rocknrollman no2 Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 Dont take things so seriously FF. As others have said its just a messageboard for lots of us to let off steam. To be fair all of the posters i have met away from their keyboard have all been a decent bunch and ive actually made some good friends from this site. I tend to only read posts from certain posters(yourself included) and ignore posts from a few others. Anyway hope you keep posting on here FF.

um pahars Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 Yes but it's the way some people come out and say they don't believe or think something being said is wrong. FF said what he said and was called an outright "bullsh!tter" which is out of order. And I think that when those instances arise and someone acts like a twot, then the vast majority can clearly see who the prck is. I certainly think we could all have a look at how we talk to each other on here at times, but at the same time it is pretty obvious who the tssers, trolls and idiots out there are (and Fitzhugh Fella is certainly not amongst them).

SnailOB Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 FF, I rely on this site for my Saints news-fix and despite not posting much I visit several times a day. Genuine 'lurkers' like myself (20-odd posts in over 2 years FFS) rely on posters like yourself for snippets that we'd struggle to get anywhere else. If posters like yourself who are prepared to stick your neck out and take some flack become 'lurkers' too, then the value of this forum would diminish. I guess what I'm saying is for every member who pxsses you off, there's any number of 'silent' members who are grateful for your input. Seconded !

Micky Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 I come, I read, I decide what I think is bollix, and consign it to the 'bin'. I think that if I learnt anything over the course of the mamouth recent 'takeover' thread, posters on here are anything but ITK. Some like to think that they are, and rightly or wrongly, some appear to deliberately posture such a stance to give themselves some sort of creedance. Either way - to the poster, put your head above the parapit and expect some flak, to the reader, when you throw the flak, do so with some substance of your own and a degree of courtesy.

The boy done well Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 Well FF is the one poster whose information keeps me coming back, not to mention renew my membership of the forum. I reckon I speak for 95% of those regularly viewing it when I say it would be a disaster if FF stopped posting what he's heard even though he may need to couch it in careful terms to avoid disclosing his sources. Most of those with any information at all have decided not to post it because of the ridicule they get from a handful of idiots who know nothing and are at best (yes at best!) P...pey fans. It would be my view that someone ridiculing information given in good faith without being able to post a constructive reply as to why they feel it appropriate to do so should be banned as they wreck it for everyone else. Could I please ask FF and anyone else who feels they might have information which they believe that most of us might like to hear to keep on posting however small the snippet might be. Ignore the idiots as most genuine posters try to do I'm sure. I sometimes find it very difficult to see them as true fans and when they do post anything it's not the kind of stuff that will get the majority coming back for more.

Crab Lungs Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 I think you're right there in that people do take it too serious on here and everyone is guilty to some degree of talking bollix, waffle etc etc etc. With the exception of one or two wakners who cross the line the vast majority of posts/posters on here are fairly innocuous and as you say meeting posters in "real life" can often be a pleasant surprise. I reckon even sotonjoe isn't the cck he comes across as on here (PS sotonjoe the weather was great;)) I wonder how you'd categorize me, UP. cyber life - ******? real life - ******? perhaps?

Snowballs2 Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 do amaze me. Last week i posted an answer on trousers's questioning thread concerning pulis jnr. What i posted i knew to be 99.9% fact and yet one poster ridiculed it and called it bull****. I pm'ed him offering to reveal my source and complete the story (which was and still is a little sensitive). I said i would tell him if he kept it condfidential and once he had possesion of the facts would he edit the bull**** bit. Thought that was a reasonable offer. The person never even bothered to reply even though he has been a regular visitor on here since. I pm'ed him again this afternoon just in case he missed my first message but he has chosen not to reply. His right off course but wouldn';t it have been best if he hadn't made his ignorant comment in the first place? I do sometimes wonder the point of posting snippets if people rubbish it willy nilly and then don't even bother to find out more. This forum has some great posters and it is a good place to let off steam, find out things and generally chat to other saints addicts but some do nothing than insult and wind up hiding behind keyboards while wallowing in their anonyminity. Tbh i don't feel the point any more of posting things on here - can't be bothered with the crap. Perhaps i will just pm the people on here who are genuine with things i get to hear. I will lurk - after all this forum can be addictive, but that will be it, contribution wise for a while once this thread has run its course. Thank god i hear some say. don't do it buddy.

dubai_phil Posted 24 August, 2009 Share Posted 24 August, 2009 I wasn't fishing for praise or ridicule, by and large most on here have a little pop take the **** and move on. Fair does. But when you are trying to tell something which is a little awkward - almost inviting people to read between the lines - it is a bit of a bummer when you get a load of bull**** comments. Maybe I should be a little less precious, maybe i am too sensitive but some times just a little more thought before posting would work wonders. FF, snap out of it you melodramatic c*ck. (there, see I can do abuse sometimes) You are so much above this whole nonsense. The point is that this is a virtual world, not the real world. Every so often some of us make a mistake and get upset, so what, this is Second Life. You get snippets and rumours. Many do, some from old friends who work at the club, some from friends or family who work in the legal profession or other odd careers. The only time that any trouble really arises is the magic word FACT when it is used in a post. That is when a poster comes across to some as superior and it raises hackles and a response comes. It is so much easier to say, I had an interesting conversation with the bloke who washes the cars at the cement works. You will know, many of the lurkers will understand and be grateful to you and some will just abuse you. So what? Put the information up in the right way and it sits there. I did it with Al Fahim. Got tagged today but apart from that I was pretty certain of my facts and my sources, but I used poor humour or copious fingerbasedbullshine to get the comment in the open. Later on I can go back and sit here with a few smug told you so's but again not rubbing posters faces in it.
