If these people squeak you that much why don't you have it out with them in private?
Whips,
I think everyone goes through phases where the forum in general, or certain forumites in particular, annoy or frustrate them. Unfortunately it's all subjective; what annoys you will perhaps make me laugh or vice versa. What you see as being 'nicer' when people aren't around may seem dull to someone else.
It's a public forum and we all have our opinions, our reasons for using it, our 'ways' of posting.
Sometimes I read posts that make me cringe, gasp, tut, roll my eyes, laugh (and sometimes not because it's funny wink) but all those reactions are personal to me and the same threads may seem totally different to you.
There are plenty of people who do all of the things you list - but then I don't consider many of the things on your list to be 'issues' or things that bother me - if you are offended by some of those types of post or styles of posting, then skip over them. If you believe a poster has a personal problem with you then ignore them, ask them via PM or report them.
Forums are a strange beast.
All life is here Ms_Whips and nothing about a common sexual proclivity or two makes us perfect people ... Ignore what you don't like!
As Nola says, Forums is strange beasts! wink

if you are including me anywhere on the above list just drop me a PM.

Flower, you have a pm :giggle:
Forums, they go in waves and circles. People come and go for many reasons, because they move on, they get board, they move to the chatrooms, don't use the site or we stop them from using the site :lol2:
Some I like their style of posting, some constantly feel the need to dig at others, some make me laugh or cry and to be honest, thats exactly what its like in my place of work. I could staple a persons hand to the desk sometimes redface
I just get what I want from the site and realise that the forum is going up or down on a wave of members whether I am here or not in the same way most other forums work :thumbup:
Could be me then? pmsl though I hopefully am wrong. wink
Well rocket science it ain't!
However, it seems you've just done exactly what you're bemused about so I'm a little confused as to what you expect everyone else to do about it.
And round and round in circles we go. lol

on many occasions in this forum i see;
certain people who have digs at others constantly.....
people who are supposed to be happy always picking at others.....
those who complain about one thing and another.....
some who post about how great their love life is (sometimes while doing the above).....
those who flirt or sexually banter.....
posts that are quite blatant and open about what they are doing and who with.....
i see all that and then.....
i see those very same people having a go at others who they think are doing the same!
these people then acuse others of bullying, pedantry, whining, or they need a 'sick bucket', tell others to 'get a room', and accuse of being indiscrete.
i also notice that these people seem to ignore others who are like themself.
surely if you post in a certain way you have no right to comment on someone else who you think is doing the same. i say 'think' as sometimes comments are made where actually something very different could be going on. i'm not talking about debates that go on and get heated, just the way some are generally. i just don't get why they have to be like that :dunno:
lastly, i also see that when those certain people arn't in the forums (and i'm told chat too as i rarely venture in there) it's so much nicer.

Sometimes I'd love to be honest and open in forum about people who piss me off but hey it takes different strokes etc... When I do think its gone over the mark and I feel that crapolla has reared its ugly head i'll say something but its not thinly veiled or disguised it short to the point and obvious and i'll leave it at that point. There are times when a moderator really pisses me off. At this point there's nothing you can do really to show publicly that your unhappy with them all you can do is PM them and tell them. Well to be honest that gives no satisfaction of any form and will bring no reasoned debate as in the end they are Moderators and your not nur nur nurnur nur unfair yes but true, and though unfortunate, it is the way it is, and I guess has to be so and i dont bother mailing them it for those sorts of reason.
The forums are a bear pit and as with the chatrooms you need people prepared to be metophorical wankers to keep them breathing. Lets be honest we all like the sensational threads and to a lesser or greater degree the bitchy ones. We are all in there in a circle thinking to ourselves fight fight fight but saying "oh my, oh my, shock horror how awful this is, it should be stopped".
Though its great to have happy birthday/wedding/sandwich threads when it ends up full of them its a shite read. It sometimes needs someone to start up a thread on How on earth could you shag a fat ugly bastard or why some women want black cocks only or a bareback pregnancy/condom/no-condom debate. to get things moving and "hopefully(wink wink)" more volatile i guess.
What I hate seeing is some older forumite member going onto a, for the sake of arguement, bareback thread and posting a link to a 5 billion page long thread dragged up from 1964 and saying "Whinge whinge why don't you use the search facility rather than start a whole new thread its been done sooo many times before". So fucking what just walk on by and let a new thread develope and either add something into the debate or butt out.
so there! flipa

