'Leptons'
Yes that irritates me too. Because, obviously, the Internet police are trawling the forum looking for speeding offences, and would be totally thrown by the use of that word and wouldn't realise what it meant.We should try this technique in other contexts.

The thing that annoys me the most on here and I really don't know why because I know it shouldn't is when a poster, for example let's say someone called Dave finishes each and every post he writes with 'Dave'.
It is a little informal. 'David' would be more appropriate prior to formal introductions. 
I don't mind the adding of a name to be honest, I think it is very easy to misinterpret the manner in which someone types and I suspect the adding of a name makes a post less impersonal and possibly less likely to have its tone misconstrued?

But where is the line though? I tend to resort to smilies as I know I have a very blunt turn of phrase and a dry wit. I've learnt to use smilies on PH so as to try an minimise the offence caused to the myriad pre-ops that float around horrifically distressed, in between retail therapy bouts, at some of the very unfluffybunny turns of phrases used.

The sheer amount of nastiness, intolerance, bile and hate displayed, tolerated and encouraged in NP&E
Nasty, sneering and petty snobbery across all forums
Launching into people and accusing them of being liars/fantasists/thick etc and when being proved wrong,either disappearing or digging your heels in and refusing to apologise
The fact that almost every topic about the Police quickly descends into an "us and them" slanging match between the usual suspects
Red Bull/frozen sausages/335d mapped/Wrist time, etc, etc, etc

I find it tedious that a lot of posters (particularly on NP&E) pour abuse on anyone they see as a 'lefty', often on the most flimsy of grounds, ie the person they are sneering at had the temerity to disagree with them.
Also the blanket condemnation of 'lefties' as bitter, jealous, joyless idiots, and 'soft' as well *
Obviously some are, as are some right-wingers, anarchists, NF member, UKippers, etc., but it's a bit simple-minded to pigeonhole half the population that way.

- 'soft' is not a term I would use to describe the Red Army (1940s version), the Viet Cong, and some very bloody-minded miners, among others.

I have to agree with all of the above, particularly the behaviour in NP&E. Plus the ability of some to work the EU referendum or BBC bias into almost any thread on NP&E is quite depressing (and seems indicative of a high degree of paranoia).Nasty, sneering and petty snobbery across all forums

And lo, this morning the "Another migrant boat sinks" thread delivered:
"So let them try, let them sink, let the surviving ones be delivered back to Libya, so they can spread the word how many of their fellow economic migrants drowned.
Any sharks in that area ?"
The day NP&E excelled itself.

I do not see any point at all of any country having any ships what so ever in this area.
The quicker we all depart this area of sea, and make it known, then surly the thought of no rescue would go some way to stemming the flow.
If they drown, so be it.
Disagree, they are desperate and will try anyway.The quicker we all depart this area of sea, and make it known, then surly the thought of no rescue would go some way to stemming the flow.

Although I'm not sure if posters are posting deliberately provocative posts to get a reaction but with NP&E you can never be sure...
