    Ok so up to now I have kept my mouth shut, but I have to be honest I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer.

    I like you all in here, I see it for what it is, some harmless fun, banter, chat – call it what you will.
    However in some threads the tone is often lowered to become a slagging match against Will and, for all I see that sometimes Will provokes this I do often think some of the comments are uncalled for and could be considered a form of bullying.
    I don’t think its intended as bullying in many cases, but often its the apparently innocent comments which can have a profound effect on someone.
    I don’t genuinely think Will comes in here to provoke, I do sometimes think he types before he speaks and it often gets him into these disputes, however, there are often cases where someone just passes a sly comment to his detriment for the sake of it.
    I am beginning to feel sorry for Will on these occasions.
    I understand some of you have your differences with him for whatever reason, but coming here should be an enjoyable experience for everyone, not just those who laugh at others expense. Its beginning to become tedious and boring.

    We can’t all be perfect and admittedly there are faults in many of us who come here, be it spelling, literacy, tact, lack of wit whatever but can we please stop this petty ‘get at will’ thing, it is becoming increasingly like playground bullying and its not nice.

    Ok so I have had my say, do with it what you will. I frankly don’t care if it changes your perception of me. I just thought it was time something was said.
    For the record other than reading the posts in here I don’t actually know any of you that well so all I perceive is what is said on the boards.

    Yep, to me it’s all just playful banter.

    I happen to like Will’s posts, all taken and responded to in a lighthearted joking way. Don’t even know him to make it personalin any way.

    Apologies to Will if I have offended :?

    Ok Suz so long as Will really is Ok with it. Sometimes people say they are when really they are not. If it is just banter thats fine but at times I have read comments that have made me cringe thinking that it was more than banter in some cases. Sometimes, text comes across different to how it was intended I suppose. If you look back though, it would seem Will cannot pass a comment without some negative ‘banter’ coming back at him. Is that fair? We all give and take banter in here but its becoming that the poor bloke cannot post without someone having a go, regardless of how its intended.

    Will needs to roll with it.. thats my take on it, and i cant see anything to make anyone cringe to be honest.
    Ok he got hot under the collar with the spelling stuff and in the main it’s stopped but please dont expect anyone to say anything now and then when your spelling is that bad, it’d happen in the workplace it’d certainly happen on here. If you just roll with it and fire back with a little self parody it usually finds a decent level.
    You cant just post without thinking, well you can but if a lack of tact is seen and pointed out just learn from that dont whinge and say what did i do.
    Will keeps on about people hating him.. no one does. I certainly dont, i’d have a pint with him, i’d take the piss and expect it to be taken back at me
