...accurately represent the people of Lewes?

This Forum represents those in Lewes-and beyond- who take the trouble to post and express their views and opinions. Where accuracy is concerned it is probably fair to say that the more educated post on a forum; but in particular in Lewes we have a broad spectrum of attitudes and beliefs.
I could say that we are lucky in that we have a very low level of censorship, with only the most extreme or obnoxious comments being removed- but that should be the norm in a democratic society like the one we enjoy.

I ask, because as I wander around the streets of Lewes, I can't imagine anyone anyone I see or meet, posting some of the hatred that I read on here.

I agree with Billie actually. it's a sad platform for desktop bullies, racists and loudmouths but when your out and about it seems like an open, tolerant society. The bonfire side adds to this. Online it's just shouty sados. The local banter is good but always gets highjacked by the forum bore. Easy to hide in the shadows

It's a tabula rasa before Lewesians contribute to it.

So we'vehadourfun, how about we all get together for a huge punch-up and sort it out once and for all.

Judging by the comments and posts if it were are true reflection the people of Lewes are just full of nastiness and hatred towards each other. I'm sure a lot of this is down to trolls from other parts of the country.

I'm certain the trolls are fewer in numbers than the numerous usernames would suggest. We have a core few maybe who stir up trouble with their anger issues, get a little obsessive and perhaps have some social and learning difficulties but its a minority who just so happen to use multiple aliases. Its artificially inflated, and this forum is probably representative otherwise.

It's here essentially because it's cheaper than mental health care in the community

@ forum nutter - what is hypocritical about what I said? What habit do you speak of? You seem to be taking my comment personally, even if it wasn't directly targeting you, so you choose to personally attack me? hmmmm. Oh, and I've nothing to hide. I guess you're just looking for a daytime quarrel with me....
