This past week has seen, in my opinion an increase in vitriol and negativity toward other members. Is my perception incorrect or have others noticed this?

I thought we'd exceed this week's 'hasn't this place become mean' thread quota?

AnotherTime - a goady fucker is a sad bastard who posts offensive or upsetting crap on the internet in order to wind people up.

'Goadyfucker' - poster who starts a goady thread just to get a reaction.

The vipers have given me a good slap in the past so its nothing new.But I might have been acting like a tosser.Possibly.
Look at it as character building Wink

There's been a load of goady twats and disablist arses in the last few days.

I always report because they are fuckers and bring the whole site down.

FenellaFellorick · 16/08/2015 20:45

Me too, ThatBloodyWoman.

I have had my arse handed to me a few times. And thoroughly deserved each time. Grin

Yep, maryz. I have never been involved in a gf thread before - totally took me by surprise that so many others took it as gf.

Anyway, poor form to discuss it.

MarchLikeAnAnt · 16/08/2015 20:51

I blame Jeffrey.

ThatBloodyWoman · 16/08/2015 20:54

Oh Siri - sorry for skim reading.
Bless you that you can be thinking of such positives.
I wish you all the best,and continued support.

I have to admit that I've gone to bed before feeling a bit like some on have been unjust to me.
But I've woken up to realise I was getting over invested in arguing my corner in a thread where I was clearly being told something I didn't want to hear.
I need to either learn when to give up,or get better at debate.
Not everyone will agree with everyone else and I need to learn not to be a diva.

ilovesooty · 16/08/2015 21:03

Good wishes Siri

Love it Maryz !!

Have to say that I do get very indignant.

But then,its usually after a couple of glasses of Blue Nun.

WorraLiberty · 16/08/2015 21:14

There seems to be a lot of anger over nothing lately.

Probably the Summer holiday stress catching up on us all Grin

Every thread I read I am either Hmm or Confused but mostly Hmm

Passmethecrisps · 16/08/2015 21:17

I just want nice fun threads where we all laugh. I don't want shouting and goady fuckery
