Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
just seems like it over the last few months

that people postin and creating topics just to do an argument etc

there's so much personal baggage people are bringing on here and its gettin less and less enjoyable

esp some of them seem to aiming to get personal

They come, they whinge, they argue, they get banned or leave and AccyWeb goes on.

There's plenty of other stuff too.

Personally I like a good debate with different viewpoints and if people are very firm in their convictions it can get a bit heated but as long as it doesn't degeneerate into petty name calling and trolling I think it livens things up.

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
but there's a difference between a good debate/listening to other people's points of views and some of the stuff that goes on here....

Good for you Willow. There's nowt wrong with having a "Pop" at someone now and again.

Yep totally agree Mani, but the latest seems to have drifted over now.

Most of us like the debate element - sometimes agreeing with the people that we're disagreeing with in another thread - but it's when it gets personal that it all disintegrates.

There are some people who will make a joke out of anything but when you're new to the forum it's hard to see whether it's a joke or an insult. So often new members get offended or insulted by comments made to them and they take it personally then get defensive and sometimes insulting.

When I joined I had a couple of run ins with a few people because I didn't 'get' them - unfortunately now I do and often dream back to those halcyon days when I was unsullied by this forum. :D

I miss the goodbye cruel world threads, more than the fashionable for this week, moaning about moaners threads.:D

forums were created to share opinions on different topics and current issues. they were designed to discuss and in some cases debate.

the things that go on here are really light compared to some other forums. Your lucky accyweb is a small forum compared to international ones, THEY get loads of really heated arguments and its much worse.

garinda 26-06-2007 16:11

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
I much prefer Accy Web to other local forums, were the most heated topics of the day seem to be what they've all had for tea, or why their day is so rubbish.:D

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
Mani mate its a forum, thats what happens lol, things n people come n go, i argue with many people on some things n agree with the same folk on others,its called "life":)

WillowTheWhisp 26-06-2007 19:22

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
I argue about topics. I don't argue about people unless those people resort to trolling and being personal about others.

Moaning is what we do best. It's a national pastime.

I think I personaly will take your WORLDLY knowledge of larger forums blazey.:p

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
She's right. There are some American ones which move so fast your posts get lost - but that can also be down to not splitting into sub forums for different types of topic.

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
I've also noticed it takes some a while to kinda get used to what Accyweb is about. Hence I've seen members adjust how they come across.

(LOL) I remember there used to be this guy, let's call him Mr. Merlot, who was always getting himself in trouble. He seemed to relish it. Man did he used to tick people off. LOL

However, he has now become a gentle kitty kat. Sharing his message of peace, love, and understanding! So, there is hope for all eh?

Brian (chin chin) LOL LOL

Still drinking the stuff Brian, as you know my best work is always done with the help of good old Merlot. Who loves you baby. Chin Chin. Ian.:D)

Nah, we all just got used to Mr. Grumpy and we're quite fond of him now.

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
Lol larger forums are definatly worse, and as a young student i'm a member of LOADS lol for allsorts of different things. I've recently joined a student one and there are much worse arguments going on there and you wouldnt know where to start, they have a thread for everything and anything.

I'm also part of a reptile forum and they whinge and whinge and are really difficult to explain simple things to, like why you cant steal someones dog just because you think its right :rolleyes:

Those are my biggest two forums at the moment. The student one is massive though and hugely international, and if u think i'm an opinionated student you shout meet some of them lol. I'm quiet on forums compared to some of them!

If these INTERNATIONAL forums are so attracive blazey, pray enlighten us rather poorly educated ageing hacks on accyweb , why you spend so much time on here:confused:.

I'd rather have a good argument than a bad one anyway. ;)

Corker. Tried to give you karma, but I've been too generous today.

Lol they have an 'off-topic' thread where they whinge about the same type of stuff as this forum actually.

I dont recall saying anything about me personally feeling the student forum was more attractive either Ian, I said they are very popular as they are for STUDENTS, which is an international audience, where as Accy, isnt quite so international. If you have a problem with me please feel free to relieve yourself to me via PM, please dont try to start an argument here. Your just making yourself look desperate for action.

Lol and you should speak to my chameleon about catching bugs with his tongue, he always misses first time round :D

I'll do that. He often pops into the Crown for a swift half, while you're out.

Re: Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?
 
Just think how boring it would be if we all agreed.

I enjoy the debates on here, the flaming and trolling is uncalled for and just downright nasty. If you disagree with someones point of view then answer that don't go making personal comments or such as that just means you have lost the argument.

BTW Wynonie loved the reptile comment...... brilliant.

Be handy when he has had a skinful, he can change it and start again from sober :)
