I cannot believe Dawlish is enjoying himself on weather groups, two of which he has been chucked off, as he would have been from here if it were moderated. He may well be very good and professional at the job he does because he is in a position of authority and can tell teachers what is required, and having engaged him they will be grateful. But on this group he is a long way down the pecking order in terms of meteorological knowledge which to me seems skimpy and shallow despite his blustery efforts to convince us otherwise. He simply cannot handle his modest status on this group. I would imagine that would also be the case in any other co-operative activity in which he was not the big cheese, such as the jazz Big Band I play in. He would be telling the band leader and those in the section what's what and he would be out in no time. It happens. Unfortunately it can't happen here. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

Like all bullies he's insecure and wants the world (weather?) to revolve around him. I generally try to take no note of him. The oxygen of any troll (bully) is acknowledgement.

This mockery, now out in the open, must get to him. Yes, even him. And I did draw attention to the vast difference between his internet personality and his apparent professional one and the possible reasons for it. The thing to do is to not reply to any of his posts, something I have occasionally done, thinking he had toned down the bullying. It won't happen again. Promise. From now on, rigorous ignoral. I had an email from Alan White, mostly about the weather but which ended "Keep up the fight". Enemies everywhere. We will win!

I reckon you bought more rounds!? Joe No, actually Lawrie bought *me* a drink, whereas he himself was on Coke as he said he'd been drinking at home (red wine) and might have another when he got back. He was not drunk, not in the slightest, and nor was I, for essential motoring reasons. I live 12 miles from Beautiful Downton Sydenham, London SE9. I've mentioned in emails to certain people that Lawrence is considerably more self-effacing than you might have thought and is genuinely upset at the current row. Unlike Dawlish, he doesn't pretend to know more than he does, either personally or in print. It makes me really angry that such a person should feel compelled to withdraw in the face of the bullying ratbag Dawlish, who should be ashamed of himself for this and a host of similar offences committed here and elsewhere. But, as Alan Bennett might say, "He won't be, will he?" We simply *must* ignore him. Having met Lawrence, this has really upset me, the injustice of it all. Dawlish, in his alter ego as an Ofsted consultant would, I'm sure, like to see a school's anti-bullying policy. Well, Paul, we've got one here, just for you. It consists of pulling the chain, waving goodbye and breathing a "pwoar, I feel better for that". The smell on the landing will disappear in no time and we can get back to talking about the weather.
