As the recipient of them I did, and was pleased to see someone else pick up on the connotations of the statement.
But as I said, I am sure there where not meant to come across as they sound!!
Completely agree, but it seems they are OK for some but not for others ..
I for one dont belong to any... I follow a thread, and somtimes agree or disagree with a member, it will all depend on the content of the thread.
In saying that I have made some lifelong friends through the world of forums, and will be forever thankful
I cant do the multi quoting thing
But i have said on forums before that i would like to meet people in person to see if they are the same. Not to beat them up
Im the least violent person you could meet!!! But genuine curiosity. Especially if that person has been aggressive/antagonising in a thread towards me, i would be genuinely interested to see if they were the same in "real life". Generally, i think those who bully on the internet would say boo to a goose in person
(Disclaimer before i get jumped on!!! I wasn't saying Jackbox or anyone else was bullying, but just as an example
).
I guess maybe there is that over-sensitivity you guys were on about again?? Some people have trouble being tactful in posts, or struggle to say things as they truely mean them to come out. So its all about how you interpret it. but to accuse CC of threatening members based on that is a little far fetched i think. Having spoken to CC via PM she is a genuinely lovely person. She supported me through the spaying of my precious Delilah as her chi was done a few days before. She seems to me like, although she wont take any cr@p, she will do whatever she can to help someone in trouble. Maybe she could have re-worded some things better, and i dont agree with the personal insults, but having read the thread, she was certainly being hounded. Not excusing it, but we all react differently to being backed into a corner!!! But i dont think in any of her posts she has threatened violence!!!
I do agree with the highlighted part of minis post though, very true.
