Hostility on forums.....

Yeah, I think Pedro has it pretty much right here.
I think most people post here with a bit of humour, and have a bit of a laugh.
I am definitely slightly away from the pack in how I think about certain things, and that's ok. Its pretty rare that I read anything that I think is hostile, and I dont really think people get terribly offended by things I or others write.
If everyone was sitting about patting each other's backs, it would be pretty dull.
Voice a different opinion, have a giggle and rip the pi$$ a little, or both.

Who asked your opinion?! Did we ask you to come in here?!
Only kidding Laura
How's the leg now? and any news from your insurers?

p.s. sorry for the slight derail here

As well as this site I am also on a site for astronomy (?) and a couple of biker sites too, but as paws says this is a pretty friendly place to hang out and tbh the other sites are all far too cliquey, Im glad Im part of this one tbh

sounds interesting!!

i like this site and will stay after i get rid of the SV!!

Actually you've all got a point there about this place seeming to be less "cliquey/clicky". I used to frequent Yahoo Internet Chat site, and jeez you wouldn't believe how cliquey they were ... It was all "Well you've insulted my friend, so I'm going to insult you ...", or "If so-n-so comes in this room, we're all leaving and not coming back until they've gone ..." AND YES THESE ARE ADULTS! PMSL I remember one girl being picked on because she was very very pretty - basically some of the other "more gravitationally and cake challenged" girls started viscious rumours that the pics were fake.

Oh happy days LOL
