Maybe - maybe not. But that is not what this is really all about. That is very secondary.
Oh no, I just meant this forum is a mans world with only 3 posting females here.
I get, what you are saying, but in my experience, sometimes making an effort (even more so, when it is something more important then this) CAN make a difference and during all the years I have been on fan boards, I have seen, you can change things in pointing them out. There isn't anything more you can do -. that is true, but that you can. Does it always work? No, of course not...but sometimes is a good enough quote for me.
I think that post was tongue in cheek, not meant to be taken really seriously (and I'm a Brosnan fan).
Sorry, royale, but that is wishful thinking,.its not the first time and I doubt, this can be seen as harmless humour. Or were his recent nazi remarks funny, too?
But IF indeed my post is discussed, I don't want to make it a Getafix subject. Its about this type of poster in general. He is just the most prominent right now, nothing more.
Ignore them and they will go on for as long as they are allowed to - until they are banned,, everybody, who dislikes their posts (and I know, I am not the onlyone) have to bare with it and IMO, its the people themselvesm, who should moderate their fellow members and being less afraid of debates would help a great deal. Its not as bad as having these people hijack every thread they choose.
And I think he likes Craig.
I don't allow it, I've had a go at him for it before. But little things like the post you quoted don't bother me.
From the reactions here and the general mood i expect this to be a lost case, but it still feels good to very clearly question those people and the way we deal with them. Thanks for the fair answers though...
I so agree with this. Some derive pleasure from creating discord and meanspiritedness. I try to ignore as much as possible, but sometimes one has to say something. It is just not okay after all.
@Germanlady, I have not been on these boards very long, and I don't think you and I have ever exchanged comments, but I haven't noticed all that many occasions where people have gone out of their way to cause trouble for others. There have been one or two occasions where things have got a little heated because of some people's extreme views and stances on a subject, but to be fair, this is the same of any board on the internet. I think this place is rather friendly compared to somewhere like IMDb or something like that. I can see your point, but are things really that bad?
The moderators cannot be expected to read every single post made, but without being alerted to issues / problems it is hard to sort matters out.
@Baltimore - this thread and conversation is almost over, so excuse me for not going into detail now again. And obvioously, people feel I am exaggerating anyway, so its not worth the trouble.
@Brady - those people DON'T HAVE an opinion, like I said, apart from their dislike of someone/something.
I have tried to take this away from the personal level and make it a general issue about how to better - IMO - deal with certain posters. I just based it on my own experiences and thoughts.
The ONE thing, that REALLY bothers me though is, that I was branded DC's mother hen for defending him, which in a way legalises the attacks, but brands the defence as unneccesary and unwelcome. This stinks, I am sorry to say. Kickerikiiii!!!!
Thanks for listening and a good Sunday to all.
But please try not to treat it as a forum for voicing criticisms or concerns about the behaviour of other members. We can deal with some of these issues from behind the scenes.
The first glas of wine is on me...
It was about time, let's get back on track!
Good to see you here @SirHenry, I think I speak for all the girls here, you are always welcome in our humble home :)
Ah let's pop some bubbly together, Sandy and GL. I hope for real some day!
And where do you get these fun emoticons, Sandy? That's not one I can click on here, is it? I didn't see it ...
