Introductions

[Anchorman]

Yep.
She's using Supernova;
I'm using guide, which is less complex (and cheaper).

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

  Sorry.

What if we set up a Yahoo group, or something similar, with email updates?

[Anchorman]

That's a plan - I'm already on a yahoo group.

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

I'll put it to the membership on FB.


--

EDIT - have now done so. Waiting for responses.

[Cymrudynnion]

If anyone else wants to join us on FB, the ex-BBC group is here...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/BBCReligion/

To get in, apply, and respond to the PM you will receive (to make sure you are a real person, not a 'bot).

The Secret Forum is, of course, behind the Secret Door in the ex-BBC group...

Darth would I be accepted in your Facebook group?

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

Cym, if you apply, and respond to the PM, then yes.

If you behave yourself, you might even be allowed to stay...

Ok Darth I accept that but to be a member of the Facebook group my name, employer and sporting life is revealed. There are some, yourself included, who have sworn to get me removed from sport and sacked from my job due to the views I hold. How do you reconcile that situation?

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

Clean up your life?

Just a suggestion, you understand. After all, if you weren't a homophobic bigot who is on record as saying he would burn down gay clubs, discriminate against gay children and look the other way if they were bullied and attacked, you wouldn't be in this position, would you?

Really, the solution is on your own hands, isn't it?

I don't wish to my life is clean.
Firstly I didn't say I would burn down a gay club. I did say a number of us back in the 1970's (40 years ago) did say let it "burn down" that is a sign of those times. As for the rest if your group cannot stand criticism from someone who is prepared to stand up for their own beliefs, fair enough, yet another clique is born 

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

Well, you are only worried because you have been posting about doing things which are illegal - if you hadn't done that, no-one would have known about your predilections, would they?

You live by your actions, words and opinions, and if you think that other people knowing about those actions, words and opinions will damn you in the world of work and so on, that's your choice.

No-one forced you to proclaim your views to the world.

No they didn't but as I have said in the past I will always answer a question honestly as I can. In some cases that means offending the poster.

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

Then that's what you live by, and have to live with, isn't it?

No-one's made this problem apart from you.

<shrugs>

[Cymrudynnion]

Darth I would go further. From your comments to me you are running a clique or a Private Members Board/Club.
A person may hold views similar to me, yet, because they do, they are prevented from airing such views because your group will not accept them and will report as they seem fit. As I have said before I can coach/teach who I like'wish, where I like, when I like. It is up to me and NO i don't have to give any reason for turning ANYONE down

You could of course create another facbeook profile just for this group? Just remember not to put any real personal information in it!

[Diarthrognathus Josteyn Ward]

Thing is, Cym, the ex-BBC FB group actually existed BEFORE R&E got started. So if anything, THIS is the clique

[Keturah]

What's a clique anyway?  Sometimes it seems it's a word thrown as in insult by those who would otherwise want to spoil the fun and camaraderie enjoyed by a group of friends who enjoy each other's company.  There's essentially nothing wrong with a Private Members' Club.   Cymru, if you think there is a club which doesn't want you as a member, then start a club of your own.  You and Faces of Eve could be the founder members

[Gonnagle]

Dear Josteyn,

Am I in our not, I tried yesterday but facebook is another planet to me, I simply want to read Monty's rantings.

Gonnagle.

[OH MY WORLD!]

I forgot Darthy has that, wet old hens, FB flock. Now I don't get why dear Darthy felt the need to start that, who's an asset over here. Darthy, surely you don't want to turn R&E into another of your wet old hen clubs? lol

Powwow as an impartial observer over all of that, there are members of that FB site who do not (for whatever the reason) post on here.   Surely we're allowed to gather with same friends and different friends in more than one venue?

[OH MY WORLD!]

Absolutely Ketty, did I suggest one shouldn't? But that one seems to get a mention here from time to time and I never have mentioned it unless it is being talked about. Surely I can add a comment or two on it? I recall the talk about it being a place where you go to bitch about people over here. lol

I'm sure you understood that as you wrote it.   

[OH MY WORLD!]

Correct, I never wrote one should not gather elsewhere. Sorry that you read that into what's not there. Just saying.

I didn't read anything into it.   

[OH MY WORLD!]

Oops, where ever did I get such a notion?

[OH MY WORLD!]

But to be honest, I often talk about some of you with my sisters. They love my sense of humour, just not being the target of it.
