"There will always be some that don't play by the rules, bend the rules. Personally, I mind my own business " When you post something to a public feed, you're willingly making it everyone's business. If status updates are anything to go by (people obviously seeking physical meets, vs people posting 'stay safe' or bemoaning the fact that they still can't meet) then 'some' is 'more than half.' Probably more like 80% No way to put a true figure on it, but to my eye, the status updates feed looks pretty much like it did pre-lockdown. And that's enough to convince me that the majority on here are ignoring the meet ban, rather than just 'some.' There seems to be a different atmosphere here in the forums than on the main site though, with most people at least claiming they're not looking to meet and that they support the banning of those who are. | |||

'When you post something to a public feed, you're willingly making it everyone's business.' This is true. I am only interested in policing myself, not the whole site. I neither have the energy nor the inclination for it. You sound like you have put a lot of effort and time into it. | |||

" This completely It's no different from the thousands of people that have been flocking to beaches, or ignoring social distancing rules, or making dashes to holiday homes (or Durham!!), or going to supermarkets as a couple or any of the other irritating and irresponsible things people have been doing since lockdown began. Yes, it's annoying, but you can't do a great deal about it - all you can do is take care of yourself and your own responsibilities and just roll your eyes at those that don't match them. Not worth getting hot under the collar about | |||

"You sound like you have put a lot of effort and time into it. " A spare half hour of copying and pasting, this morning. And only because I had a point to make. On that other thread (now closed by the moderators) I was being told that most people are playing by the rules and not meeting. (How someone can claim to know this for a fact, I don't know.) I was also asked for evidence of my assertion that this wasn't the case. I'd have provided it on that thread, if the mods hadn't closed it. | |||

But honestly on here I don't get that worked up. | |||

"Some ppl don't agree with other ppl - shocker! A minority of ppl don't follow the rules - double bhocker! Why write a thread? It's almost as if you're saying you're jealous and you want the break the rules yourself? If you want to break the rules then you can, but you can't ask for public backing, innit.... " I'm thinking you maybe right | |||

"Were you down Bournemouth beach telling everyone to go home, what a waste of energy, you can’t control what other people do, yes there are selfish pricks, everyone knows that, but it’s exhausting getting Exasperated with the behaviour of other people, at some point you have to let go and just looking after yourself. " I agree 100%. I think you've missed the context here. I was arguing (on the other thread) for Fab to lift the outright ban on meeting, and let people make their own decisions. FabSwingers and FabGuys are the only sites I'm on that actually made it a bannable offence to break the government guidelines on social distancing. Others have merely closed off their meeting features, or even carried on, business as usual. It seemed proportionate while we were all in panic mode back in March, but it's overkill now. | |||

"How in heavens name have you got that much energy to put into having a moan at/about people. The Mods closed the thread for a reason but you feel it is your right to come and carry in on? In the words of my 4yr old Grandadughter's favourite film song. "Let it go"" It is a good song | |||

In the words of my 4yr old Grandadughter's favourite film song. "Let it go"" I probably would have done if I hadn't spent half an hour compiling the list, only to find the thread had been closed. And I assume they closed it because the matter was closed as far as the site support forum was concerned, not because even discussing site policy on meeting is forbidden. I wouldn't open another site support thread, but see no reason not to open one here. It's actually both refreshing and reassuring to see more "make your own mind up" than "you must follow the rules because it's the law" on this thread. The tone on the other one was very different. So far from being a waste of time, it's showing that the overall mood is in favour of letting adults figure out their own risk strategies. On this thread, at least. It's funny that I went into the other one as pro-choice, but didn't make it so clear on this one and was misinterpreted as being anti-choice. Perhaps some people just like to be contrary, and only respond if they see something to disagree with. It's just like safe sex, I suppose. You'll always get the preachy ones saying "you MUST use condoms." In reality, everyone should be free to find a safety (or unsafety) strategy that they're happy with. | |||
