Why do some of us take posts in general so seriously?

[Diver]

My sincerest apologies for apologising

[BlasterBates]

awwww.......I was enjoying that ding dong....

Nothing like a healthy personal slagging match thinly disguised as a political debate.

Gr8 to post ill though out and unresearched ideas and defend them to the hilt, with references to tabloid newspapers....

I mean isn't that what this forum is about?

Problem was it was getting out of hand. I was Not slagging anybody off and was Not taking the debate/argument seriously, but someone else was. I was given -rep and the threat to "back off. seriously" as well as being sworn at and called foul names.
I have broad shoulders (BP will confirm) so I don't take threats seriously or to heart, but anybody driven to the above, and who still holds a grudge from a debate 3 years ago really has some serious emotional issues to contend with that may very well be as a result of some personal problem in real life, and if so the guy has my deepest sympathy as I've been there. If so being on the losing end of a debate must be extremely frustrating and emotionally painful for the person. I do not hold a grudge, and would quite happily buy the guy a pint and have a laugh over this. I really do appologise for taking the p!ss and will in future avoid any debate with those that get too involved in what should be lighthearted banter. Life's too short etc..............................

(Sometimes I even have to google a response if I don't know enough on the subject).

So you are saying trolling is educational? Nice one.

I'm sorry but you will never find me apologizing.

Sounds mild for general. It is when you get invited to Bridgwater you know you are in trouble. Unless its Spod doing the invite - I heard at the last drinks Wilmslow gave him a good pasting......

On an anonymous forum…

Perhaps the irate punter should use the 'logout' facility and get some fresh air and smell the roses.

Who was it then?

[Scoobos]

What I don't get is why stoke the fire more.. Surely posting a thread thats a very thinly veiled continuation of the argument is just trying to annoy the other person even more.

Lets all go out and play kiss catch or something.

Specifically in general?
