This is scary
I've just read the KJP's post about leaving this forum and I have to say that this is a very scary place. Two moderators and a person with 9000 posts have closed off that thread because people dared to stand up for someone they felt could provide information and help to them. It has not passed me by that all three of these people are in America. Well, I know that free speech is something not favoured by the majority of Americans (your president was democratically elected this time wasn't he???) but on this side of the World people ARE allowed to express themselves even if not everyone wants to hear what they have to say. I'm with KJP. There are some nice people on here but there's other sites that are far nicer for people going to NZ and maybe I'll see you there.

Don't let a few people ruin it for you - most on here are fine, and those that aren't will slowly weed themselves out. Give the others a chance to show you that there are some nice folk on here. Can't see any posts from KJP on here that you have just read??? Keep smling

Re: This is scary
1. If you read all of the thread you will see that I closed it to stop the nasty comments.
2. I'm British and so were all the other people you mentioned.
3. As per our forum rules "The administrators and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit." http://britishexpats.com/forum/faq.p...q_new_faq_item
4. Yes there are plenty of nice sites on the internet and this one is nice too

We shall have to wait and see. The majority on here seem okay. So we must preserve the peace.
