Just a simple question???

[Neenee]

why is it that even the simplest of questions posted on here can get into arguments with rival Ab'ers.......

in the beginning when i found this site, it was great, you wanted a question answered and 9 times out of 10 the answer was there.. now its just slaging eah other off

does anyone else feel like this??

Hi Neenee,

The site has changed a lot, some people now come on here just to try and cause problems,they never actually answer a question,they just post some inane comment,or tell someone to get stuffed or what a d!ckhead they are,lets hope they get bored or go back to school eh!!!!

Whats it got to do with you lol

In answer to your post, it does seem that what started as banter, gets misread by some and it spirals out of control, i,ve had my fair share of arguments on here some right some wrong, a big problem is when your expressing yourself on here its only with words ie seeing someone in person and having a conversation is much better than typing words out and trying to think what reaction you are getting form the other end

[Neenee]

hello ray....

yeah couldnt agree more.... i admit some of the banter is funny, and thats acceptable to a certain degree... but i noticed one thread from last night that i caught up on this morning... got really nasty!!

glad i got an early night and wasnt involved in that one

[Neenee]

lol @ laurence... awww and i thought you were so nice too!!!

[laurence2]

hello neenee, just looked through that thread, are they both lovers {WM & Naz}

[Lore]

Look Neenee, if you don't like it then find another site! :oP

seriously tho, I find it easier to overlook the garbage and answer the question and/or join in with the banter. once the trouble starts just look past it, If you answer them, you're feeding them.

[Neenee]

laurence, well they surely argue like some lovers... so who knows eh.

[Neenee]

thanks for that lore ;-)

Hi Neenee & laurence,

I love the banter,but some of the insults are sick,as laurence says,they would not say it to your face,

laurence tell me when you were boxing did you ever train at the Thomas a Beckett in the Old Kent Road ?

I used to drink there years ago, Ray

[bobtheturkey]

[raysparx1]

Hi bob,

I have never seen you get angry bob !!!!

[bobtheturkey]

[mccfluff]

[raysparx1]

[laurence2]

Its true that what starts out as banter, can suddenly spiral.
I blame it on the lack of commas, seriously. Read some posts of long sentances and you can easily misconstrue what the aber is saying, especially when the subject involves speaking about 2 different people. Someone reads it (one of the 2 people), and immediately ask if it they are who the poster is referring, because they cannot distinction between one reference and another. Truly, it is the lack of punctuation most of the time, that confuses, as to exactly what the poster is stating.

Hi laurence,

Last nites case in hand. Someone(B) remarked on another abers(A) post. (B) said that she thought (A) was insensitive. (A) said she speaks her mind. Another aber(C) defended (A) and said she had a right to say what she thought, and told (B) that (A) was allowed to voice her opinion. (B) tried to explain that she agreed that this is true, but that she(B) also had that same right. But, no (C) still insisted that (A) could say as she wanted, but that (B) did not have that right. That is when I joined in and used the "gang" warfare pointer.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander
