I think that it would be a good idea for this woman and her Damion son to be given a grand procession through the streets of either Manchester or London, chained together. Then it would give the British public their well earned opportunity to vent their fury towards something other than Brexit, turn it into a Brickxit.

Something like this Dusak?????

Yes MD they are played by MEN

I think this sums it up

MT - Well, I don’t know where you got this news about summary/mob justice – maybe you could provide the link?

The only sites I can find for the name you give are http://www.luxornl.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/LuxorLive1/ and both of these are in Arabic. My translation tool, as are most, is worst than useless so I always exercise caution before declaring that I know what is in a translated Arabic language story. Does anyone know who runs this site - is it a reputable local organization? If it doesn't have a known good reputation why would anyone give it the time of day?

If these are the sites you are using as a source can we assume that you go through the laborious and less than accurate process of translating them. Why would a person who hates Luxor, and regards their time there as a horror, spend scarce time doing this? What rational purpose would this serve for a time scarce and ostensibly happy Cypriot camper?

Two possibilities spring to mind.

"Hell hath no fury....etc etc" maybe applies also to ex-Luxorians who have been royally ripped-off.



.....although you'd need to be one sad b'stard if the best you can manage is plaguing a forum, blessed with hardly a dozen regular contributors, with your incessant twitterings in order to get mentioned.

[Dusak]

I think that we all know by now, if a person has nothing or very little to speak about, then it is the most easy thing in the world to exaggerate true facts, or just make them up to fit the bill. Instead of just waffling on about his comparisons and hate speak, I would respect him more if he gave a good write up about his new life in Cyprus without the compering to Luxor that could possibly be of interest to future visitors, like myself on my next period of leave. No music, music, music and dance, dance dance times, but the area/country its self.

Ah there you have hit the nail on the head Dusak lets all moan that the forum is boring, but do bugger all about it ourselves, everyone can write up something of interest if they try instead of sitting on their backside and waiting to be entertained by others.

but then again,.........why should they, when all you get is a cheap sarcastic comment from a person who often either searches through Wiki all the time, or posts up to thirteen times a day on this forum, makes you wonder what other life they have, and no this is not Horus I refer to here.

Of the so called 12 regulars, as suggested by another member, I notice that a number of them have realised the lack of a 'broad church' on this forum, but for those who are still blind, fail to notice the ' infighting' that has started within the 'pack' or clique,.......take your choice. .

If you don't like a members post, ignore it,...........simple.

[Horus]

Well for someone who keeps referring to other using Wiki, you do seem to know an awful lot about it, but what is wrong with anyone with intelligence using any resource available to them as a reference? At least that source (or any other for that matter) is verifiable by any member on here and it has to be more credible than “a mate of mine told me” sort of post. A good example would be the recent Mughals thread started by Newcastle, many will find it interesting and although many (like myself) have an interest in other cultures and history there is always something new to learn. So where does that learning come from? From books? From TV programmes? All information comes from somewhere and all information on Wiki has its origins elsewhere and only a fool would believe everything in its entirety regardless of the source. The idea of a forum is for people to challenge or discuss and that is where your lack of ‘Broad Church’ comes in, some members will make a post and expect that everyone else has to believe it or accept what they have written without being the subject of comment or rebuttal. Take for example a thread that contains references to extra terrestrial visitors in an Egyptology thread, are the rest of us supposed to just agree? Or do we challenge those claims and ask other to prove or back up what they have said or claimed? If people then sulk or stop posting because their ideas or views are being challenged, then that is their problem and not others for making those challenges, otherwise we may as well all just read a book.

The complete opposite goes for someone writing up an account, we have to accept that what they have written is what they experienced, so to disagree would be out of order. However that does not stop other from adding a comment that may be different from the writers experience or from asking questions or giving advice or suggestions. You continually bang on about ‘cliques’ and ‘likes’, so what is in your opinion a clique? If you have a few regular posters then it stands to sense that many will have a similar opinion, if for example MT makes one of his “I hate Luxor” posts, then it is obvious that most members will disagree with him, is that your ‘clique’?

Now to your ‘in fighting’ again you use a phrase that many would not recognise, can we have an example of this? I would say that I have had pretty intense debates with just about everybody on here at one time or another as have many others, but unlike the ones who cannot stand the heat or cannot defend their position and go off in a sulk, I would say that most of us would in fact happily share a few beers with each other if the opportunity arose (apart from with Newcastle that is ) So I suggest that instead of looking for cracks and trying to prise them open, that you make interesting contributions yourself and stop moaning about others making numerous posts, at least they are making a contribution and not just complaining.

Since when was there a limit on the number of posts any member could make during a 24 hour period? Unless DJKeefy has updated the Forum Rules without letting anyone know the answer is that there is no limit to the number of posts which can be made.

'broad church' Ah! That overused, unexplained, heading again. You regularly make comments about cliques but fail to recognise that you yourself could at times be accused of belonging one too. It's all down to points of view (and how clear your vision is).

'If you don't like a members post, ignore it,...........simple.' Perhaps time to remind you to heed your own advice.

But the laws of a Country is applied by the Police, it becomes a dangerous position when local people take the law into their own hands. After all is that not what the Police and Lawmakers are employed for? I did notice though that many had started taking the law into their own hands, in which case there is no need for a Police Force, so may as well leave things to mob rule. I find it difficult to understand how rules and law enforcement run hand and hand with religion, they are two separate things completely, unless of course you live in Luxor maybe.

[Dusak]

I'm constantly referring to the Internet for information, to check something out. I have to do this cos I'm not clever enough to know everything about everything. Also if you do past a section from the likes of Wiki, at least it helps those that are reading a section of a post that may not know about, or understand the full facts. Point in question was the other day when my curiosity was aroused considering the worlds population in the sixteenth century from a post of newcastles. Or did all that read my reply think 'wow, he knows his stuff'.

Ditto

And by quoting any internet-derived source for your post/comment/view you have the consolation that, when challenged, the blame (should you be proven to be in error and have to backtrack) can be , at least in part, apportioned to others

Spouting unsupported information, only to have it shot down by those who are not prepared to take your information as gospel, is a truly masochistic pastime

[HEPZIBAH]

Some of these post highlight to me the importance of stating, and linking if possible, the original source of information. It assists and enables others to check out bacmground and other facts and research other sources should they so choose.

[Horus]

I agree, although not everything we say or post is the result of the internet, some of it is just general life learning and where we gleaned that particular information from is not always provable. Take for example a gardening tip or a way to sort out a PC problem, or even a cookery recipe, we just know how to do it by experience and could not really offer a source for that knowledge. It is different when citing a scientific fact used to support our argument or point of view, although even claiming the Earth was round would be met with someone giving links somewhere that ‘proved’ the opposite to be true.

I remember being in a pub quiz one night one of the questions was "what is creme inglis better known as?" custard I said straight away. The guy who was writing the answers down asked if I was sure, yes! How do you know? I don't know how I know I just do.
How do we learn, we learn to read and write usually at school, we have lessons in different subject all through our education but where do we learn the most? From our parents, friends, life experiences or formal education?
