Where did that Sticky go?

[daveenty]

There were two actually, though the one which springs to mind is personal abuse.

Seems a bit regular in here lately and seems to be upsetting one or two regular BiB.

I used to visit this section often as I found it informative, but at the moment it's just getting cringe-worthy with certain people assuming it's their God given right to spout forth dubious information and snide comments.

May be worth mentioning a certain TV chef(ess) in one or two threads just to get them closed?

I suggest the use of the report button... in the top right hand corner of each post.

I thoroughly recommend its use, the little group of new posters [with about 30 posts between them] are a bit 'shouty' at the moment.

[daveenty]

No, don't want to report anyone for posting, just that the level of abuse was getting a bit OTT?

Not directed at me, but still not nice to read when it is against senior members.

@andmole......yeah, know what you mean

I'm not a new poster, just an opinionated old one

If there's a vendetta it's against rudeness in general, politeness costs nothing. I've "had a go" at several people who I think have overstepped the mark, and reported various posts for offensive content, and will continue to do so. If more people thought this way, then perhaps we wouldn't have BiB posters feeling unable to continue in the S,P & L forum. Criticise, yes, praise, yes, call a spade a spade, hell yes, but please try within the bounds of common decency. Yes maybe my post above could be considered rude, I think that its just about OK, if I had used a string of swearwords then maybe not. Is it provocative, yes certainly, and maybe that might make certain posters consider their actions a bit more carefully.
mode off

Oh yes, and I've apologised in the past when I've stepped over the mark and had it pointed out to me.

Oh my God... I hope you don't think my comment was meant for you? (Although I really dont agree with everything you say; but would happily engage if I had an opinion that conflicted!)

Check out some of he other forums and have a look at some other stuff. I have absolutely no problem with you although haven't checked out your TVR yet? Just guessing???? Only joking but they are probably the same thing???????

This was the reason for my first post. *It's nice to be nice*

Personally I don't, but that's your prerogative and I don't either blame you or hold it against you. Just not me....

Takes a man to apologise (or a wimp who realises he's wrong).... Sorry Andy....couldn't find an appropriate smiley, so have a couple of these:


Edited coz I'm still trying to get a point across and be pleasant

It's interesting that given all the people who have responded to my posts lately, not one of them is the actual person I was annoyed with, or the actual person Ted warned in another thread.

Why would you take something so personally when that person hasn't even addressed anything to you?
