WorraLiberty. What a legend

Show your support here. The other thread is still going. Not nice.

A fish MrsDeVere??

Don't miss the point, please MaryZ. It's not about whether it's areslickey or not - it's about people offering opinions and being told off for doing so.

OK, how about if we all smear our arses and each others with Marmite?

That'll cause a dilemma

But then the opinion is that if your of the other opinion you are a sycophant?

Argh!

So how does that work?
When is a comment just a comment.
When is a comment a telling off.

If people are disagreeing them I hope I pay them both the respect of giving each view equal weight.
If I say 'I disagree.i think that is bollocks', when is that just a post and when is it a telling off?

Can someone please please update me as to what I've missed??!! The other thread has been deleted! Was someone being mean to Worra?! Please update me!

I've always thought Worra gave lovely advice

Sorry, just found the update on my six..

I don't get why the Terry Wogan photo though?! Still mystified?!

There is already at least one précis on this thread

Hang on.....

I don't personally think this thread is sycophantic. I think it's nice. I said so.

If I did think it was sycophantic I could (and maybe would) say that too.

Either way, we are entitled to express our opinions without being told we should be ashamed of ourselves like we are naughty Year 6s.

Maybe I'm just bitter though, because if someone posted that I was a cunt, it would be "Who? Meh".

"That is bollocks" is not the same as "You should be ashamed of yourself".

So is the answer to my question that you think a comment is a telling off if it has a certain tone?

I am not being argumentative. I am curious.
I didn't think the 'you get told off if you criticise royalty' was about tone.
I am trying to figure out why poster a saying 'this is arse likely royalty shit' is a comment while 'I thinkthat is bollocks and both unfair and untrue' is a telling off.

The reason I want to understand is because I think the 'royalty' stuff is utter shite. But I think people should be allowed to post it. And I should be allowed to disagree. Both posts are equal.
Which is why I don't understand the 'telling off' thing.

Does that make sense . At all?

X-post.

Ok. Thanks Ellie.
I don't think I agree. I think a telling off tone might just be what happens hen avoiding saying 'oh do fuck off' .
But thanks

bum

... thank your lucky stars that you still have chips ...

See - I didn't think that Piglet was actually name calling, or not at least singling people out. Just that she thought there was a lot of arse-licking going on.

But - it's difficult, I agree. There's a fine line between disagreeing heartily and launching a personal attack. Not that I think MaryZ did that see, I'm a sycophant too but I don't think Piglet did either.

Personally, I stick to comments like "How fucking stupid" or "What a load of rubbish" rather than "Fuck off". I don't think I've been deleted for it yet.
