FTFY

Since the OP has flounced, I'm moving this to general.

The original post was a good idea, but needed refining to clarify and correct. Unfortunately the OP didn't like being challenged by others, so deleted it.

you actually talk to your wife about interactions on this forum?
Those long winter evenings must just fly by.

Dunno why that's odd. I speak to his wife about it as well.

I used to share with my fella the funnies that Greenlake posted, until he left us.

Your fella has left?

So predictable.

I did consider editing to state the fella hadn't left (yet) but thought I'd see who piped up

I agree about your reason for being risk averse, but if various posters are overtly aggressive and unpleasant in professional forums, a member finding themselves in an apparently inescapable situation and looking desperately for advice may be scared away and never find the help and support they were looking for - which could be the difference between them tackling that insurmountable obstacle or just giving up on it all, possibly giving up on life as well. That would be a very nasty case of someone reading what the poster says and doing something we'd all regret later, so it cuts both ways.

Like other posters, I see that CUK can be toxic, with a select small clique of mouthy keyboard warriors, which can be funny in the right place but isn't appropriate in forums where people go to try and get helpful input on what they see as a real problem. As I have a thick skin I just ignore the clowns and filter out the useful information, but not everyone has that ability, particularly if they're going through a crisis.

In short - if you're going to be a tw@t, do it in the right place. The professional forums are where people go for help, not mockery.

None of this aimed at you Eek, just that your post seemed a suitable one to hang the reply on.

Quite.

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Post In Here

If you want a professional answer, then post in the professional forums not in a fecking bear garden.

I never look in the professional forums.
