Let Peace Return To The Forum

[Chillitt]

If you want my opinion, which I doubt, the 'correct' thing to do is argue your corner as forcefully (but not abusively) as you want, be prepared to be argued back at and, most importantly, don't carry some stupid grudge just because someone disagredd with you. If people take everything I post personally I expect to be shot within a year.

And don't forget to read what everyone else has written, just in case they say something important!!

I doubt that very much.

Its about freedom of speech and opinion.

If you come along extolling the virues of Amy Whine face, should I be duty bound to agree, or keep my mouth shut incase you are offended? I think not.

If someone says something I disagree with, I will say so.

However, I wont say something like "You are stupid cos you keep your truck clean" cos thats offensive (and also untrue) - there's the difference between opinion and insult.
I dont find it uncomfortable when people voice opinions, thats life. No one is attacking anyone else, just voicing opinion, chill mate

Re. the tech thread, its not out of control, it's just wandered as these things are wont to do. Koi voiced reasonable concerns, and there've been some reasonable suggestions. You need to weed out the cr@p to find the good stuff - much like a conversation in a pub - which forums are always compared to.

Have a happy day mate, and enjoy your Sunday drive

Sorry mate thats a fact! you got confused there but I will help you out.

people disagree and voice their diagreement and get nasty sometimes because it IS A FORUM ON THE INTERNET!!!!! most people wouldn't come out with half the cr@p they come out with online at a pub because they'd get a kicking!

you can say what you want to who you want and if it upsets them...so?

1. why are people so soft as to get genuinely offended at what someone else writes on a forum?
2. people need to argue - its a safe way to release tension in a stressful life, and doing it online is better than venting your anger at people in person when hospital and prison stays can be the result.
3. arguments are funny for those not involved and just reading them! if people do get way out of line then the plug is usually pulled.
4. any argument involving mattF is always funny. abuse this person as much as you can...he thoroughly deserves it!

I might --- but the again I might not If I did would it bother anybody else and more to the point would I worry about it???
I might--- but then again I might not

Life is just to dam short to worry about things that dont matter.

I need some slight excuse for being argumentative and cantankerous. And how can one ever take GB seriously?
