lots of hate in your comment ---wow---


A link? To what? A study?

Providing facts would mean divulging personal information, and after hearing that some people here have been threatened I really don't want to do that. And even if I did, you'd probably want phone numbers and so on to try to call people to verify stories. It's just not a feasible request.

Pray tell, about whom are you speaking? Are you even reading this thread?

HAd there been any threats, thinly veiled or overt, the mods would have shut this down.

Fancy already answered you I guess, but the threats were apparently private messaged. I haven't been threatened but have definitely received some pretty nasty PMs. Regardless, it'd be impossible to provide the kind of proof or stats people are looking for. I'll let you guys know if I get hired by some sort of company that publishes studies on how residents behave in Okanagan cities.

I encourage any and all who have had threatening PM'S sent to them to forward them to any of us mods. The offenders will be dealt with swiftly and severely.

I've had similar pm's.

I put them right where they belong...

directly into the trash bin...deleted as insignificant fodder.

:topic:

I have to question is the unsavory 'reputation' some speak of is coming from people AFTER they have

moved here or is that's what 'out there' about Kelowna as a general perception?

Private messages that break the rules should be reported. There is the same little red exclamation mark in the upper right corner just for that. :)
