I have noticed recently (although it has probably been happening for a while) certain posters who vehemently condemn a post or poster then their so called followers join in the tirade as well.
It seems to me like childhood bullying, sad really in my opinion.
I have noticed a few names missing who used to post quite frequently.
Hello summer01. It looks as though this thread finished on 4th may. If you hit the 'last hour 'key you will see what has come in recently, or even last day. That will bring up current threads on different forums. Good luck.
Hello, guys. I am a new member here, so i wish i can get alone well with all of you here..If anyone who wants to put forward a different point of view can tell me, I'm very glad...
Hmmm! How to conceal it from the outside world? A password to a secret chamber, like the special interests section of some research libraries, where pornography sensitive texts and artistic pictures are kept?
Maybe just a thread (or whole topic) called "Censored. Abandon hope all ye who enter here" where everyone can rant and swear without being criticised and get whatever they are angry about out of their systems? Anyone of a sensitive disposition would know to avoid it.
I certainly become more intolerant of some things as I get older, need to work on that one. "Couple of decades" ??? I shall be haunting you all by then.
Lona . Were we all like that in our youth, but have now mellowed do you think? Or are people generally more rude outspoken these days? (If so, God help Gransnet in a couple of decades )
And they don't intend to get so angry - it escalates. I suppose the discussion could be shifted bodily into the no-holds-barred padded cell area, but by then the damage has ben done.
I think the 'no holds barred' idea would only work if it was actually a forum, not just a thread. Then people could start threads about specific subjects within that forum. Any among us who don't like that approach to forum posts can just ignore altogether (or pop in for a sneaky read without contributing )
