologised(I'm glad, because from his previous posts he seemed quite nice, and yes: funny.)

Dont know what the final solution is, but I had to go for the last option; if only because thats what I've been doing for dont-know-how-long, up to you if you click on the links then

I would have voted none of the above as I would have liked to see the option of separate forum for posting blog threads in the same way as aus. nz . usa. canada. all have their own forums.
