Forum etiquette

[FreeLitres]

It's best just to let it go.

Unless they think its OK to arrogantly cruise up to the front of a so called "merge in turn". In which case, you need to put them in their place each time, bloody queue dodgers.

same here. It's different on forums where you can have an avatar

I hate that crap. The forums that have avatars normally have some stupid signature thing at the bottom of each post as well. It's either some sort of shopping / bragging list (Intel core I5, 2TB HDD, Izzy Wizzy graphics card) or a post from a 6-year old thread which was funny 6 years ago, but is now a bit sad.

Come on, spill the beans, which thread

I must have been hallucinating : there are no arguments on NP&E.



Or SP&tL.

[AW111]

I am clearly an amateur it this. I have just seen a couple of posters carrying on an argument that started on a completely different forum altogether

[Snozzwangler]

I wouldn't say I troll, but I do like to be a 'jovial' pain in the arse sometimes, especially when a poster clearly needs to get out/get laid.

[davepoth]

I was having an argument elsewhere on the internet once. I got bored and so my last post on the matter was

"YO MAMA."

And then I walked away.

[Snozzwangler]

No no no, you always have to involve Hitler!

[AW111]

Yo mama was turned down by Hitler?

[jogon]

Try and find some errors in their spelling and grammar seems to work for most.

Yo momma was so fat, Hitler tried to commandeer her as a make shift death star.

Rise above it. Ignore them. If really necessary, quote their attempt at irking you and write "just so you know, you are still wrong/an idiot, but I'm ignoring you" then don't respond to the explosion

You can't lose an argument on the internet. You'll never live the shame down.

Win at all costs.

This has been entertaining, but I reiterate my initial question : you argue with someone on one thread, then meet them on another. What happens next?

If you're grown up... Nothing.

But this is PH!

Move on.

If you disagree with someone about something in real life most normal people don't hold grudges.

Internet arguments (one-on-one) amuse me.

I say my piece, you say yours, we disagree. There is room for a couple of follow-up posts, but after that, why bother? It just goes round
And round
And round

By now it's repetition, punctuated with insults and snide remarks, and the next few pages bore everyone to tears.
Log in tomorrow, and the stealth mods have deleted the last 1/2 dozen posts, to most people's relief.

It takes two to have an argument so not sure what you are trying to get out of this thread. Just ignore and move onto the next discussion, it is not really that difficult.

Unless of course you are trying to provoke an argument on this one.
