The dark side of the forum. (stupid, aggressive "we'll ruin you on the EDF" comments)

[Alan Medic]

Agree. If you're a juvenile.....

[edcam]

Big yawn.

[El Pibe]

It's like a classic djkq vs sue touched you last game.

Makes me all sniffy with nostalgia

[Atticus]

Thanks, Vik, if so obvious why did it take 4/5 days to relocate?

[El Pibe]

because for a couple of days it threatened to at least try to stay on topic about how the forum is used in the Real World.

As it offtopicated by becomin totally self-obsessed about posters past and present, Admin lost patience, and Bingo!!

[Atticus]

Plenty of other threads do that and stay put. The cynic in me thinks it was swept.

[unlurked]

The diversion this thread took re bullying has been beneficial to the forum IMO as I have not seen 'bullying' or nasty spats on here since this thread. There is at least one poster, (possible reincarnation), that just name calls/swears still). Maybe it has made everybody think twice for whatever reasons. However I do not read all threads/sections.

Let's face it, EDF has always had a reputation for being snotty and rude. I've lurked here for about a year before joining, and in that time I've seen some spectacularly unpleasant behaviour. I joined the other day and posted, and within a day was being called 'an odious little sh*t' and a 'heartless bastard', because I made a mildly contentious point. I'm no fainting violet, but I can see why many people would find that to be unnecessarily rude. To be honest, I actually think the two posters who were rude to me misunderstood my post - if English isn't their first language, I can recommend a course - but that doesn't give them an excuse to behave like morons.

Many people would find your "mildly contentious point" very rude.

Somebody was trying to help out their neighbour by finding somebody to board up their window for them, and you told them to do it themselves and it wasn't rocket science.

Personally, I'd say that was "snotty and rude". And English is my first language (and I'd say "if English isn't their first language, I can recommend a course" was a pretty snotty and rude comment, as well.

By all means post on here as rudely as you like - but don't then accuse other people of rudeness!

[alldownhillfromhere]

In which case, fuck off Sue, you're an @$$[-]*!?. That rude enough for you?

Sad.

[KalamityKel]

Oh stop it both of you! Acting like children and further demonstrating the point of this thread is only making you both look silly.

There is no need to provoke or respond to each others comments in the way that you are.

Patronising posts aren't necessary either, KK :(
