Otta, likewise and that is so very true.


In another place, the death of someone we knew was announced by a few people, with one friend stating "He will be sorely missed". The next person posted "How do you know". This caused a deluge of abuse, until it was explained the question was "how do you know he has died" rather than peoples interpretation "how do you know he will be missed", as the person posing the question had not heard anything until it was read on the forum. A perfectly innocent question/remark over this media will one day,undoubtedly, start a world war.

I can see that does happen on crossed posts regularly adonirum; but experience offers a few simple techniques.


explicitly answer/comment on previous posts by referencing or quoting poster and/or content.

Smilies, they have their detractors, but god knows a wink can just make obvious the intention. We don't have tone of voice, so it helps to provide it in other ways.

    • don't you mean migrate not immigrate
    • I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home. 
    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
