Online vs. Real World Personalities

[d000hg]

If people drift off without making it clear that they are upset about something - how can anyone make any attempt to improve the situation? You might get the occasional "oh, I wonder where sasguru" is comment, but it's not going to make any changes to the forum.

If enough people actually make a point of highlighting that they are unhappy about something, then something might be done about it. It's the equivalent of not voting and then complaining about those in power.

If they are unhappy they can stop posting, and email those in charge. Like how you can write the government or write your MP if you want to complain about the government. Making a "look at me" post is farcical. I doubt admins/mods even SEE all the random posts and threads about it.

In real life you might see a petition as a more public complaint, but vocal CUK members can't take the ego hit of signing someone else's petition and all have to start their own.

Eloquently put Clippy, but if anyone finds an element of 'clique busting' in MF's attack on toolpusher then I will be gob struck.
Picking on SuitYou - sheesh , come on.

One of your first posts when you came back to this forum was to have a go at my ex-wife, do you remember that? You're a typical bully, you don't like it when you get some back!

No I don't. I don't believe thats true.

Show me the post, and if it's properly personal, i'll quit the site forever & get Admin to cancel my account otherwise you apologise.

Is there an echo in this cave?

Why has your wife got her legs open Churchill?

Thought I hadn't. That's pretty weak

You can PM me the apology is you're too embarassed to post it on the board.

I want this to stop.

Now.

You are both valued members of this forum, though each may not think it.

Step back - you are both quits now.

I'd call it offensive.
