Is that your attempt at being nasty? a mouthdul of bile?
P.S. If you're sticking around here long-term, referencing avatars is never wise, if they're oft changed. It makes your posts look more unhinged than ever, to any future viewer.
No Garinda, I don't do nastiness, or bile or venom. Nastiness is in the eye of the beholder.Although your woeful attemp at nastiness must be applauded, for at least being more accurate them some guff.
You know of course to what I am referring, and others if they wish may look it up, or find it hilarious without knowing what I really mean, as some have done. I was merely congratulating you on a more tasteful avatar than usual, and yes I know it will be gone soon enough, but then so will this thread if it continues like others have done recently.

I look at it this way if your willing to state your opinion on here you have to be willing to take the flack / nastiness that may come back. Its only words, having said that i do have skin like a rhino.Life is to short to worry about a few words typed by someone with a different view to yours even if you may think its nasty, as my rugby coach used to say "get a grip mary anne".
I must say that when I first joined Accyweb about twelve months ago I had a lot of nasty comments about what I had to say, and got quite upset about it. It was the first time I had ever posted anything anywhere and wasn't really sure what to do, and didn't expect the response I got. But after that I must say everyone has been fine and I really enjoy seeing what everyone has to say and responding if I have something to say. (I remember my tutor at uni telling me I was a bigot and I've tried to mend my ways over the last couple of decades!) Perhaps it's worth remembering that new members aren't always experienced in the etiquette of internet posting and grant them a bit of slack when they start posting, unless they're completely offensive?
A very good point. I applaud and Green Coloured K will follow(prob in 24 hours time)
But more so for long term members to school them in the rules rather than ridicule them.

I post this, knowing some may disagree with me, but I think it needs saying, so I will.
No one, as far as I know, is forced to either read, nor publish anything on the worldwide web.
People are free to have whatever thoughts and beliefs they wish.
However, and this is where a few struggle, if someone feels a need to share their thoughts publicly with others, they should be prepared for the fact that others may offer counterviews to their own.
Once the few realise this, there'll be no more teary tantrums, or need for collective wound licking.
Being an optimist, and a bit of a softy, I hope the day comes when this realisation takes place, and the miserable few find some sort of peace in their lives.

I always think of a forum like this as going to the pub. Would you walk up to a group of strangers and start rambling or would you get to know who's who first ?
Maybe a good scenario..but at the same time would you expect one of the regulars to start slagging you off and make unfounded accusations about you or your family?.. how would you respond to that person in the pub?
As for myself, it was only last week that I posted the modus operandi I've always followed on here, and which I tend to follow in life too, and which has always stood me in good stead.
Though being kind, to those who struggle reading what's already been said, I'll repeat it.
Nice people, are treated ever so nicely, and with respect.
Conversely, if someone on here, in my opinion, is unnecessarily nasty, pompous, rude, patronising, or whatever, to anyone, then they'll get a taste of their own medicine...with an added dose of poison thrown in for good measure. Sometimes fatally so.
If anyone feels I've ever been rude to them, that's because I've first seen similar rudeness exhibited by them.
This is how I've operated, and will carry on, because there's always a few who haven't quite grasped this.
Or even realised just how good I am at doling out the prescripted doses.
So instead of clutching at straws, making weak claims that the drugs I take for Parkinson's have somehow changed me, take a look back through some of my old posts.
You'll clearly see there's been absolutely no change.
Nor will there be.

Kind of interesting view. But myself I don't think that view fits. I suppose that depends on the kind of person you are.
Take me for example. I couldn't(more than wouldn't) walk up to a group of strangers in a pub. Seriously that is something I simply cannot do. That kind of thing comes naturally for some.
But. It is dead simple for me to join a forum and introduce myself. In a pub there isn't a board where you can print a note and pin it up saying "Hi my name is Restless. I like Computers, Technology and I am a pretentious singer-songwriter wannabee. Pleased to meet you"

I am happy being the lone wolf.
Hey never knew you were the "Wolf".. you should have said earlier..

It was only a scenario, I don't drink so rarely go in a pub
Nah. It almost makes sense here. Not for all forums. But here. Here some of the 'Clique' for want of a better term know each other personally or "in the pub" so to speak. So for newbies here to face them. It is a little like going into the pub as you say.

Yeh but point here is simple, most that now know one another didn't before accyweb fact, Most of us got to know each other by turning up at accyweb meets n meeting folk who had very different points of view on certain subjects, We were all newbies at some point,but no-ones ever come to blows in fact most have become good mates who still disagree on certain issues n always will, Its mainly namby pambys,moaners, n tarts that don't mix in my view, one day perhaps the penny will drop n they may just get a life.Nah.

I don't often drink but often go in a pub!
Snap.
That's true.
We're all different, and the world's a better place for it.
Pesonally I've always felt I have the right to speak out and say something, if I believed it to be right, and felt it needed to be said.
Plus, I've never been shy, though I do always assess an environment, before deciding how best to broach it, so as to have my say...and ensure that it's heard.
I received my first death threat aged fifteen, for publicly attacking a sorry arse little man, who was actively involved with fascism, and stood in local General Elections here, and in Blackburn for the National Front.
He didn't get the better of me, because I believed what he spouted was wrong. So a few moaning minnies on here, who are equally wrong in my opinion, have no chance.
Yes, we are all different.
I have my elephant skin, a perky trunk, and a very long memory.
Others don't.
In the great scheme of things there's no definitive right, or wrong.
Just differences, which are equally right, to those that believe they are.
OK go back to the first post..Burnley and such webs did not survive because they did not have enough members ..the reason Accy Web has grown is because of members signing up on a regular basis..that means new members ..it makes me laugh when older members welcome newbies in the introduction thread and then slam em on their first posts..
