Probably irregular low paid jobs, which generate a lack of self esteem, which generates an urge to belittle others, to make themselves feel more important.

Well I'm not the highest paid contractor in the world, nor am I the most self-assured, but my mum didn't drag me up to treat people like that. Where the hell do they get off? I know 'it's only a bulletin board' at the end of the day, and you'll always get trolls (sorry Troll), but what complete %£^&*$&£$ planks.

Hi folks. There's a poll in General needs your attention

Specifically in General?

[BrowneIssue]

off to lakeside so kids can see father XMAS. And buy outfit for my son who is a sausage in the school play!

Is a satisfactory explanation even remotely possible?

Many of us say things in jest that can be misconstrued as malicious, I myself have done so, to my eternal shame and utter embarrassment.
Some of the comments/post's that were aired in general yesterday, could be considered unintentionally malicious.
Some people however were clearly intent on posting malicious comments.

So where is everybody?

Surely they can't all have gone off to watch the handbag-waving in General...

Specifically in General?

I know - in txt we can be easily mis-read, and a lot of the spats are just misunderstandings. See my addendum to the post in General for what really wound me up.

Whatever happens, those of us who were not here at the start can't win.

You get told off for banter in General (specifically), and told to take it to TPD. You post in TPD and then people moan that "TPD isn't as good as it used to be - there are too many people in there" (Yes, Xen and wendigo, I mean you!!).

So, what is one supposed to do? Those that want the board as it was, really should set their own up and not allow anyone else in. Things change and move on. The attraction of a forum is that people can join, post, discuss, etc. and this may not be in a style that you are used to, or even like. However, that is the nature of the internet, and fora in particular. I never used to post anything in General or Light Relief, purely because I didn't feel that it was exactly a welcoming environment. When I was banned, there were posts that suggested that things like chat, banter and discourse should be put in TPD - so when I came back, that's exactly what I did.

And now, that's not good enough, either. TPD isn't what it used to be. You're right, I for one will not disagree with that. There are more people here for a start. However, I certainly find it a friendlier and nicer place to post than anywhere else on CUK - so what if you can't read every post (and some manage it!)? I'd rather have some degree of friendship and discussion than silence here.

Words are not enough.

(but in a manly way, of course.)
