[Greedyfly]

I missed something?

[mightyWBA]

I'd say 99% of posters on here are inoffensive..The offensive ones keep coming back in different disguises.
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to suss them out!

[Mick-Talbot]

sorry that was paw,paw

[Mick-Talbot]

i'm getting reallt banalnal now.

[ttfn]

So should there be a suggestion to provide another category especially for those who want to 'get involved' without disturbing some friendlier threads? I am reminded of gents inviting others outside to continue their conversation (no offence to gents - should also be applied to ladies) (;-))

[Mamyalynne]

Oh that's been tried too, but we cannot resist crossing boundaries can we (purely in the conversational sense of course, not surgery - Ouch)

[mightyWBA]

How about a "rant a bank" section?

[ttfn]

hee hee - sorry mamya I previously typed manya !!

Do you think if there was such a section wba we might never see some ABers on CB again?

[Dris]

Hi ttfn x
I have to say in all the years I have used forums its only recently that ive noticed OP being used so prolifically -in fact I googled it lol.

O just to answer your thread -people will always annoy someone regardless if they are the nicest and kindest of people (thats why I think smilies would help diffuse any misunderstanding)

[ttfn]

[Dris]

Im sound ta ttfn -havent had a chance to catch up with holidays and all that but I shall remedy that next week.I hope youre well x

Im not in favour of smilies TBH -it would just be mad but I have to say I havent learnt the proper code (:o and all that) and often my tonque in cheeks are taken personally -och well cant please all the people all the time lol

[ttfn]

Not bad ta Dris♥ I think that is half the appeal of AB - the mixture. The problem seems (to me) to be to stop if from fermenting!
