How Thin Is Your Skin?

[tinfoilhat]

I would prefer the forum is used for worthwhile, constructive and informative articles and responses

It is very annoying reading through trolls and stupid moron's replies.

I feel it is childish to try and wind people up especial;ly when you don't know them.

However I have to accept there are those who use this forum as light entertainment who seem to have a very low IQ and have no intention of trying to help another forum member but just take the p**s.

I think its great that members of Mensa such as your goodself find time to discuss these sorts of things with us plebs on TV and give us your wisdom oh great one...

No I am not a member of mensa but would suggest that my IQ is rather higher than a lot members on TV.

I never expected anything less from the replies I have recieved from my OP, I think it just proves my point.

I have been a member of an Ex Pat forums in other countries and never have I seen such childish replies.

If someone wants to have a laugh or joke or play a game at someones else's expense then why not go to the 'joke and games ' section.

Yes I can laugh and joke around with the best, but what annoys me is a member will sometimes start a resonable OP

only to be replied with stupid (many times off topic) replies where all one was doing was asking or giving advice.

Would many of the TV members give the same response to someone who is standing in front of them?

I think not, but it is ok to hide behind a keyboard.

Yes, I now await more idiotic replies. But one thing I am sure of is that my OP and this post will not improve the standard on TV.

Sometimes it is too late to grow up.

i think you are having a go. good for you.

Did you know that given the space pigs crap at the opposite end of the pen to their drinking water

How come they have earned such a bad reputation on matters of personal hygiene! Are you saying it's just a malicious form of pigism!

Indeed....a bad rap....promoted in their ignorance by those that do not know pigs......however there is correctness in the phrase 'eating like a pig'......they are very noisy at feeding time

I invite you not agree that it is pompous rather than intelligent to tell a group of people you have recently met that you believe your level of intelligence is rather higher than theirs.

I further invite you to agree that your perception of TV and the purpose it serves is simply one of a number of differing views.

The people you criticise may in fact be very intelligent but they don't conduct themselves in a way that you approve of and their motivation for being TV members may be different to your own.

TV members are clearly an heterogeneous mix of people, markedly more heterogeneous than you would meet in a club back home. Your status on TV is contingent on the quality of your postings. I believe that most people on TV enjoy the cut and thrust of the humor and most people seeking advice get a measure of genuine help.

You need to adjust to the climate!

Quote: 'your status on TV is contingent on the quality o your postings'

Say no more as I have already said it!

p.s. I have not 'recently met' these people.

I have never 'met' these people as you have implied.

if I knew them personally then yes it is ok to banter, take the piss and joke with them if the occassion warrants it.

Pormax: " if I knew them personally then yes it is ok to banter, take the piss and joke with them if the occassion warrants it."

This is your rule so don't be surprised if there are those who are hostile to someone coming along and creating their own rules.

You have "met" everyone you have interacted with on the thread, the thread is the meeting place.

Quality is not always the intellectual dimension of quality.

The first time we get a pork scratchings thread, and even the OP can't be bothered posting on topic. What is the world coming to?

You do realise that by reacting like that and rising to the bait you're effectively putting a target on your back,don't you?

When I was younger, we had a bit of trouble with the boys with targets on their backs. I guess some folks just can't leave their lambrettas behind them....It's all a bit quadrophenic... I'd say more, but we can't discuss them for finding ourselves a bit Cliff Richards

That pormax guy has you lot sorted.

Whats a 'mensa'?

Mensa is the Italian word for Toilet. It is derived from the Latin "Menses" (menstruation). Toilets were originally built as small rooms for Ladies to clean themselves during menstruation and the word has passed down in Italian

Here is an example of it in Italian.
