Social Media (that includes this forum...!)

Why do you feel the need to be so negative and disparaging towards someone who simply posted something on the internet? Do suffer from depression?

I was pointing out the irony in the situation I dont see how that makes me a potential depression sufferer. I will agree social media is too big and platforms such as twitter are ****ing life sapping (not that I'm on it might I add) but not everyone uses facebook ect to post duck face pictures of themselves asking their "internet friends" to comment on it.

I also suspect that he did the video to gain some sort of internet celebrity status or for some personal gain as he could have done some kind of sound bite rather than having a camera pointing at himself.

Maybe I'm very sceptical of people but this is the internet after all.

Ironic fail!

Edit: oh I see what you're saying now. How ironic is that irony for the ironic man.

Seems to me your posts on this thread are aimed at me, not just the irony in the video.

Shame that people have to do that to strangers on the internet. Still more to be pitied than scolded I suppose, people only make themselves look bad when they do it.

Anyway, I have a way of dealing with those kind of people - stop replying, they can't keep writing posts that have a pop at themselves (unless they really are mentally ill), so see ya!

Sorry but how is any of those quotes bar the last one aimed at you? I was pointing out the irony of HIM posting the video as in your original post you made no opinion on what you thought of it so I'm amazed at how you managed to put those together.

My third post is aimed at you as you insinuated that myself and SVNewbie had no life for pointing out the irony.

Also aren't you ralph? Who had a paddy and left this social media platform because no one would agree with you only to return to this social media platform under another name pretending to be someone else...And my glass is half empty.

Just to respond to one of Wideboys points for the benefit of others.

My username did indeed used to be -Ralph-, like many others who have changed username/account over the years.

I don't recall having a paddy or leaving the forum, I think a post count of over 200 for the last year demonstrates that.

I did however make a conscious habit of breaking the forum habit and using it much less for some of the reasons described in this video. It struck a chord with me which is why I posted it.

hello young man.

A Thread started with an ironic video being negative about the increasing use of technology results in the original poster telling other people they're being negative about the video? all the while using the very technology it's complaining about?

If we all disappear up our own backsides in a couple of pages time don't say you weren't all warned.


Now I'm off to smash some textile mills in solidarity.

Seems one is able to change username but there is still no checkbox for multi-quote pomposity. Maybe a change request to admin is required?

I was always under the impression that they didn't want to encourage it.

Can you imagine the depths of discussion if it was EASY (easier, rather) to multiquote?
