Especially On Ab

[teacake44]

After reading some of the comments on my last post, ( Do we need to complain ) and only been on AB a short time, it appears that, ( Silence is the best response to a fool ) don't feed their appetite. An answer / opinion to the question, good natured fun, banter, and a little teasing makes the world go round, and can be entertaining, but why sit there just waiting for a post you can start some tit for tat is very sad.

teacake, they are in a minority.

I think confrontation and difference of opinion is natural and will always happen online because so many people have access to share their so many opinions. People don't sit and wait like they're fishing.. They just easily find things to disagree with, or to discuss further.

If people always got along and agreed then what's the point there is no discussion to have.

[dannyk13]

Spath, there is a difference between discussion and the type of sniping that sometimes goes on here.

There's a strange influx of new members who feel the need to post questions about the views/attitudes and behaviour of existing members...why is that?

[dannyk13]

//influx of new members//
We could certainly do with it.

[Calicogirl]

That's just it though isn't Talbot, there isn't an influx of new members preaching their opinions of existing members behaviour- because a new member anywhere would never do that.

They? Lol, she's talking about you.

[anneasquith]

Oh. “ silence is the best response to a fool “. Very true for AB :*)

[Calicogirl]

Or one word answers Anne, and then run ;/

[Arksided]

Too scarred to mess with you teacake especially when your baps are up.

[Mamyalynne]

The 'Complain' thread was illuminating for all the wrong reasons.

[dannyk13]

Spicerack //They? Lol, she's talking about you//
I don't know what or who you are referring to.Would you care to elucidate?

[Arksided]

wow, they were a winging and moaning thread... that passed me by.

[ummmm]

New user, yeah right!

[Spicerack]

Certainly, old chap. She's talking about the thread that you and AOG hi-jacked with your wartime credentials. And once you started, all the usual suspects joined in to attack AOG. All completely against the spirit of the thread.

[ummmm]

Who are you calling 'old chap'?

AOG can derail any thread, along with a few others.

[dannyk13]

Glad that you read Teacake's mind.I rather thought that she was talking about all the threads you habitually derail.

[spathiphyllum]

Along with you, Ummm.

[Calicogirl]

More front than Brighton that :) x

[Spicerack]

I didn't have to read any minds, danny. If you had bothered to read the OP, teacake makes it clear which thread she is referring to. It's the one where you commented 14 times without any reference to the OP.
The one that I commented on, er, 0 times.
