taz24 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 but please just think.that one spiteful remark. is it really worth losing and upsetting the other member on this site. I DONT THINK SO suzy I'm new to the site and I've tried to be a good boy But I'm not new to Forum sites so hopfully I know how to behave. I do agree with you Suzy I have found a few coments on occasions a bit offensive (none aimed at me). I give most people two or three chance's, everybody has a bad day and somtimes people post things that in the cold light of day they may of thought twice about. I take people as they come . There is always an ignor button we can use Cheers taz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Suzy - I would appreciate being given an example. I contribute to 5 forums and this, together with Gundeals, is one of the most friendly. I see that people do not always agree and debate gets "robust", but this site is far less tolerant (and rightly so) of idiots who set out to stir up trouble. I was made to feel welcome from day one and have never regretted joining. Happy New Year to you and the rest of the Forum. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 If everybody was nice to each other and agreed all the time then ANY forum would be in danger of becoming a boring and dull place . Can't see a problem myself has the majority of posters here are realistic and level headed but having a few bad apples is good for the entertainment value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Mrs Sweepy has made her point and if people can't see the examples of what she is referring to, then she is not obliged to substantiate her comment. Too often new members are unfairly jumped on and this has been commented on in the past. We also had two threads over the weekend concerning the Sevenoaks shooting and the policewoman shooting, where attacks were made on the police and journalists and when members posted, who were in those professions, they received some unpleasant responses. If people have had unfortunate experiences with members of any job group or profession, its not reasonable to assume all members of that job group or profession are exactly the same. Hopefully, people will think a little more carefully how they respond in future. We are often accused of being too censorial and tough in our moderating of this site, but its our intention to ensure that it remains a friendly and pleasant place to visit.

Mrs Sweepy Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 you only have to look on general banter ,in the last few days to see what i mean. yes and i do know that a lot of it is done in a jovial way. but not always but i was always bought up to respect people and their opinions . and sometimes i think that is missing from here and yes people do get upset by some of the comments that are aim at then . if i or you think that was a bit below the belt . what do the person it was aim at think suzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patterdale Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well said Cranfield. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, that may not be shared by other people, thats why we are a free Country. Unfortunately some people take a 'pop' at proffesions mentioned on these Forums and sometimes individuals. In all professions they are good and not so good people, I am ex Police retired now, so feel confident to make that remark. I had lots of friends in the job i would count as friends, and likewise lots of ex colleagues i would not cross the road to help if you see what i mean. I like this site and other similar sites, they dont need spoiling by a minority few. Oh and Happy new year to you all. Particularly you Mrs Sweepy lol.

Mungler Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 You need a bit of lively debate, or of course we could just fill the pages up with jokes and slag off the other shooting sites and their moderating teams - that appears to be a way to fill the pages of a forum up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salisburykeeper Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I agree 100% i voiced my opion on a recent posting and became a bit of a target for some of the less intelligent people on the forum, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and getting personal comments over posting an opinion ,that is not specifically aimed at an individual !should be moderated.!! the forum would not become dull if everyone where pleasant to each other, if you are toting for arguments perhaps its time for pastures new and leave the grown ups to have conversations. The forums have certainly taken a hostile turn of late,Im up for a laugh as much as the next man and i really dont see why we cant all play nice!

jayward Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I see your point fully and i also am a member of many forums not all shooting based this site has some lets say "restraint " healthy and vigorous debate is more than often than not enjoyed by the participants and viewers and contains no intended malice or insults , Sometimes i believe that txt alone and not real communication crates huge misunderstandings .It is often difficult and time consuming to put across your point in a manor that could not possibly be taken out of context !!! Often if the people involved where to actual sat chatting in person !! On the same subject the would be less of an issue ,, And then theres just the odd person who just has it in them to pick a fight or claim to be insulted, Its like there integrity and resolve disappears behind a keyboard ... But i agree its often Nice to be nice !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J@mes Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 If people are getting upset by things that are posted on a web based forum, they need to get out more! so what if Barry from Aberdeen thinks all police officers are cocks - you dont know him, you will probably never meet him and its not like you have to get on because you live next door to him. calm down people, its the internet.....
