If someone's comments contain a few erroneous words this should not make his or her post/comments any less valid. Nor should it be a cause for as some have put it "open season" for bullying comments.
Ah hah, however, the
first line of the forum rules states: "No 'txt speak' - please use proper English (this includes the prohibition of the phrases 'lol', 'end of' and 'Fact.')".
I am a big believer that whither or not I agree with them, if there are rules laid down then it is up to me to follow them. I visit other sites where there isn't so much emphasis on such things, but they have other rules of their own. If you agree to be a member of a community like this, then you agree to play by the rules and if you don't then you have noone to blame but yourself for what happens.
These ones who have grown accustomed should wake up and realise they are now part of a wider and more dynamic group who all share a common interest just the same as they do
I have been visiting this site for about six years now, maybe longer and yet I only joined just over a year ago. This site has ALWAYS been a bitchy moany place, in fact I think it is a damn site less bitchy now than it was a few years back. People need to realise not to take things so seriously and just get on with it.
but instead of throwing the toys out of the pram and causing unrest because there is new members who's ability levels may differ from there own,
I'd like to think that I personally do not pick on new people because they are new, I pick on someone because either I don't agree with what they are saying or because I think they are being a bit of a fool (that is when I tend to use the word 'tit'). I'd like it noted that plenty of the longer term members on here have suffered a bit of a slagging from me cos they have said something daft or cos they think that twixs are better than kit kats but I expect them to give the same back. Especially if they actually believe that Dominos are better than Pizza Hut... the fools! I've noticed that the people that tend to last are the ones who don't take either themselves or the board too seriously and take it all with a pinch of salt.
PS: Just to hit the nail in the coffin of this little post, the last line of the above quote should read "differ from
their own". Sleep well.
