Why do some of the comments posted have to get quite so bitchy?

[Reedybookworm]

I must be naive, but have been shocked at some of the bitchy comments posted by others on here, really new to this, and its quite fascinating how there are people who seem to search out others and keep replying to their threads with just bitchy comments? What has happened to good old debate? Happy to learn, to be given more information so I can maybe reform my initial opinion. Now i am wondering How do these people respond when their family say something they disagree on? Do they swear at them? Hope not! So please don't reply to this thread unless you are going to be reasonable about it.

Up yours

Ah, yes, Buffy. Very good.

Far too late for scones MaryZ

No, no, Buffy I insist - up YOURS dear

Just realised I posted the link to the religious biscuits thread on here instead of on the thread-about-this-thread where it should have been.

Must have confused people who weren't on both threads....

Although if you throw a scone, I will throw it back. In the spirit of the site, like

Gosh Buffy, you're most awfully kind! I'll take it.

We needed not the Scones of Self Moderation, Maryz. The day was saved by Tee and her ::whattsits::

She was my favourite first, Maryz. You can't have her!

::stamps feet::

Ooh, cross post. ::preens::

Nah. Dots aren't worth throwing buns over.

I'm going to bed soon anway!

Wouldn't they be ellipses standing up?
