My tuppence worth?? Some of you just need to man up ffs, I'm a woman and you don't see me getting all sensitive about some of the stuff that Kofi & Welder tries to aim at me on occasion


I'm obviously being facetious (for those of you with a sensitive disposition of course) but as Bazz says, just because you are offended doesn't make you right

its those self righteous maggots that plague Facebook coming on here being offended and no dangly bits, i just love WW dangly bits , Columbo man the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck up take a dose of cement syrup .

Alternatively why should anybody be abused for being wrong, stupid or both? And I'm not saying Columbo was any or all of those, but the level of civility in these parts needs to take an upward step.

Forever the gentleman Snipe, I consider myself suitably admonished.

One does make an effort.

Why does anyone have to act with civility? Don't we have the right to offend?

I don't know.

If someone writes something defamatory on here it's not about you unless they actually know you, any reference would be about your online persona. I'm no legal eagle but I usually ignore any abuse or any attempt to drag you into a slegging match.

Yeah I think this is a reasonable point Dave.

That being said there is still a limit I feel. Consistent and strong abuse in this scenario just makes it not worth it for the person on the receiving end who is trying to engage in some good discussion and debate on a subject he / she enjoys. For others viewing same it can become tiresome. Banter is good and I have had much fun over the last 7 years on here with mostly folk I don't know at all and some who I do.

If I don't know someone and call them a langer is it worse , better or the same as if I do know them and call them a langer? Now that is a poser.

Why would you not want to act with civility?

Not if you abide by the forum rules.
