Sweet Pete Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 25 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said: Ach actually I'm kind of messing about because I'm bored - kind of. I know this place thrives on piss taking and I'll no doubt have said some not very nice things in posts as well. There is a bit of a culture though whereby individuals get taken against for whatever reason and then it's open season to make up rubbish about them and goad them into reactions which can then be characterised as "head's gone", "meltdowns", evidence of "seething" etc. It can be relatively harmless, but it can also sometimes not be. I don't see threads like this as helping with that, but they're popular, so batter on. I think the '"if you don't like it, don't read it" line is pretty lame though, when these threads often rely on summoning the latest poor sod to bear witness. Translation: "I only took it too seriously before I realised that was precisely why I was being made fun of. I'm now making a half hearted, mealy mouthed attempt at claiming I'm simply stopping other people from becoming upset by also not understanding how an irreverent discussion forum works". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I'm saying at all, but don't worry about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Surely not tagging someone is worse? Essentially having a go without giving them the notice and right to reply if you don’t. A coward’s move IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the "ignore" function as well, I know there's a couple of posters that are very big fans of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality discussion about respecting people's metal health and the forum being exceptionally good at self-policing that type of shit. Hopefully someone loses the head about it so they can be pointed and laughed at in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
