That's It - I've Had Enough

[Mrs.Sippy]

I started contributing to Answerbank almost from its inception many years ago though under several guises dependent on the ISP I was using at the time. Then it was a friendly gathering of the minds full of jocular banter and so very interesting with those in the know passing on their knowledge to those wanting to learn. However more recently it's been hijacked by the more single-digit-intelligence brigade whose sole purpose is to see their vitriolic comments on the screen. It struck home only recently when reading an interesting thread when I came across a comment posted by the thread's author about some troglodyte who'd been stalking them over a mild rebuke he'd given because of an insult they'd inflicted; I won't name them out of the respect they certainly don't deserve but they came back with a comment the gist of which was "so we hit a nerve did we" and the author returned with something akin to "the last 'we' is a giveaway. You sound like a representative of a pack of wolves, snarling, waiting to pounce". He hit the nail right on the head and it was then I realised how far this site has sunk. The sad part is that by far the greater majority are as I remember them, it's only a tiny minority who tarnish it for the rest but this tiny minority have the biggest mouths, the most vitriolic language and who are the most cowardly hostile.
This site should remove the anonymity with which the internet provides them and make their true identities perhaps not prominently on the screen but certainly easily found. That would silence these cowards and hopefully bring it back to the child-friendly forum it used to be.
If any of my students came anywhere close to this degree of hostility and disrespect I'd have them sent down immediately.
By the way you loathesome creatures, have this one on me. I'll be leaving for good this time so stick in as many boots as you like, I won't see it.

She's probably a imam that doesn't believe in free speech - or opinion, except her own.

He.

this place is tame compared to some of the other hell holes masquerading as chat forums - some people do push it a bit far but I`ve never seen anything genuinely malicious - ill judged, misplaced maybe.

Whoever he/she is, he/she is unable to spell loathsome correctly.

not really interesting and comparatively mild I thought....

[Svejk]

Ta Wolf. Big deal about nothing. Who cares if people use Grinder, or whatever, nowadays.
Surely if it was Admiral or Go Compare they would have told us.

[Just-Jude]

I totally agree with Mrs.Sippy. Real names and addresses should be on profiles, along with passport pic and number. We could then visit that person to sort out any misunderstandings, instead of arguing on here.

It's time AB became more hands on.

[Svejk]

I'd be well up for that^.

[jomifl]

so ...you haf students....very interesting...

[Mamyalynne]

I haven't got a passport, will my Blood group and cup size suffice?

[B00]

Anyone who puts their hands on me gets 'em ripped of!

Just sayin'....
