Gratitude

[acw]

ABE suggestion - please can people be encouraged to have the politeness to either thank those of us who help them, or to recognise that we tried and tell us we were wrong.  The site is quickly turning into a chat room, and I'm all for that.  But if you want to keep it as an answer bank, then people need to have a reason to give answers.  Ignoring attempts at help is rude and surely against the spirit of the site.

 

Or am I just 22 going on 82 and being a miserable old goat?

[Robinia]

Well I was following this ok until smudge's pastry hit the fan......!!  :-) 

[Kelly2k8]

What's she been doing? Is this another one of them AB playground fights?

[MargeB]

I asked 'Is your name really Anna Wood' since I know an Anna Wood. Obviously asking someone their name is really offensive to some people and it got banned.

[acw]

No no - we stopped the fight ages ago - it's fine! Well, not true, but I'm personally trying not to have another one.  Anyway, if anyone wants to get back to the point, that's fine by me. 

 

I have asked Ed to edit the auto emails that go out saying "An answer has been found".  To say something like "An answer has been found.  Please take time to read it, and consider rating it, or making a post to thank the other user for their help".  He/She said they'd think about it!  Smile costs nothing you know! :-)

acw - I was confused there for a moment . thought annacwood wasn't you.  Take no notice of you-know-who. She does it all the time - please don't let her drive you out. Your postings are far more intelligent and funny than are hers! STAY.

[MargeB]

and the other thing I wrote was that people say they will leave this site all the time, but it's as addictive as crack cocaine. What was wrong with that?

[acw]

Perhaps, again, you need to be more careful in how you phrase things.  Remember that body language and tone of voice can't be seen on this site.  Given your history with me, you cna hardly be surprised.  And I didn't report your answer, I asked ABE if I was being hypersensitive.  They interpreted it the same way as me. 

[netibiza]

Oooops I feel caught in the crossfire.

[acw]

I wasn't offended by the "saying your leaving" bit, or the addiction bit.  But if I said "Is your name Marge? Seriously?"  you don't think that would be seen as taking the p*ss?  IT totally sounded like you meant "What the heck were your parents tihnking?" If you had said "Annacwood, your initials are acw?  Seriously?"  THAT would have made sense and been slightly funny.  What you said was neither logical or funny - and as i said, given your history, i took offence as you usually have a go at me. 

[acw]

Yes it is my real name.  Now bite me for it :-)

[preston34]

Holy cow! You're not kidding, netibiza.

Looks like fullblown war. What is 'on the rag?'

[MargeB]

It means 'having or about to have one's period', ie in a premenstrual state, giving rise to random bitchiness. Or just an excuse for petty breaking out in a bit or random squabbling. Not being a bird, I have never had the privilege. Thank god.

[oreo]

This thread is cracking me up. You have to say, you did ask for a bloody nose there acw.

bile is the word, TCL. And all that brought on by a request for politeness, too.

[THECORBYLOON]

Sorry jno but the original request was for folk to show politeness in by thanking others for their help. MargeB was taking the mick out of acw's real name and posted a link to an obscene site and I have reported both of his postings.

[jno]

I wasn't referring to your bile, TCL

[THECORBYLOON]

Soz jno ma mistake. It's all this bickering, never mind eh.

To get back to the original question, I don't know why some folk cand spend 5 seconds just to type "TA." Is it that hard?
