"Oooh that's not FUNNY"

"Oooh your username is RUBBISH"

"Oooh you SWORE"

"Oooooh you used capitals"

"Ooooh you used ... in a thread title"

"Oooh you have not posted in a way that I have deemed acceptable."

Who died and made you owner of the board? AIBU if from now on every time I see a self-appointed board police on patrol to link to and tell them to wind their necks in?

Rational - see I think you'd fit right in there...

Rational · 24/01/2012 22:32

Someone else beat you to that little quip, too slow Wink

GoingForGoalWeight · 24/01/2012 22:33

Coraltoes made me laugh :)

Oh look! It's the Petty Betty Brigade, I think to myself..

Rational · 24/01/2012 22:34

Gully - where?

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 22:34

See this is the bit I don't like, when it gets all spiteful.

I like having a larf, or open and honest "fuck offs"

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 22:35

Gully?

LeBOF · 24/01/2012 22:35

We should all strive to be polite too, but if I called myself "Polite" and went round being rude, I'd expect to be pulled up on it. Likewise if you call yourself Rational and post something that people believe to be obviously incorrect or flawed in its assumptions, I think you might attract a more emphatic rebuttal than other people who aren't setting themselves up as The Voice Of Reason by their very name. Do you see what I mean?

Hully, I've given up reporting people pretending to be me and posting offensive shite. They crop up with depressing regularity. Somebody has a little vendetta on the go, apparently.

Hullygully · 24/01/2012 22:36

dear lord - vendetta?

Rational · 24/01/2012 22:38

I'm in my iPhone, autocorrect made you gully Wink

I've seen few threads that don't go spiteful, even if only temporarily.

LeBOF · 24/01/2012 22:38

Oh yes, there was even a twitter account set up once with the specific aim of slagging me off. And the name thing has been done a few times now. Ver hilair and all that.

Ooo Competitive Victimisation

LeBOF · 24/01/2012 22:41

I dunno what it is. Someone just doesn't like the cut of my jib, I suppose . I bet they have B.O. and no friends .

Honeydragon · 24/01/2012 22:41

Is that just Mr LeQ on his own slagging off your shit paint with damp patches? Wink

Rational · 24/01/2012 22:42

All I ask is if someone disagrees with me they tell me why and don't get shitty about it. Not much to ask.

I think that's fair enough Rational. But if a poster then keeps on posting the same stuff when several posters have politely explained why it is wrong/rude/ill-informed then that is irritating.

GoingForGoalWeight · 24/01/2012 22:48

I'll be your stalker Kate

Rational - I understand your pain and frustration, but sometimes it's best to walk away.

There are millions of lovely threads btw. And millions of lovely people. Maybe just look elsewhere.
