Are the antics of some traders ruining this forum ?

In my experience... no.

Honestly, have you ever seen a forum that has never had a public slanging match, handbags at dawn, people banned and then a break away forum?

None of it is a surprise. It happens on every forum. There are always people who get the hump and delete their old posts and go out with a harrumph and others who hang around and slag off those that have gone.

Thats just forum life. Take a deep breath and either read or ignore the posts and get over it.

Remember the huge arguments on the needle point forum where Gladys said that Joan had been using the wrong needle size on her crochet pattern for the vicars wife? Well thats what started the new forum called 'recreational-stitching-UK' and then that split off when one of the suppliers of the needles realised it was for crochet and not darning. And well, you remember how it all kicked off again and then the 'needlecrafting' website was created.....

I must of missed something in the last day or two but I couldn't have said it any better!!
