Not allowed to reply to negative posts
It looks like one can't reply TO negative posts WITH negative posts.
It seems as long as your negative post is aimed at OZ then thats OK.
But when you try and BALANCE the argument you get shot at from the wings by TROLL protectors calling you LOUD MOUTH
These are the people BLEATING on about needing negative posts to balance arguments
but THEY want to choose the people who post negatively
apparently the OPINION police are now in force.
So NO negative posts unless you are a TROLL

Suggest you need to toughen up a bit before you move overseas, if you're getting this upset over something so trivial...

I don`t think tough has anything to do with it. It is bang out of order that someone has been ripped to threads (metaphorically speaking) just for posting a picture. Some people threads just take it to far.

It seems PB and Co. have a few Lap Dogs on here who are quite happy reading them ripping peoples posts apart without a murmer, but as soon as someone has a go back at them the YAPPING starts.

Never been to Oz (currently in Canada), have no real opinion on PB's posts as i don't usually post browse through this section...but I saw your posting and replied. Not quite sure why you're getting so uptight, but hey if it makes you happy to think that i'm PB's lapdog, you go right ahead

Stoney is absolutely correct, people on this forum are constantly being branded dreamers and worse by PB & co, but the minute somebody challenges their opinions and gives back a little of what has been dished out, the TROLLS and their LAPDOG's begin to whine.
We are all adults (!) and constructive criticism is one thing, but being downright rude is another! It is good to hear both positives and negatives on this forum, but don't bring it down to the gutters! Personal attacks are the trademark of the TROLLS posts, and sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire.
Grub, thanks for the photo, and best of luck in your new home. Don't let the TROLLS spoil your settling in, as of course I'm sure you won't let them. Keep posting!
Rosy, if you've made such a big mistake, come on home, the UK needs YOU!

I know this is very old territory, so sorry....but I have to ask, aren't you doing what you are saying people shouldn't do, ie basically slagging off some-one who you disagree with.
(don't know if I should post this as I'll probably just get shot down...)

Isn't this just the sort of thing that you criticize others for? I know I'm going to get ripped for posting this, but thought I'd ask...

I'm just offering a balanced choice of posts.
It seems that people who want to use these posts to exchange information have to run the gauntlet of personal abuse by the Original Trolls and their lapdogs. OK offer your negative opinions they are very informative and eye opening, but when they turn into insults that oversteps the mark in MY opinion.
I am only insulting the insulters and their lapdogs.

At this rate we could go on all night, it isn't worth it, lets just get back to sharing the all important information we all seek from one another, whichever direction we are heading.
