I have noticed lately that all the threads that end up in the trashcan have a common denominator.
Be it the people who do the things in the title or what they do.
Just wondering why we allow this. I don’t mind a good back and forth on the subject but when you get certain people involved in a thread it just automatically goes to the trash can.
They can’t keep to the subject.
They degrade all who have opposing views.
Who’s the guiltiest?

I'm not naming names. But their initials are glo-bal warm-ing. Seriously, I know what you're talking about. I'm sure there've been some good threads closed or thrown into the trash can that, had the back-and-forth bickering been kept to a minimum, would've continued to be good threads.

Yea I think that some people get too carried away with some stuff and they tend to get off the intended topic and start making fun of people. It's not right.

Funny thing is that these same people who make these derogatory remarks don’t follow the thread into the trash can.
That in some cases is where these people belong.
You disagree with me fine, I can accept that but do they need to become belligerent and disrespectful also?

Some are probably bored and do it intentionally as a source of entertainment.
Or are just plain mean spirited individuals who like to vent on persons they deem as easy targets. Those targets are people and some peope dont like being a target so they fight back.
Simple solution the the problem is go elsewhere... like maybe the "other" forum. Trash talking the governmetn or government (PUBLIC) officials is one thing but attacking forum member for thir views, physical or economic conditions is something completely different... and un called for.

Yeah. Lately, that would be 84Bill.
Bill, YOU KNOW you like to push people's buttons. When you do that, it's a pretty good bet that you're going to piss them off. You might find that if you stopped doing that, people would be FAR less likely to get personally insulting with you.

I gotta agree there. Disagree with someones point of view all you want. That what a forum is all about, isn't it? But behave like an adult. Don't call the other forum member a childish name like an 8 year old schoolboy would. If thats all you have, your point is pretty weak.

Toddster hasn't been the one making the posts that send the threads to the can. And I assume you know that Bill likes to push people's buttons.
Right. Nothing wrong with any of these statemens, eh?

Yes, spoken like a perfect gentleman. BTW, one quote ISN'T from your hero, Fierobear.
Please see my earlier post, wherein I say: Disagree with someones point of view all you want. That what a forum is all about, isn't it? But please behave like an adult. Don't call the other forum member a childish name like an 8 year old schoolboy would. If thats all you have, your point is pretty weak.

And Bill NEVER ONCE called me any names in the thread that was trahed last night. Not once! (About 50+ times.)
Bill, did I call you a name at all in the thread last night? Nope! I just basically said instead of whining about how people insult you for living off the welfare to get a job. Then people wouldn't insult you about milking the welfare. I was a bit more harsh because I'm sick of you whining about your character.

So what are you doing bear? I'll tell you... your pushing my buttons and it better stop becasue the common theme is total bullshit.
What are you going to do now? Say I started trouble with YOU when you just go done calling me out BY NAME?
It takes two to tango. And Toddster is an eager and willing dance partner.
The MAIN difference is I dont start off by calling people out and use their name to slander their character. For example. NO ONE mention ANY names in this thread until fierobear opened that up and as usual it's my name that came up... ME once again being brought under fire and being force to first defend then offend and if need be call for assistance. I shouldn't have to deal with being called out in every god blessed thread I make a post in, NO ONE SHOULD! For a while there I was being called out in threads I DID NOT EVEN POST IN!!!!!!! Thats total bullshit! This forum doesnt belong to me but it is my forum too and I do have a right to access it WITHOUT being attacked relentlessly!!!
No one should tolerate such attacks against their person for any reason.
I think if I did that I'd be banned in a minute but it seems there is a select few members WHO DO GET AWAY WITH IT time and time again.
I sick of seeing my name mention in the 3rd person (as if I'm a straw man to be played with) and I'm sick to DEATH of the character assassinations, personal and ad-homeonim attacks perpetrated BY THE SAME 3 PEOPLE EVERY GOD BLESSED TIME!!!
And I'm not the only one who they attack regularly.
I'm getting sick of it.

Yeah and you always stay on topic.. The reason it was trashed is because you came into that thread and went off on me. You insulted me and I dont like being insulted so yeah I hurled back some choice words of my own. So go ahead and play the innocent victim of some brutal thug who likes to call people names for no reason...
You refuse to accept responsibility for you actions and if you continue your tirade you will add yet another trashed thread to that long list of yours.
I dont care what you do but you wont lay me out and use me as your whipping post becasue you had a bad day... No sir you can step right off that idea right now. Your best bet is to SKIP MY POSTS but you cant because YOU LACK SELF CONTROL!
Go get your facts straight Ace.

I think forums in a lot of ways are no different than life in the real world. ..meaning that you can encounter someone in the work place, on the street, or wherever, who is generally an argumentative or "arrogant" person... or simply in a bad mood. Of course it will show in the way that they speak towards others. I think another key factor is that many forum members have developed relationships (good or bad) due to frequenting the board for an extended period of time and becoming familiar with one another . That being the case... it is natural for some to dislike others. So these people will be a lot quicker to jump on another when maybe it's not needed. Point is, is that it's going to happen whether we like it or not. I also don't think it is fair to single out certain individuals... and label them as the bad seeds. Most of us are guilty of questionable comments from time to time, and it is always very easy to jump on the bandwagon and gang up on one person, which is not fair. ...One thing I would like to see, is for those who are involved to sort out their differences through p.m.. When things get ugly, it doesn't need to be a public spectacle. In reality, that will never happen either, because when you choose to spit in the face of someone you dislike, you want an audience. ...it's unfortunate, but it's human nature.

Yes, I insulted you in that thread, Bill. Get a job and I and many others wouldn't have to resort to insulting you to drive our point home with you.
No ignorance, arrogance, degradation, name calling, or thread diversion was used in the posting of this post. Only facts.......Bill has no job. Bill cries character defamation even though his character is being attacked based on truths.
No name calling, ignorance, arrogance, degradation, name calling, or thread diversion was used in the creation of this post.
You attempted to ONCE again make it appear that you were the hapless victim of my name calling.. YOU WERENT! you INITIATED it.
Dont EVEN go around this forum portraying me in a bad light by pretending that you were the sweet an innocent victim of an unsolicited attack. You weren't. You initiated it and cliff put it in the cane becasue YOU STARTED IT
You trashed that thread becasue you just had to call me out, you lack self control. Poor stressed aceman. I dont care how hard you work eveyday, your antisocial destructive behavior and hatred needs to be controlled.... one way or the other. I dont give a flying rats ass how you do it but if you call me out.. I'll be there with bells on.