actually DG you are very wrong!
i do not constantly have digs at anyone as i don't have a problem with anyone. also if i have something to say to anyone in the forum i am more than open about it and in no way sly about it.
nore do i go into a thread and highlight one little bit and pick at the way someone has written. i have actually never done that! if i highlight a point it's because i'm eithr asking a question or debating the point being made. nore do i go into a thread and just say to the op, well what do you think? as some do.
i very rarely complain in the forums at all and even when i do post in the steamroom it' usually to respond to someone else. however, i then don't moan about others who do complain all the time.
i have posted about my sex life, but i never need a sick bucket when others do the same. nore do i ever comment on others doing te same.
again, i may flirt andi do have sexual banter but i don't mak snide remarks about others doing the same!
i personally can be as blatant and open as i like about what i do and who with because it's the undersanding we have. however, i would never have a go at someone else for doing the same.
that is the whole point of my thread. the hypocrisy of some people who do these things and then moan about others or belittle someone for showing they are happy. people are welcome to have dig at me, on the understanding that they are just as likely to get it back. if i have had a problem with someone i have pm'd them. people can do what they like but that doesn't give them the right to have a go at others who are/maybe doing the same.
as for the last statement, it's purely personal from my point in the forums. as it's a general thing and not aimed at any one person it also covers chat as i've had conversations about this subject with others who do use chat and they have said the same for in there. i prefer the forum when there arn't people having digs, picking other's posts apart for no real reason or being snide towards someone who is just saying they are happy. however DG, if you care to say just why you think it's a sly dig please feel free to do so.

no i'm not powers as she highlighted all of it and i'm not being a hypocrite in any of it while the people i am talking about are and that is the point. i have not contradicted myself at all. i admit to doing some of those things but i don't gripe at others who do. i don't like others who do those things and then either can't take a dose of their own medicine or gripe at others. it's their hypocrisy i don't like.

Oh come off it Whips. You have in the past made little digs about other forum users and if I really could be arsed I'd search for some examples but as they were long before I took a couple of months break from this site, I won't waste my time. Almost EVERYONE has done it at some stage in their posting history and you're no exception.
All you seem to have done in this thread is berate others for being hypocritical and backbiting whilst being exactly that yourself. Btw, your 'advice' to me in pm was just an opinion of yours which wasn't even asked for at the time.
Some people get on, some don't. Get over it

That's okay... I really don't care! :giggle:
Wasn't meant as a spat or anything else... I just find it a little bit odd to moan about something then do it in your last sentence. Personal observation or not, it's still a dig to those who read it as such. Swings and roundabouts. Forums will never change, regardless of who's here and who isn't. People will get on or they won't. I find ignoring those who bug my tits the best way.

just like i didn't ask for your opinion or your advice sweetheart biggrin actually, if i remember rightly i said what i had to say to you in the steamroom after one of your rants in there. you took it to pm thinking, wrongly as i said at the time, that i had taken it personaly. as i said, i don't do little digs and nore am i sly enough to make thing look a certain way. i'm not sure who these other forum members would be that you are talking of as i don't have personal problems with anyone to be worth making that sort of effort. if i want to say anything to someone i just do, although i think i have only done so a couple of times and in pm. your vanity at taking my words to be aimed at you in the past has been astounding as i've told you before. however, just because something is not asked for doesn't mean it can't be given or offered. so thanks for your thoughts.
enjoy
whips
My memory isn't so deranged as to forget that the only time I have pm'd you first was over an issue which you decided to take to heart even though it had nothing whatsoever to do with you. As for your 'words' and my so called vanity, sometimes things you say can seem like you're aiming the bitch-stick as others have even noticed and remarked to me.
I like your use of the term rant too - after all isn't that what the steam room is there for? If I want to rant, I'll use the steam room and not start a thread for it.
oh, one last thing...............I'm not your sweetheart :dry:
