whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
I thank my God you're OK and posting, Longman, I was *faecal matter* scared we were going to lose you. I think we need to band together and present a united front, because you're right - we only have each other to rely on. The last thing we should do is withdraw, although we must also recognise that sometimes we need to, temporarily.
I don't know about anyone else, but the last thing that I need is a new mummy and daddy. I get resentful when I am spoken to like a naughty child (I had one from the mods too) or patronised, and if anyone wants to say something critical of me, they have my private contact details, they do NOT have to make a public exhibition of us, it's the online equivalent of the Stocks.
I also get a bit taxed by the sort of people who come on here and report us for the things we say. I thought we were all supposed to be adults, and as everyone points out, we might not like what people say but we don't deny their right to say it. Mods like to give their 'dressing downs' in public at us, and I do not conceded that they have any right to missuse their 'power' that way, and yet are slow, almost reluctant, to do the vital job of protecting the vulnerable.
I like what Electra and Longman say above, and if 'socks says anything at all, it's what we all think - someone there at NAS is not 'getting' it, and that's staggeringly unbelievable!
Is this just indicative of how much the NAS avoids imvolving us in the daily business?
