Who thinks there are some people here who need to CHILL OUT?

I believe that March of The Dirt Queen was promptly zapped. Sorry for the mention, but it has to be said.

Wow, I wouldn't have noticed until you mentioned that. But I guess it was kind of necessary. I hate how people think it's okay to swear at others and demean them just because we're online and not in the real world. There's no reason to do that to somebody just because you think they've asked a stupid question or you don't agree with their opinion, which has been happening too often. After all, this is just a messageboard!

i agree!!! :)

I agree too. :o). Why can't we all be happy? lol

I think...umm...lemonade, anyone? :-)

Linda, if it was the case of me just "moaning about a few nasty words" then even I would be telling myself to chill out! I don't have a problem with people swearing at all (I do it myself), jeez I'm 38 and I've been around the traps and I don't behave like a nun and don't expect anyone else to.

What the problem here is:-

a) Certain people seem to make a consistent habit of insulting and abusing people, often with excessive foul language involved. Its not nice, its not appropriate and its not necessary. I've seen quite a few topics now where people have told these offenders to lay off the abuse.

b) Certain people's level of amusement for themselves is down in the gutter. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of websites out there that a generated specifically for people to post the lowest form of drivel they can think of - so don't post it here because its quite obvious that most people here don't appreciate it.

There has been a post in the last day or two relating to cloud9 which pretty much says the same. And others are agreeing there too.

Linda its simple. Many people I'm sure come here for different reasons, but I'd bet that this a place where people go to relax, have some fun and enjoy themselves. Possibly looking for friendship amongst others who have a common bond with them? Why should we on a whole be subjected to the few who decide that its their mission in life to be infernal pests on a website? Because unfortunately, that's what they are, vermin. I'm sorry to have to resort to insults but there is NO excuse for their disgusting behaviour.

I wonder how Linda will take it.

I can't say I've really noticed anything out of the ordinary. Maybe I'm too used to it here.

"The uptight one's who need to chill are the ones who keep moaning about some 'nasty' words. Grow up! :P"

- "Grow up"? So we are not grown ups if we don't like to hear/read foul language all the time? Excuse me, but I am of the opinion that classy people are the ones who do not constantly use abscenities in every sentence.

I am still in the old school, where clean language is part of perfect manners. I am not aiming for stiff moderation (here we go again...), but instead decency in an otherwise perfect online community.
And don't bring up that issue of sarcasm, Linda, like you always do. It won't work. Your interpretation of sarcasm is quite wrong and it shows.
