I personally think that some people need to lighten up a little and realise that as a community people are different and sometimes we contribute, sometimes we have a bit of a lark about, and sometimes we just sit and wait for something that interests them.


I try not to contribute on any serious threads any more because people see my name on the thread and they either think, bugger that, I'm not reading it, or they want to try and have a snap at me, and being a reactionary person, I.......well, react.


As I said, people need to chill a little.

As I have said to some of you, without the regulars, this place would die a death!

Matt, I read what you have to say, and I`m sure a lot of others do too. I have nothing to contribute, really, on here with not living or having lived (yet) in Spain. The longest I have ever spent in Spain in one go is 6 months. I like this forum because of the camaraderie and I`ve made friends. Stuff the ones who don`t like it. As long as we stay in Siesta time and obey the rules then JDR and the other Mods will allow us to tittle-tattle and talk shite. I`m sure.

Its just a pity that sometimes we can't contribute without it developing into a nasty crap match!


I got called a sad loser 5 times on the same thread the other day and nothing was said, I of course kept my cool, but in theory those posts were off topic and should have been sorted out.


Now I personally don't give a crap, it really doesn't matter to me one tiny drop, but people do read it, and to assume that people are stupid enough to join with that kind of sniping going on is mad.

Econ is on one of the sites, and a couple of others from here are on the other one.

There are lots of people on here from all walks of life with different ideals and ideas. Unfortunately not everyone is adult enough to handle their temper without lowering themselves to insults. My mother used to say that people often lose a good argument by swearing - it shows a lack of knowledge and intelligence.
