Play nice!
 
A boring evening here so decided to pay good ole BE a visit - Shocked by the amount of bitching going on - its like being at work! :huh:
What ever happened to the saying ' if you got nothing nice to say then say nothing!'??

Sure isn't the helpful, supportive BE I remember from 4 years ago! :( Shame x

Its just the same site with many of the same posters :confused: some will always be bitchy, some will always live on the edge, some are so nice you want to shake them :lol: Just like real life, work, school......you get all types in all walks of life :)

I think it is 99.9% banter which only the Brits can do, foreigners might find it seems abusive as they do not get the Brits fantastic sense of humor and ability to laugh at ourselves..:sunglasses:

Life is not a bed of roses and people have difference of opinion which creates debate and passionate views. That's how it goes on a public internet forum. Funnily enough I saw a poster whinge the other day that a conversation had got out of hand and she's usually the biggest culprit. Almost all her posts are agressive!:lol:

If we put things into perspective it's only a very small percentage of conversations where things get heated so hardly anything major to worry about:blink:

Agree. And it's good that people are not afraid to open up it's all about moderation I guess and sometimes agreeing to disagree:sunglasses:
