Rivalries are rivalries, and that isn't a bad thing as long as relations remains reasonably cordial and non abusive.
I've read the suggestions, personally I've no objection to their adoption, although to be perfectly frank, and I don't mean this disrespectfully, I regard most of them as the sort of things that might be dreamt up by the PR department of a Local Council, strong on touchy-feely political correctness but in reality just fudge, because fudge is the alternative to nothing.
Has it occurred to anyone that there might not be anything wrong with UKCF. The Forum has Rules, OK they are not the Rules that were in place when I joined in 2008, but no one forces anyone to click the Accept button.
If there is anything weak with UKCF at the moment it's topics. Which isn't surprising. UKCF is four years old, and in that time we've reviewed or discussed just about every aspect of Cuban cigars possible and so the gap between interesting new topics now tends to correspond with new releases. I don't post much in the non-cigar sections. I know little about whisky, the books I read and the music I listen to aren't anything to recommend, but I do read the posts, and so do members and possibly hundreds of guests, so not bad at all. On the plus side, an open Forum will attract a constant stream of newbees, and although answering their questions might mean me doing it for the hundredth time it does mean I've something to post.
Once upon a time we were allowed to mention overseas cigar merchants. The good and reliable, the new or unfamiliar and the downright shysters. It was fun and generated loads of posts, but unfortunately on an open Forum was running a little bit too close to the wind. Today the UKCF is what it can be, so if everyone joins in where they can, posts where they can, that is enough and everyone can be proud of it.
