With respect, brush up on your English, prol being prolific members et al.

That's not very nice, is it?  Having a dig at (potentially) someones lack of education or command of English is considered to be a pretty low blow, not just on here but in any online community.  However, on the basis that you've made up a meaning for a word to suit your own purpose it suggests it may be the inverse, as in it's you that need to brush up on English

It seems some people truly believe that their opinion, as an expat living there, is of greater value than the opinions of others.

To be fair, I think we're seeing less of that attitude than we used to.  Maybe something to do with the exodus over the past few years of folks heading for other countries and back to the UK resulting in far fewer members actually being resident full time in the Fethiye area.

It's not a blog. In most cases it's a post. However, in your case it's a whinge.  :)

I would agree we see less of it these days overall but would suggest that as the numbers reduce, the expats who exhibit this trait believe it more as they stay out longer.

Possibly.  At least for the time being (thankfully) we have a good number of local residents who don't have that attitude and are just happy to help other members and participate without discriminating.

True, and most of those who think they are superior due to being resident there have already stormed off CBF when people didn't show them the extra respect they felt they were due 8)

I have noticed an increased number of postings on CBF in relation to the reduced number of postings on CBF.

With any luck the reduction will continue to increase until we reach saturation point. At that point we should all point to the person responsible for the increase in the reduction and ask them what their point was.
