Guest sheena Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 hi ya, loads of us agree with you!! there where a few of these posts weeks ago, but again turned into a slanging match!! there is really only a few (and we all know who they are!) people that like to do it to wind people up to get a reaction! and the trouble is they do get a reaction so they keep doing it!!!!!!!!! sheena :wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Working to fish Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 well tonight i have had a bitch at someone because they never shut up, but the reason for the bitch was because i know the people personally that were being belittled. eddie :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuju Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yep agree, isn't that what the chicken clicking is for to leave negative or positive feedback, if you receive negative feedback i think it shows on your lighted area too perhaps this should be done instead of bitching or ending with threads in a slanging match and being closed stuju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Curlysoo Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I totally agree ... it seems some people, maybe those who are dissatisfied with their own lives and are on a downer, hate to see others being upbeat and positive about their lives ...so try their damndest to pull them down or put a damper on things. I am NOT talkining about people who have a genuine debate on a topic and may have opposing views, coz that is healthy! I mean the few who want to argue black is white or day is night just for the Hell of it. Other sites have a three strikes and you are out policy, I feel it would be a shame to get to that level here on PIO ..... but should the disruptive few be allowed to continue upsetting the many?

I agree, I got upset last friday with certain people and it's not nice when sarcastic comments are made, lets try to keep all threads positive/informative and even negative in a nice way (if that's possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jaynie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 No the chicken clicker is only for approval, but I have found the report button in my quest, it's the exclamation sign next to the chicken...........Yes you probably all knew that anyway.......I was having a 'Blonde Moment' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siblin! Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 God , i'm all for sending certain people to Coventry. I think a united front and blanking them will starve their hunger for animosity. They really do, just do it for the kicks and in my opinion and are too uneducated, narrow-minded and ignorant to make a positive contribution to a discussion. Everyone is here to offer support encouragement and informamtion to each other , when we're up or down , why should a few people be made to feel important and in the process make others feel upset?:nah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saunders clan Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Naming no names of course........but I have to say certain threads are clearly started to rile the troops and cause chaos. Of course certain other members will post on these threads. Therefore the same members who clash are basically invited to argue. How do you stop this occurring?? I don't think you can. For those innocent genuine threads that turn into personal rows, it is the original poster and those who try to offer advice I feel sorry for. I have been on the receiving end of someone trying to mock my views which were only put forward to help someone. I also think that sometimes offence can be taken by the 'way' people post. I have felt cross with posts simply as I personally read them as cocky and corrective of other peoples genuine posts. I don't think there is an answer on how to stop these things. From my understanding from long term members this website has increased in size dramatically so personal, close relationships will die off and there is more chance of a clash in personalities. Anyway, don't really know what I've achieved in moving this thread along with my post today but there we go!!!!!!!:wacko: Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cantwait Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It seems that the people who are unhappy with their own situation take their fun in trying to belittle others who still have an open mind. It's like playground bully mentality. You see a thread from one of them and if someone dares to disagree you get sarcasm or insults as a response.
