I confronted a thuggish dog fouler (Lounged)

[Will_i_am]

Hey Dulwichdoll? Are you hot? Wanna cyber?

[Huguenot]

It's all a bit pots and kettles here isn't it?

The forum's just a cross-section of society: you get the odd wally, wide-boy, wisecracker, gossip or shrew. Most people are pretty nice though, just as they are in real life.

It's also easy to misinterpret, to judge people through the sunshine or fog of our own lifetime experiences, again often incorrectly.

It's often possible for one man's witticism to be seen as another man's personal insult. Admin can't legislate for everything. The Spartacus issue was obvious, I'm afraid the rest are less so. They're repartee and highly subjective.

Undoubtedly if you look for problems you'll find them, intentional or not.

The easiest thing to do is look for the best in people, and look for the best in their postings.

If you can't find it within yourself to do that then maybe a chat forum, with all its challenges, isn't the best place to hang out.

Well Quids can get a genuine rise out of me on here, but I've rarely met a nicer, more decent chap in RL. I would never let experiences on here spill over into the real world.

In fact I've been trying to tempt the likes of snorky and Alan Dale out for a drink unsuccessfully for ages, and if Louisa would ever like to share a nice glass of plonk and a bite to eat at Iceland I'd be more than delighted.

I too was annoyed that I didn't know Miekcg was there as I'd have given him a big doff of hat for having the balls to come along after winding quite a few posters up, but then his online behaviour softened slightly but noticeably after that experience too.

Many of us have had to mature our approach to the EDF since its inception, and I like to think there's hope for everyone.

When in doubt use sexual innuendo. Is that supposed to degrade my comments Will ?

[Brendan]

Yeah that wasn't particularly clever was it.

[bigbadwolf]

I'd like to meet Ted Max and *Bob* so I can thank them for some of the rib shattering laughs they've provided but not at the drinks as I have my personal safety to think about.

I'm sorry. I've not read your comments. I just wanted you to feel loved.

[Huguenot]

On the outcast bit,to reassure you, no-one's going to remove your postings unless they break rules.

As in all public speaking you'll be supported by those that agree with you, and challenged by those that disagree. It's a forum!!

If you have an unpopular opinion, then there will be a majority in disagreement. This isn't because of a gang-mentality, but because the opinion isn't widely shared.

Really now, please, relax and move along....

[dulwichdoll]

I think Will sums up the misogynist element on here. I cant make a point without that sort of comment. Truly pathetic.

[Will_i_am]

Uh Oh! Someone's taking the internet seriously!

I don't think you can presume to know anything about me. I'm hot though. If you change your mind...

[Spartacus]

Hey

How did Will_I_Am get away with that and I got my post removed when it (in esscence) asked the same question

I feel that I have been unfairly crucified by the forum admin here !!!

[bigbadwolf]

What Will said was very very Vanilla compared to what I can come up with DD. You have been warned.

[Moos]

I don't think that this is a misogynistic forum.

[Moos]

Spartacus, DD said she specifically complained about your post. So Admin will have removed it. I would also assume that if she complains about Will_i_am's it will be removed too.

[mockney piers]

Not to say that any comment complained about via PM or reported is destined for removal mind; each one taken on its own merit, but personal effrontery does get a good listen at the very least.

[Will_i_am]

At least we've got the subject away from that ghastly dog fowler!

Don't get me started on dog fowlers. It's one thing I can't stand.

[dulwichdoll]

Why ? is that some sort of threat of more sexual harassment on a public forum ?

[Moos]

Pauline Fowler? Never liked her.

[Spartacus]

interesting, so I need to be slightly more clever in future so as not to upset the Emperor.

but I still don't see the problem with pointing out that someone seems frustrated and pent up ...

or was it what I said afterwards that mirrored Will's comment but in a more subtle way

I am so confused and back in the old days there was none of this issue because we didn't have the internet !!!

I hope you're not talking about me here Mike. I was introduced to you and we had a chat. I remember saying to you that you hadn't done yourself any favours by some of your postings i.e the disgusting Munich air disaster song and the waving tenners at the protestors last week but I'm pretty damned sure we got on and left it at that. I certainly don't remember hearing anyone least of all me calling you a cock at the top of their voice and if it did happen then I must of been outside smoking cigarette or getting the drinks in.

I called you a bit of cock on the thread because I felt your post had warrented it. You seemed to have wanted to pass it off as humour. What may pass for humour in your mind obviously differs from most other people.

Don't talk Ill of the dead!

I meant Robbie Fowler. He's a bit s**t these days.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I also note that "who_cares" seems less bothered by people quoting others, judging by the lack of response to DD's quotathon today

Judging by the 5771 PMs I received on the subject I'm not alone

[dulwichdoll]

Ahh Sean you have raised your head again today to join in the gang eh ? Was I not allowed to say how many Pms I got on a subject ? But now the boys have bared their teeth again you feel free to join in.

[Jah Lush]

What boys? What teeth? Stop playing the victim here DD. I know you've had a couple of bad responses on here i.e the spartacus thing but stop dragging this out. There is no bullying going on here as far as I can see.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was talking about "who_cares" DD. I don't believe I have said "boo" to you today
