Forums over Face book!

I must seem like I have been drinking red all the time then! Always making typos but this is more to do with not putting my glasses on - honest!

This Old B uses both because I can stay in touch with many people who don't use both. I made the mistake of using forum as a social media site, so I now try hard not to post everything I might say in a conversation at say, the Bow or the Nut. OK, I don't always succeed.....

I still read everything  on here, and am so glad to see others posting more and more. Couldn't care less about typos.....

Anyone who sees my Facebook timeline will see that it is almost entirely devoted to matters Arilliac, which is how I want it. I have almost never been the subject of personal attacks on either FB or forum, but understand how painful that can be.

In the end, I could live without both, but I could not live without Arillas itself.

Did I miss something or was a post deleated

I think 3 posts were deleted but they were slightly off topic! 

[JohnTheRef&Dot]

Lots of posts off topic but rarely deleted ?

I think I miswrote the post…I think it came across like a dig at Facebook, what I was trying to say was how you get a community spirit on the forum which I haven't found on Facebook.

It was misread and the post, including my reply,  were deleted. All the posts were polite though. Just a difference of opinion. Perhaps better to end the topic there.

Fair play  sometimes best to let things lie

I understand that you may want this debate put to bed - I have no problem with that.  I respect our differing opinions.  What I do find strange, however, that some of the discussion has gone missing.
 So, John, you are right - you did miss something.  Cannot understand why the thread`s been altered. Anyway, not to worry.

Possibly because a comment was made regarding one of the hotels in Arillas Paul?

I must say Nick, hats off to you for being so gracious.

Thank you. I just thing the other gent is extremely passionate about the place, and I can't blame anyone for that…after all that's why we all go back so often.

[justphil]

I agree with you Glenny, so gracious.

well handled Nick. everyone is entitled to their opinion without being negated for it.

Off subject a tad and being someone who is not really keen on spending to much time in front of a laptop can someone tell me if Trip Advisor is classed as a "Facebook" or "Forum"?

I am told that there are, quite often , bad reviews about a Taverna/Bar etc and recently a very popular snack bar had a terrible review which when checked found it had come from a nearby competitor. I just wonder what measures they have in place to monitor/check any "fake" reviews.
Same goes for Amazon where any product, I think, can be reviewed.

The review of the hotel in question was not a fake review, and from the writers admission it was an unfair review, but that single review could stop potential new customers. When I see people work hard, and cook great food (possibly the best in Arillas) and I also know that no body who works there can be rude to customers, I will do whatever it takes to defend them.

I also don't think that posts should be deleted without any post or message to say why.

Now back to Facebook
