I can't make sense of the forum, I think it is unnecessarily complicated and the warmth has gone.

I am assuming that we are supposed to read the book for the August book club by August 1 so that we can discuss it (assuming you want to be in the book club).

I'd also like to point out that AG has a huge following in the U.S. I'm a little disappointed by the focus on Great Britan on this site.  I'm a teacher English 10 (second year of high school), and I can tell you that "And Then There Were None" is a huge hit with the students.  In fact, a new show on CBS called, "Harper's Island" is a combination of AG's book and the movie "Saw".  AG's influence (directly or indirectly) cannot be overstated in the U.S.

Yes lava, they meant you didn't have to trawl through the posts you could just go to Topics which had new posts since your l;ast visit if you know what I mean

I suppose everybody is different, but I preferred it when yellow lights indicated where new posts were and I also preferred it when you had the option of reading posts which had spoilers and it was up to people putting the posts to write SPOILER and it was up to othewrs who hadn't read the book that the post was about to stay away, to me it ssemed like a more sensible and common sense thing to do.

Tim I don't complain about everything and I do respect apm's opinion but I would respect it more if he or she hadn't put something so illogical without qualifying it but I suppose things like that you only learn with age, I agree with you about the icons next to people's usernames but I think this site is disorganized not the last one but I suppose that is a matter of opinion also.

Just so you know, ariadnepoirotmarple, I very much enjoy reading your contributions, and would be disappointed if I could no longer do so thanks to a ridiculous person like winnebago.

Winnebago, please, keep it to yourself. You are only wasting your time picking everything I say. The fact is: we all have the right to express our opinion wherever we are. And well, I didn't say nothing of big importance. I just wrote two or three words and you are complaining about those three little words that weren't even important! You're acting like a child, I'm sorry to say, you are being immature and childish. You haven't nothing to do with your life, do you? Instead of being complaining about a little thing you could make something useful.

ariadnepoirotmarple I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours all I am saying is that I wish there was an age restriction so people like you could express your opinion elsewhere, the fact that other people don't complain about your views does not mean they agree with them.

ariadnepoirotmarple 24 Dec 08 at 1:37 p.m. GMT
You know what? The unique person leaving immature comments here is you, winnebago. Not to be rude or something but you complain about everything! Nobody else here complained about my comments, people agree with me. I think you are the unique one here having problems with what I write. Keep your opinion about my "silly little comments" to you.

Although I still think the warmth is lacking I am getting ysed to the site, I do however think there should be a junior site for children like ariadnepoirotmarple so they can put silly little comments and leave mature debate to the grown ups.

I love the new change. It was about time the old one was getting old. I love the icons next to your name. What Warmth did the old one have? I thought it was rather cold.. Everything was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO disorganized... I agree with apm.. you complain about EVERYTHING.. Like on the last formum and our olympics runin.. If you hate it so much then dont post. Also, Why Dont you respect apm's respons? I agree somethings are more fun when they are a bit complicated.. I also feel like a dont know everything on here and that it wont be neglected as far as news. This one seems so much more active and lively to me.. Its a bit more mysterious  (fitting with the theme) when it is complicated. Try and find something you like in it. I Also agree with GFK this site has bearly been out and your already complaining.. Wait till you get use to it.. When I opened it I didn't like it much either but when I look around a bit more I Loved it. The only complaint I have is that I dont like the font but thats minor.They also havent fixed all the bugs yet.

Winnebago, I'm 11, yes, I am a child! Lol! And I think you are the unique one here saying that I make stupid statements. I was just kidding when I wrote that, probably you don't know what LOL means. "There's certain things that have to be necessarily complicated. Lol". I think you must stop complaining about everything and ignore "stupid statements".
Tommy_A_Jones-avatar
Tommy_A_Jones 11 Nov 08 at 4:27 p.m. GMT
The reason I asm complaining ariadnepoirotmarple is because you made a statement without giving a reason for your answer, I was going to not call it a stupid statement incase you were a child as your post makes you sound like one but as it happens what you said was stupid.

But Why do you say that ariadnepoirotmarple or did you justv say that because you haven't got an inteligent reply?
