Bloody auto complete....or in EDF junkie jargon, a quick fix in the train station loos...

Don't forget those that need Ritalin - has snorks relocated his as he's gone quiet again?

[numbers]

Is there a category for those that make a thread, any thread, ALL about them? Every single time they post.

No matter what the subject, they are all over the forum like a rash spouting on about their favourite subject - their self.

[Earl Aelfheah]

A Home Counties blow in no less ;-)

[DulwichFox]

Those that give Brilliant reviews of their own business.

[Louisa]

Those that can't help shoving a thread off-topic (rather than not participate at all) just for the hell of it.

Louisa.

[tfwsoll]

Those that disappear in a huff, never to return...only to reappear with a different moniker.

[Robert Poste's Child]

You forgot the sanctimonious ones who can't pass up an opportunity to make moral judgements about other forumites.

[Salsaboy]

Anybody in particular RPC?

I started this thread for a reason:

I'm praising a particular group because I like them. They are the nicest people on the EDF and deserve to be told so.

Some can be annoying because they make a simple comment, know that they might be lighting a fuse, and mayhem follows.

Then there are the ones that bear the brunt of the unpleasant comments. Some, a lot of the time. Others, occasionally.

If they are having a bad day or are feeling down, only to receive nasty, snide comments when they decide to visit the forum, that is hardly going to make them feel better is it?

If people can quite happily do this to others, I wouldn't want to know them in the real world.

And the rude ones? Well sometimes it's easier to pretend they haven't seen a post, but if someone asked them a question face to face, they would answer - not ignore.

I'm sure others find this frustrating.

So I started this to make people think. Just thinking before you post can make such a difference, especially if you are just about to upset somebody with your next comment.

Everybody here has feelings.

I can hold my own/give as good as I get during a discussion/difference of opinion but I did make a thoughtless, uncalled-for remark once which has now been deleted because it's nothing to be proud of.

Yes, I could easily put names into groups (as suggested), but that isn't going to happen. After reading regulars posts on a daily basis for 5 years, I do have quite a good idea about the person behind the username. I know others do too.

Most will know what group/groups they fall into. Some won't care. Some will. It takes all sorts to make a forum!

And if this thread makes me sanctimonious, so be it. I would sooner be that, than bury my head in the sand and turn a blind eye.

If I feel that something needs saying to make things better, I say it. End of.

Feel the love :)

[Salsaboy]

I'm feeling it baby.

[Earl Aelfheah]

How about the passive aggressive

[Otta]

I already said that.

Ooo and "The Victim".

See what I did there.

[aquarius moon]

What do you both mean by passive aggressive?

No I didn't see Otta! What did you do?!

[Otta]

Don't worry AM, wasn't digging at you.

[Earl Aelfheah]

How about the passive aggressive... Oh and the repetitive

[Earl Aelfheah]

And the repetitive

[Earl Aelfheah]

Am I 'the victim' enough to make you paranoid this thread. Oh yeah 'the paranoid'

[Tarot]

It takes all sorts,spice of life you know.

Haha, no.

I was talking about the type of poster that claims they're being bullied as soon as anyone disagrees with them.

"Well excuse me for having an opinion on my area, clearly not allowed with the EDF clique" type thing.

[Dopamine1979]

The type that wanders in and out of threads posting random gifs.
