Monkey Tennis Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Chris Partlow said: And you've called him an arsehole, inadequate, and now a 'weaselly bully'. Or does that not count as an 'assault' ? I don't think I called him an arsehole did I? A bit remiss of me admittedly, but I don't think I did. The circumstances of the 'assaults' were very different. His was unprovoked in the context of the language I'd initially used. He doubled down aggressively on his decision to open the thread. The contrast in how he responded when someone else raised similar objections a bit later, could not have been more marked. Quite simply, he felt he had more licence to have a go at me. Essentially, the actions of a bully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to take the high ground and forget about it imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pointed that out, said areshole had a ranty go at me. Depressing as Hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you'll see though, I was really quoting what someone else had said of him. However, I sure as Hell wasn't distancing myself from the sentiment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) People take things miles too seriously on these boards, experienced posters too - so no sympathy here. Whether it's red-dots which seem to cause plenty of upset or taking things other users have said to heart - It's childish. You have the ability to ignore posters and to turn off notifications if those are things you struggle with. You can also always log off or choose not to read a thread if you think you won't like its content. You can change the environment/experience to suit yourself without trying to make everyone else adapt to suit you. Please take advantage of that.

GHF-23 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 was too busy spending times with friends and family to see the offending thread, but I'm afraid it looks like GN has finally fallen if it's been fired into space - not really on to put it up a few days before Christmas mind you. This thread will soon be gone again due to the hateful "bullying" it apparently engenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're usually well in advance and bubble along until then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
