On most forums you get the occasional irksome poster, usually devoid of humour, who imagines himself to be a winged avenger or caped crusader, and they’re best ignored.

Mind you, in real life I remember a TV clip of George Bush filmed on opening his eyes after a long praying session with a smug look on his face, the look of an avenger. The next clip showed Saddam with a rope around his neck.

Maybe it’s best to be careful who you upset in life and stick with a mutual admiration society.

Well, I am rather busy selling vitamins to 'special' people, but since you were kind enough to demonstrate how big the market was, I thought I owed you that much.

"The Lounge", and "Take it outside", can be fun, but have to be looked at as fora that have people posting just for effect, and trying to get the reactions they get. Do not consider posting there if you are not thick skinned, have a look and a laugh by all means, but don't read anything into the posts, there are people there who just post to cause arguments, and to insult others, but then again those posting there know what to expect, not for the faint hearted, but then again language etc that would not be allowed in a forum like this, is acceptable, but there are still rules, and most of the people who get banned get banned via posts there..

Don't get me wrong, I am happy to insult someone who truly deserves it, and am far from being a "sensitive little flower", but my original post was about commenting negatively about people and their lives for no reason at all and blatantly provoking arguments.

You´re right, it can be fun there. But for me people in there just go too far, just look at all the anti Islam threads or another poster who´s always eager too express his hatred towards small children. I´m sure it´s meant too be humoristic but I fail to see it. Staying well away from it, I love to be in the Spain forum!

A word beginning with W comes to mind right now........

Who would have thunk that a thread on personal attacks would descend into personal attacks eh?

I hardly call that a personal attack!

Careful Matt, or someone will go running to tell teacher that the nasty rough boys are name calling......

Thats subjective though isn't it?

You're kidding right Bill?

If you look closely there is a report button and right next to it, slightly fainter, is a "report rugbymatt" button.... direct line mate, direct line.

I knew this would happen!! I rest my case...

Oh bless you... that innocent act works well with some you know...

Laugh? I nearly shat myself.....

Seeing that I am a woman and a teacher, I think they might just laugh at you!
