"every post of mine was instantly jumped on by the usual idiots and I get called a low carb anti which is just not true"

"that was the reason why lots of good posters no longer post to the forum but nothing was done and the idiots still post their lies and their low carb propaganda rubbish on a regular basis"

So, Bonkers is not a low carb anti, but low carbers are a bunch of liars who post low carb propaganda and rubbish on a regular basis.  And people reckon I am certifiable, that maybe, but don't ever say I am bonkers.

Kind regards Eddie

In the meantime, I just vacuumed my living room and had a shower. My shower gel cost me 99p ! Bargain :-)

It would be a pity if that happened.

We don't want to drive anyone away but we also think it's important to be able to post, within reason, your thoughts. If anyone gets out of hand, the mods will step in. There has been nothing nasty said, it's a bit of good humoured banter but there is a serious note there. If you look through the "other" thread, you'll understand. The posts are very negative and bordering on taunting. Better to let off a little steam here as a one off than to start ranting on the other forum.

If you are not a back stabbing type then send them a link to this thread and invite them to have a proper, un censored discussion.

Alternatively, simply private message them and speak frankly when you do.

Otherwise you ARE talking behind their backs.

Is the objective for this forum to be competition or complementary to the other?  I would imagine diabetes.co.uk see it as competition otherwise why are they removing links to here?  I'm happy to be in both but I don't want to be put in a position where I have to choose between one or the other.

It's quite likely that moderators on the other forum have joined this forum incognito to monitor what's being said.  I'm not suggesting that's a good or a bad thing, just making a note.
