Funny things aren't they?

[KERRSURF]

Internet forums I mean.

Sit everyone of us down in a big hall, we all have a common interest, we all have different life experiences, we all won't get on.

What we probably will do is go off in varying sizes of groups to tell tales, swap info etc.

What we probably won't do is call each other pricks or worse, and we certainly wouldn't all decide to bully one person.

I can't be bothered with 'trolls' but I'm up for the old 'we'll agree to disagree' thing.

I've been a member here for a long time now and seem to visit less and post vary rarely.

I remember when this was all grass for as far as the eye could see.........

I'm not so sure about that. The Standford Prison Experiment in the early 70s pretty conclusively showed that that sort of thing is almost natural human behaviour.

I expect you're referring to Mr VCs meltdown, although I'm not sure that bullying is what has happened there. It seems to me that he has been a little over sensative to other peoples comments and taken them personally when, certainly initially, no personal insult was intended. The vast majority of communication between people is not so much what is said but how it is said and the accompanying body language. I'd guess this is where the problem started.

His (and seemingly everybody elses) reactions have just escalated the whole thing to a point where it has just got a bit silly but such is life, and life goes on...

Actually it's two, but one of them refuses to believe he is being bullied, I mean, disagreed with.

Think of the classic double acts from the past...

Cannon and Ball
Morecombe and Wise
Rod and Emu
Lukenemma and Greeley
and now...

Time for the Thorntons!

Alan...I can't disagree with you.

I'm not sure it Is totally the case with what went on here though.. I was shocked at the "I'm right" post, but not shocked at the "you are a prick" post.
