Petrolhead95 said: Wow, I don't blame the OP for leaving. What has happened to PH.. I've seen it before when the OP has bitten like crazy and blood has flowed, not just for noobies either. However, this was quite vicious, but the OP didn't do himself any favours either. He had 140 odd post to his name, and alternative name btw, before starting the thread - he should have known better. I know that PH has it's own place within the internetwebthingy but as I've said before, this site is a soft touch compared to some mainstream sites.

It's a cowardly thing to do in my opinion, but I appear to be in the minority with that. You're deliberately misunderstanding, or ignoring the point. Cowardice has nothing to do with it whatsoever (although I don't actually mind if you think Im a coward-see?) It is to do with not taking hte internet too seriously and expecting the same from others. THings are just different. Everyone is different. If you saw some people mocking someone else in a pub, would you get up on a judgemental chair and bellow "Cowards. Disgusting cowards" in the voice of a 16th century landowner (which is how I read your self-righteous posts incidentally). I'll bet the answer is 'probably not'. And yet you regularly do it on here. Just different perceptions of the point of the internet I think, rather than different levels of bravery

I'm neither misunderstanding, nor ignoring the point - I simply hold a different view from you. blindswelledrat said: If you saw some people mocking someone else in a pub, would you get up on a judgemental chair and bellow "Cowards. Disgusting cowards" in the voice of a 16th century landowner No, because the mocking would at least be done face to face, and not from behind a keyboard, so "cowards" wouldn't be the first thing to mind. However, to answer your question, it's not the first time I've defused a situation where the "banter" has started to get out of hand. Besides, it's not the mocking per-se that has gotten my goat in this thread, it's the disproportionate responses to what was a fairly harmless OP. I'm not the only person who has said as much, I just happen to have been a little more voiciferous about it. However, we're clearly never gonna agree on this, so no point in going around in circles
