That's trolling pure and simple. So much for being an adult eh? No, it isn't (necessarily) trolling. I made the mistake of bringing a lunch to work once which contained bolognese sauce and grated parmesan cheese. When I reheated it, my manager took a whiff and thought a cat died. I will never make the mistake of reheating grated parmesan cheese in an office setting again. It does have an odor and/or taste that repulses a lot of people. And it goes back to my previous post. Most people have issues of intolerance of differing opinions that they need to sort out. Otherwise, everyone will just hate everyone if you expect people to agree with you all the time and be exactly like you and think exactly like you and act exactly like you. If you like parmesan, you don't care who else likes it or who else doesn't like it. You don't care. Who cares?

Comments like that are irrelevant, off-topic and add nothing to the discussion. They're just throwaway lines from a narcissist who wants the story to be about him. When you return the favour he calls you a childish tranny troll. But hey, believe what you want to believe. If you think that mindless drivel is the height of repartee then have at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not really. Trans called me names a 100+ times. I simply called him by his name. Plus Lemsta himself called me names too. So its double standards. They abuse me, i respond they play innocent.

You can't outsmart a master troll. They keep the discussion going long after the horse has been flogged and then you end up getting a warning for bickering. As I said earlier, ignoring is the best option but some things shouldn't be allowed to stand. Eg. complaining about people making up stories about you when you do that yourself, and in a thread about forum negativity no less! You can try to do a snow job on George but it won't work with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily on Transam's team, I was just highlighting the hypocrisy of certain posters who claim that they are victims of childish "abuse" and "trolling" but engage in that sort of behaviour themselves. At least own what you are then maybe you'll get a tiny bit of begrudging respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MangoKorat Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 Despite what I said in an earlier post. This thread illustrates why moderators can sometimes seem a little 'trigger happy'. Reading through the last 20-30 posts (and maybe much further), it must be like trying to keep a bunch of naughty school children in order. Constant sniping and attempts at point scoring. Maybe the forum should consider removing the 'Like' button? - it seems to me as if some people care more about getting a 'Like' than posting a sensible response. In posting this thread @george invited feedback. Most of what's going on now is nothing to do with feedback - its just 'keyboard warrior' stuff and a fair amount is as per the title - toxic and negative. Why behave this way? Is it 'keyboard warrior' - you do it because you can, because you're invisible? I doubt most would make the same comments face to face. If people behaved like this in real life the bars would be battlegrounds. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some toxicity is pointless and childish, but some is the result of differences of opinion, ego clashes. It's too idealistic to expect that all toxicity can be completely eliminated.

Popular Post Kinok Farang Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) This forum is really professional but no fun anymore. 15 years or so ago you could come here guaranteed a good laugh with the members banter and self deprecating stories but now with the moderators such miserable buggars everyone has to watch their p's and q's.This is a grown up forum for Christ's sake.

Admins have more control than moderators. But the biggest issue I have with moderators is more to do with putting the time into the group that’s needed and which parts of the work they do. Thinking about the power thing, occasionally they just need to be reigned in a bit. It happens but it’s rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
