FLOUNCE OF THE DAY

Annette, I rarely get drawn into the insults as you know, it’s not my style. I like banter not insults, although there is a fine line between the two sometimes.

It was not the insult I was commenting on, it was your statement that you couldn’t see how you had insulted her. Generally speaking, people who insult others here know exactly what they are doing. I’m not sure whether it is better to insult someone and seem to be oblivious to it or to insult someone with deliberate intent…different sides of the same coin I guess. *shrugs *

As i said …. I, at this moment in time , don’t give a **** Jen … what ever i say here , gets twisted half the time .. so be it … as i said , i’m sure if Blonde is offended , she will let her feelings be known .

I wil say this though … Well done to Bully Boy …. he has done it again – but then , before you say it . i will ……… I let him , of that i am aware… but all the time he wants to keep playing these stupid games , i will respond . so maybe you need a word with him , and not me ? :roll:

Ummm…why would I want to have a word with anyone?

No actually, it isn’t all banter, a lot of it is insidious digs and blatant insults; the art of banter on the boards is indeed a dying art. However it seems to be what people want to read, as when it’s all kicking off the read counts increase dramatically and the number of people signed on and the guests soar. The attention of the lurkers soon drops off again once the furore has subsided, only then to be mauled over in the room by all the people who claim the boards are rubbish, that only saddos and attention seekers post there, whilst the irony of them reading avidly then talking about it in the room is lost on them.

Take that and put it with people who are busily trying to read between the lines and spaces between the words for any little hint of a dig so they can take umbrage and play the victim whilst launching a full scale attack on anyone who might have the nerve to say something tongue in cheek or even about something in their real life and it’s no wonder the majority of threads end up the way they do.

And all of that is a general observation, my opinion only, and if it offends anyone reading then maybe you should look at yourself and ask yourself why it offends you.

If anyone took it on themselves to pick up ever person who had a dig or insulted others, they’d have a job for life here. :roll:

I,v changed me mind … case I set upon!

Jen, i think the problem sometimes is that ppl want to take offence to give them the opportunity to launch into someone that they want to have a go at.
