Is it just me! - SV650.org

30-01-11, 09:50 AM

I am pretty new to this forum but, for me, there seems to be a handful of people who want to just make sarcastic (stupid really) comments to posts from certain people.

Personally, I am never going to be everyone's cup of tea, I am opinionated, I do struggle to suffer fools but if I don't think I just post sarky comments because I can. I think it is a shame but I guess that you can't legislate for stupidity and ignorance. So from my point of view can I ask that if you have nothing constructive or humorous to say in relation to my posts, you just ignore them.

All opinions welcome in this instance!

Thanks you.

Standard Internet Warrior routine really mate, even this site has trolls that need to be fed once in a while

If it really gets on your nerves the ignore function is your friend

don't take that's posted on here to serious mate-it is a public forum and as such if you post stuff on it be prepared for folk to reply with stuff you don't like or agree with-your pi$$ will be taken-it happens to everyone.
If you don't want replys or comments that might upset you don't post-I say if you ask someone a question or comment about something always be prepared to hear what you might not want to hear for an answer.

Just have to add though, people are very different on here than when you meet them.
Tone of voice and sense of humour is often lost in text.

*edit*

If you think its bad here, nip over to gixerjunkies or pistonheads....

Buy a BMW, grow a beard, get a dog and go make yourself a nice cup of tea.

No I agree with the op a bit, there are certain people on here who are always right, argue every little point just for the sake of it, post stupid quotes from your posts way out of context just to get a reaction.

If ever the couple in question spoke to me in front of me that way I wouldn't be so nice.
On the whole though most people on here are truly good folk and face to face you'd like them, it's easier for me count people I'm not keen on than like, put it like that.

BBD in real life is shy, retiring and quite introverted.

He's quite a nice guy from a distance too.
