“to play Devil’s Advocate, why should the non friction chatters get to decide the atmosphere of the room ?” “Devil’s Advocate’ seems to be a phrase used on here when one wants to be deliberately argumentative and/or confrontational (IMHO, obviously).” It is difficult to disagree with that. However, for me playing Devils Advocate is to argue or debate the opposite viewpoint of your own. So in this context I was making it clear that non frictional, fluffy chatters (like me) should get to set the tone of the room rather than the trolls. Yet the abrasive frictional chatters do have their place in the room and equality must prevail. So for the sake of equality I raised the opposite point. That is playing Devils Advocate for me in the context I used it In a different context, yet relevant, to make my point without using the term Devils advocate, if Just Chat was a pub and had a diverse range of clientele, thus some division, should the non frictional drinkers decide the atmosphere of the pub over the rowdy frictional drinkers, or the Irish decide ahead of the Scottish? or the ManUtd fans decide over the Liverpool fans, or the blacks drinkers decide over the white? or the christians over the jews ? No of course not. So my valid question is, why do the non frictional nice and fluffy chatters get to decide how the room should be? and why do they feel they have the undeniable exclusive rights to decide how the atmosphere of the room shall be? So whatever type of chatter you are, you are welcome and equal as everyone else. Call that Liberalism if you like
The difference being, a pub with as many arguments, threats and fights would soon be closed down.
Ffs I still have sleepless nights from when I was banished to forum 2 in the dark and distant past, I was thinking of putting a compo claim in for causing unnecessary suffering.
Bloody helly Netty that does bring back memories lol.
Netty?
Yes..Netty…unless I really have gone Batty. Netty changed his name yonks ago on the boards. Or did he?
Yeah I’ve always been this on the boards, NettySwackers was my Sunday name that was reserved for the room, or sweaty balls as pb used to lovingly call me, he loved me really I could tell
My Mam sorted hers out last year, she seemed a little stressed while deciding on the details of everything but once it was done she seemed so much more relaxed and it’s never been mentioned since.
Looks like a bit of lady lurvvee you got going on there Laine. When are you putting the full pic up coz this is just like the teaser you get on them video sites that people have told me about, right?
F3 has not seen the 100 plus users it used to for months recently. It’s like the Marie Celeste & you would know that if you used the room.
I do use the room and I have seen over 100 chatters in the evening and late evening.
Well from what I remember, on a Saturday night it used to be a real struggle to get in the chat room from mid to late evening so it should be interesting to see who is correct about the number of chatters.
Btw Tapioca, you come across as a proper mardy arse.
