My goodness I hope you didn't pay money for him to give such an insightful view. It's surely just stating the bleeding obvious. And is the very reason they were created. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most certainly...point being that certain people on here need to realise that instead of getting their knickers in a twist! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,821 Posted December 15, 2016 Those 50 per cent are basically just one person Mrs Taylor Nan Joannie Taylor. I don't know how we came from a fairly friendly amicable forum to one filled with bile to some. It seems the fun has been replaced with attack and the multi aliased posters. Sad really. There are some really good knowledgeable decent constructive posters around however many threads are spoilt with "my club/track/team is better than yours". 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baba 562 Posted December 16, 2016 So isn't the cry baby the person who started the thread? I don't see anybody else complaining about these issues. Some people can't help themselves and start threads about nothing and need to be loved by a little band of followers to get through the misery of daily loneliness.

Countershaftcounter 360 Posted December 23, 2016 I love the posters who underline certain quotes or USE LOTS OF CAPITALS, as if this seems to make their point of view more important than anyone else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Countershaftcounter 360 Posted December 25, 2016 I take it you don't understand the word emphasis. :rolleyes: I take it you don't understand the concept of excessive use of capitals in the modern written mediums either ? It's viewed as shouting and is used by the kind of people who write FACT as the only way of backing up their point of view and believing that the use of capitals makes it so.

Villain 94 Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Yep, it takes a hell of a lot of will power with some of the clowns on here i can tell you.. Hahaha. What an absolute classic. Never fails to amuse.

It's viewed as shouting and is used by the kind of people who write FACT as the only way of backing up their point of view and believing that the use of capitals makes it so. I understand the English Language perfectly well. I come from a time when we wrote letters by hand, when we were supposed to be grammatically correct and when spelling was a more than useful attribute. I do not particularly care how various things are regarded on the Computer. I cannot change my upbringing any more than you can change yours - FACT. There should be room on the Forum to accommodate all of our foibles without criticising all of those people who can't/don't/won't go along with the norm. You can count me among the won't by the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can count me among the won't by the way. Even though it's breaking forum rules? You surprise me you naughty person. Please do not post in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS; this is the Internet version of shouting, and is irritating to many posters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
