Though Ooobiedoobie or whatever his name was gave us one of our longest threads in a long time.

My main gripe is the amount of people who continually ask the same questions because they are too idle, or stupid to work out the search function.........

Meow

Is it not classed as discussing PMs? That's why I thought you'd delete it.

i guess you'd have to go into details before the mod trigger finger starts itching..

Meow

Fair point, although I was rather amused that he had to tell me that he had put me on his ignore list - as if I'd be bothered or would care. Oh and he apparently earns more in a week what I earn in a month, which is funnier still.

he was probably trying to impress you...

Pass the pm's to a mod, or Sue, she already moved that Algeria thread.

There's no reason for threatening or abusive pm's to be sent.

Meow

Thanks Bob. I have been in touch with Sue and I think he's been banned now.

This thread has prompted me to go back to avatars of the recently deceased....... when I was doing that, all was well with BE. As long as famous people kept dying, there was no problem...... er.... hang on... er....... oh you know.......

And I have been stalking Alexa for months..... I'm just not very good at it........

Why would you abuse someone by PM. Its not as if you are already best mates..

If someone is a prick, call them a prick on the forum.

Yea, I'm a prick..I know.

Pm sent..

The flavour of the bored has changed, some days it's so slow that i even remember my run ins with Beardman fondly.

TBH I find some of the new posters really rude. ie i'm asking a rather odd question, want a specific answer and no chat. Where's the give and take?

I would contribute more if i could engage more but find i've got little interesting to say on most of the topics.

And, there occasionally the bored does have a tendency to sail into vaguely misogynistic waters, which puts me off.

Alexa

Oh!! A secret stalker!!! Things are getting better and better!

I don't know what misogynistic means but if I have to read one more post from the lesser half of our species I'm going to have to order all the women back in the kitchen.

The Dean

"Misogynistic waters"......... that's a quote from Homer's Odyssey............ Jason and his argonauts sailed through them on the way to Mount Olympus in Crete in search of the Holy Grail..........

to be fair meow, the quality of older posters can be iffy at best lol

In regards to abusive PMs - I don't really see the point, although some people just get off on stirring it up, sad buggers if you ask me but hey ho takes allsorts I guess, if their banter is no good nothing like ignoring them to wind up said twat.

As for cyber stalkers, sadly there generally is a reason they are stalking online- lack of social skills, not an attractive bone in their body, general losers, but hey some people may say the same about people who post on forums...So Alexa, be careful what you wish for!
