Poll: Do You Fear Posting Because Many Posts Are Hostile?

[transam]

Mostly it's just banter, taking le piss, sprekun de bullshit amongst a bunch of bored Internet expats.

Ocasionally you get the odd nut job or language based miscommunication.

But part of the fun, ignore the idiots and if you feel your being bullied, try living with my missus.She can scare the nuts of a brass monkey.

The ones I fear the most are the spelling and grammar police.The satisfaction they seem to get from pulling a half arsed post apart that I type whilst sitting in the pool is un nerving.

Best way to deal with them is reply with more errors, drives em to distraction.

I always stand out from the crowd. ''Look mum a farang'', reminds me of Yogi Bear, ''Look at the bear, look at the bear''.

That's true. Too much focus is given to the bad stuff...99% of posts are civil. Let's celebrate that fact. With a few wee drinkies....

Then see what happens....

No we are being watched by them!

[MrMuddle]

i can understand some people being reluctant to post, there are several cliques in some of the forums, who seem to verbally attack / ridicule/ give abuse to posters who have different views to their own. Me, I don't give a sh*te - if people want to waste hours of their days, trying to change my mind on anything, that's up to them, my views never change.

On the positive side, there are some wonderful folks who post on here as well, who are helpful, polite, humourous, and informative.

[PaullyW]

Well, I've checked out some of the other sub forums, and they are just boring as hell. So, I guess I better suck it up.

Good thread. I do not fear them.

I just wish they would go somewhere else. The good posters outweigh the bad ones.

Never understood quite why some sweaties prefer a female protagonist over a bag of smack or a battered mars bar.

Just a reminder of the.forum rules: not to discuss moderation

Do You Fear Posting Because Many Posts Are Hostile?

If you substitute ignorant for hostile, you might be a little closer to the truth.

well, we have seen TV's rapidly emerging nature of geriatric fanboys and cliques. It was only a matter of time before the retirees took over.

Hey tinfoilhat ... you really a rage against the machine sort of poster ... but I've seen your gentler side.

But what makes you so angry?

I know you could reply posters like me make you ... but that's just a throw away line and forgotten by most as quick as it took you to write it

Why the bile?

[phuturatica]

Always remember that this is the internet... Don't take it too seriously.

Forums are like school playgrounds. You gotta establish yourself and get in with the cool kids in order not to get bashed.

Also I think writing such a negative post attracts negativity and more hostility. Lighten up a little and get used to a little internet banter.

what i think i dislike most about posters like Dave48 is that i suspect he actually believes something to this effect.

What is interesting tinfoilhat is that you decide to take the negative approach to most things you post.

Sure, I could have posted a caustic comment about you or what I perceive you to be.

But what's the point? In the end ... that's a dead end street.

Oh, BTW ... bash away ... it bothers me none.

[smokie36]

I'd like to know which poster it is you fear the most? If you feel you can't share it here feel free to send me a PM.

In the strictest confidence of course.

The posters that are at one with Thai's outweigh everyone else.
