Yes, you are right, there are some things best kept in your head......some people will not be of the same opinion, feeling that it is best to 'tell it like it is'.
Everyone monitors their own behaviour. Some just do it better than others. (and I am referring to no-one in particular here).
oooohhhhhhhh well between threats of violence and look how many post's you got to me, all I can say is...your a very sad bunch of people. I will no longer be contributing to this thread, but I wont be going away. Nor will I be reporting the threat of violence, cause it is only an internet forum after all. But people are entitled to their own opinions, again YOU LOT show your true colours, and shoot down anyone who dare say anything against the consensus.
goodnight all.
goodnight all.
so what is my true colours then?
i dont shoot down people .. first of all i dont have a gun second even if you'd seen me shoot a gun then you'd know the safest place is to stand in front of the target .. its anywhere else that you'd be running for your life!!!! who says for you to go away ... theres only two persons who can say that .. .and thats the owner of the website or yourself .. you can be banned for awhile by the mods but thats your own lookout ..

It is a forum open to the public, as long as we abide by the rules laid down by the owner.
The same owner who's said on more than one occasion that karma is meant to be a bit of fun, and that he enjoys people's reactions to it.
Well, he's said it when people have started bleating about it in the past.
Is 'consensus' the same as Mafia?
Perhaps I might have better luck joining the Accy Web Consensus, because I keep getting my application turned down for the Mafia.
Even odder, someone, no names, was defending one of our more immature members, no names again, when she was mouthing off, oop....mean posting, that it was perfectly acceptable to dress up as Madeline McCann at a student party.

Very gallant.
Deserves karma, that does.

Odders, you talk about childish behaviour, and then you exhibit that behaviour by lumping all of the Accyweb members into one category 'YOU LOT' and name calling (a very sad bunch of people).
And yes, people are entitled to their own opinions, and most of us are independent minded enough to form our own opinions...we don't have to go with the concensus of opinion we make our own. No-one shoots anyone down, we just exercise our right to voice an opinion...if that is different from the one which you hold...then get over it.
As you say it is only and internet forum, not real life.
Because this has been brought to my attention I think I should probably say something.
I don't know who odders is, so he isn't posting at my request to defend me or anything like that. To be honest, I've heard some disgusting things about this forum recently, things which have made a very popular and well loved member not post on here any more.
I am quite happy for you all to criticise me, I expect it. But what I don't like to hear is that people are being offended for no good reason. If that is acceptable behaviour to you, and it is clear that it is for most of you, then I think you should perhaps question your own values and statements before you criticise others.

I think you should look a bit closer to home to place the blame for offending people. You seem to manage it in nearly every post you make. So maybe you should be questioning your own values instead of preaching to everybody else.
I haven't made any long term members of this forum leave though, and I didn't do it through my own ignorance and fecklessness.
I come on here to wind people up intentionally, I don't always say what I honestly believe, but some people were ignorant enough to really upset someone and probably aren't even aware of how offensive they actually are.
Accrington is a bit of a joke, how can you expect me to take it seriously?
Can't remember reading any mournful threads about a ' very popular and well loved member' not posting anymore.
Care to name them?
Then everyone could say a collective apology, and beg them to come back.
Personally I feel a lot of valued members left when this forum was it was hijacked/taken over the other summer by the Jerry Springer Show. Especially the endless parent/child reunion thread, which corect me if I'm wrong contained many threats of violence.
Blazey, what you do is come on here to offend people......you may call it something else, but believe me that is what you do......and what is more you are proud of it.....proud enough to state that that is what you intend to do.
It seems that all of us on here are out of step except you.
You have heard bad things about Accyweb have you? and you believe everything you hear?
And while you may not have made any long term members leave Accyweb(as if that is something to be proud of) you have made enough barbed comments to wound quite a few.
And as for not knowing Odders......who said you did know him?
(methinks the lady doth protest too much)

I think the long term member Blazey is refering to is Willow (I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm wrong). As for admitting that she comes on here just to "wind people up" I think that says a lot about her mentality. I would feel very sad if I thought that winding people up was a way of relieving my boredom. What a sad thing to admit about yourself!!!!
I don't think the 'long term member' that Blazey is talking about is Willow - she used 'he' and Willow is not a he.
I think she's refering to a member who studies politics and who was made a moderator then decided to use his new found power to edit some posts that people thought he shouldn't have edited. This caused a big argument and I don't think he's posted since.

If you're right, he was much loved, because his mummy loved him.
Oh, yes he was much loved - Blazey said so.
