Could be wrong, unlikely obviously ;)but I think people hold back far more now than they used to. We went through a stage when very sensitive flowers complained constantly about how others 'talked/typed' that it's put people off and they tend to think 'oh sod it I can't be arsed' and just say what they believe and be prepared to discuss/argue their point without resorting to aggressive and/or rude comments.

You're all a pack of wankers, except for Eddie, she's lovely, and Rasen and Kym, would never call a lady a wanker.

HOW you say something, IMO says a lot about the person, not just what they are saying. Some people can appear incredibly condescending, or just plain rude when they are putting their POV across.

I post as I am in RL. I endeavour to be polite, forthright when required, but still respecting the right others have to their opinions (even if they are quite obviously wrong :sneaky:).

Treat others as you wish to be treated.

No, generally I don't think we do.

Look at the forum for instance. Those considered on the edge like Amazulu and Grayling tend to say what they want irrespective of backlash. Yet are they really on the outer extremes? I think not.

Decorum may rule the majority but I'm sure both have many who agree with their views but don't necessarily voice their feelings.

So are we Wusses?


I love them both BTW :thumbup:
They can't help being half wrong, half of the time.:lol:

I agree, it's how you say something, not what you say.






We might not all agree on a matter and that's absolutley fine, it's when people feel the need to be nasty or bitchy about it, there's just no need for that kind of behaviour in my opinion. I often wonder if the people who do get nasty and bitchy on here would actually be like that in real life. I bet not.




Treat people with respect and you'll get the respect back. End of!
