Topic: What Do You Want From Santa?

[natterjak]

Phil, I'm confused. What does any of this have to do with cooking curry.? You're posting in a curry themed thread, in a curry-specific section of a specialist curry cooking web forum. Your rambling personal journal entries to which we are regularly "treated" have no place here and are most unwelcome to me, and I'd venture to say most forum users.  Why you persist in this abusive misuse of the site, even in a thread in which you've previously been upbraided for being off topic, is quite beyond me.

New technology brings with it many novel opportunities for people to self-publish their memoirs for the benefit of anyone interested in reading them. I suggest you avail yourself of such means to see whether you can channel your enthusiasm for sharing every detail of your life into producing a kindle-classic "Phil's Life, day by day". I won't be buying. Mind you, perhaps with such an outlet you could then spare us your diary entries and just make use of this website in a normal fashion, ie to contribute to the topic of curry cooking?  That would be most welcome! 

[Peripatetic Phil]

If you care more about curry than you do about the plight of those in major distress as the result of the Christmastide floods, NJ, then I genuinely feel sorry for you.  Perhaps you see the ability to focus solely on curry, to the exclusion of everything else, as something positive -- something to be admired and encouraged; I am afraid that I don't.  The topic of this thread is "What do you want from Santa", to which I responded by publishing my personal wish list.  In the light of today's salutary experiences, I saw only too clearly that other's needs far outweigh mine, and I reported that here by way of acknowledging that fact.  Our own misfortunes often pale into insignificance when compared to those of others, something that we occasionally forget.

** Phil.

Phil, I hope you informed the poor people of Yalding that the floods hadn't been caused by some severe natural meteorological event, or indeed an act of God - but were purely a result of them keeping their ground spices in unsealed jars, resulting in the evaporation of the essential oils held within, which caused an imbalance in the atmospheric conditions above Kent, resulting in the horrific rainfall witnessed thereafter.

I find it amazing why no one else has come forward to support Garps thread.

Garps thread was taken of topic. Posts had nothing to do with what Garp was
asking and in no way in the spirit Garp intended.

I myself support both NJ and Garp's recent posts but every one else seems to have
gone all shy, bullies enjoy this type of environment if you allow it.

I'm confused here, Where does the bulling come into it?

Well said NJ. This forum is turning into Phil's life blog and most of us are not interested.

I don't mean to offend Phil and I'm sure he is a decent bloke in real life but he's obviously addicted to posting on here. He must be the top poster by far and half of it is completely off topic.

Hi,
I am sorry Les but I have seen bullying over others on this site.
If some one does not get his/her way they go all out to force an opinion
or opinions on others at any cost, destroying the thread or topic along the way.
Pages of off topic discussion because a bully will not stop trying to force an opinion on others.

Have you nothing to say about the bigger issue of Garps thread
being taken way off topic Les ?

Fishy! You lie, but at least you're not arguing, like most other folk on this once good forum.
