Re: Personal attacks on this forum
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.

It can get pretty bad out here, but take a look at the general forums like "The Lounge" or "Take it outside", it´s human behaviour in the worst possible way. Embarrasing really.
I´ve spoken to lots of people who say they read the forum but are too scared of writing anything to avoid being slagged off.

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.

Re: Personal attacks on this forum
"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..

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

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.
