Forum fall outs!!

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

It amazes me that the majority of threads I read on here end up in a slanging match, why can't people just get on these days? It's the same everywhere! People going out their way to cause a fall out or put someone down!

Bullying, abusing and insulting people is so common now and on social media it's getting out of control!

Can we try and keep this thread just a nice happy loving thread we're we all just love each other and smile and be happy with ourselves and those around us

If not I'm packing a bag and going to a remote island who's coming????

I can't remember the last time I fell out with anyone on the Forums, years ago probably.

I disagree with some but that's cool as they have a different opinion from me and I respect that.

But I do get irritated when people tell me I need to be a happy clap person.

I've learnt that if I strongly disagree with something on a forum I will tend to ignore it....

It's the age old if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all attitude. Whilst my comments would never be nasty I wouldn't want to start any gripes with the lovely people on here...

I disagree with a few on here - we don't fall out as I don't know them. I can respect a difference of opinion. If it's deliberately derogatory and uses unnecessarily cruel language, I'll call them on it. I don't see why I should be all light and sprinkles though - I'm not like that in real life so why should I pretend to be something I'm not on here?

I think personally much the same as someone else has just stated. If I really disagree with what's been posted then most of the time I just ignore the thread. I'm not here for any fall outs or to cause any animosity. Doesn't make for a very nice atmosphere for me. There are times that I do comment but try and put my _iew in the nicest way possible so as not to be antagonistic in my approach

Fuck off, typical single bloke comment

Yes they can do. I must admit, I have lost my temper a bit on one just now, but it has been pulled, so I don't feel to bad about being angry on that one.

In general it would be better if people tried to listen a bit more

People lack self awareness and few share the same perception. What is aggression, mean spirited or insulting to o e person is another person's hilarious banter.

Unfortunately I've seen the word banter used to describe what is actually bullying on here at times.

I'm not talking about anyone on this thread.

Bullying, abusing and insulting people is so common now and on social media it's getting out of control!

Can we try and keep this thread just a nice happy loving thread we're we all just love each other and smile and be happy with ourselves and those around us

If not I'm packing a bag and going to a remote island who's coming????

sorry OP but its an open forum, and we don't have to agree with everything that's posted just for the sake of a quiet life..

the reason I enjoy using the forums is because people have differing _iews and some are not afraid to air them ...

thank god for diversity in all things

I don't do, and never have done any name calling...

I leave that to others ...they tend to do it so much better than me

i am sorry abuse is tolerated on here, two topics that always receive abuse are 'married men playing away' and 'BDSM' .

i have seen people be chased off this site, on both counts. no you dont need to be kindred spirits, what people need to learn is some respect for others lifestyles and learn to mind their own business, if they dont like it for themselves.

so i do say it...rather loudly..

"I can't remember the last time I fell out with anyone on the Forums, years ago probably.

I disagree with some but that's cool as they have a different opinion from me and I respect that.

But I do get irritated when people tell me I need to be a happy clap person.

I've also been known to disagree with people I actually like on here, some of whom I have met. Falling out presupposes terminating a pre-existing relationship (of sorts) because of a thread or succession of posts so in that case I have never fallen out with anyone. There are people I know I would never get on with on the basis of their forum posts but I still tend to disagree politely; there is no point getting mithered personally by someone having an opinion I consider idiotic. I can only think of one specific occasion where words on a forum properly hurt my feelings. So I just logged off and regained my perspective before re-entry.

There is a difference between banter, discussion and abuse - some people get very personal and that is crossing the line for me. I love to hear different opinions and may make me change mine - that is what life is all about. I love the politics forum - as there are some really diverse _iews in there.

i don't see fallouts... i see strong people with strong opinions, i see people who will defend positions i don't agree with, I get to comment on them as much as the next person.....

"I seem to remember a thread when op 1st joined that could have been a form of putting others down.

I certainly don't put others down, I might have opinions but I'll NEVER be personal and rude about anyone as I wouldn't like it done to me!

however... the key word is perception...

in your eyes you don't.... in other peoples eyes you may have done exactly that....

so glad you agreed OP...

because it is your "perception" of what you think in happened...

i don't see fallouts... i see strong people with strong opinions, i see people who will defend positions i don't agree with, I get to comment on them as much as the next person.....

i do see some people who take every dissagreement like some sort of "act of war"... i do see some people who like to play "victim" very quickly...

I do see people who like "oh woe is me".....

but all of the above is again my perception"

I love avoid discussion but when people start getting personal it gets out of hand, anyway I've learnt it's best to ignore and move on

I'm not saying people shouldn't air their _iews I'm talking about people who are just being personally insulting to each other and it turns into a slanging match.

Just report it and one of the mods or Admin will get their whip out

A whip? Is it a soft leather one?

How naughty do I have to be to get whipped?

It depends who you are and who you know ... some people get away with a lot more than others. If you have had a 'fall out' with someone who likes to report often, then it's likely you'll fall foul of the system more often

I do get surprised at the level of abuse/outrage on some threads. A minority do seem to trawl threads looking for something to take offence at/looking for a row!

As I don't argue for the sake of it in real life then I won't do that on the forums!

Whilst I value the fact that people should be able to express different points of _iew on any topic - I think the way it's done is occasionally unpleasant/unkind!

I tend to stick to the 'happy' threads unless a more contentious/thought provoking thread comes up on which I have a strong point of _iew - then I'll try to express it without causing offence to others!

Is that why my bum's often sore from the naughty step?

"call me cynical (I don't mind, as I am) but I'm wondering how many would be agreeing with the OP if he was a middle aged person with a dad bod...

I haven't looked at the OP's pics. I don't agree or disagree with anyone based on their appearance.

What's a dad bod?????

A body that isn't muscular, with a paunch or bit of meat.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Like your dad might have.

My dads afine figure of a man

ha ha "

My dad then

I am much more argumentative in real life than on the forums .... lots of things to challenge people on. Not argumentative in a bad way, just like a good discussion but hard to have on here without it getting personal so I have taken a back seat over the last week to take stock of it all and whether this is the best place to be
