well , looks like we found some common ground .

I think something is not working as I see some obviously interpersonal posts that get no mention yet seemingly public threads attract that label?

I must have a different view of interpersonal...............................

as for asking re male/female ratio...... I can't see a reason it was not allowed.

I am scanning and cutting with a machine, lots of hands free time for me and my PC is a touchscreen, win win. The OH is out with his dad at a car show. (one of my worst nightmares)

edited to say..................... Women multi task, few men can, it seems

The moderation means you have to choose your words more carefully, but you can still get your message across.

 

I don't mind it, it's a challenge! 🙂

just means that its over moderated and any flowing banter and debate is stifled and deleted and you are treated like a naughty child

its how you kill a forum and turn it into a grave yard.... and thats what will happen on this one and is happening

over moderation and over control 

You are not allowed to call a spade a spade. Perhaps before a post can be posted a message such as "Are you sure you want to post that?" would help. Spontaneity is stifled. It can take me ages to compose a reply so as not to appear hostile interpersonal, off topic etc that by the time it is ready, the conversation has moved on so my post no longer has relevance or the thread gets locked while I am still writing.
