It's interesting at some level, I suppose.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of 'outrageous' posting or take arms against a sea of .....opinions...and by opposing, perpetuate end them?


Will one of Blackpool prom do?

it's all a big game that's why jackson but i will say here and now that i hate the holier than thou brigade that jump in saying they hate the forum wars yet they sit back and watch with glee(no list)
sorta net curtain twitcher type people.
just look at the forum count when there is a spat!

I rarely get involved with 'baiters' but if they (very subjectively) overstep the mark and start to expose their agenda by directing their toxic ramblings at named peeps (whom I like / respect), I find it difficult to keep my mouth shut. Why? Because, I suspect, that they thrive on knowing the masses are biting their lips. I don't get angry though; their opinion would have to mean something for that to happen.

*Crosses self *

i see, would it not just be better to leave well alone ? seems the sensible thing to do.

no piccies of canterbury cathedral, i notice..

Difficult one, Jackson?


Here:

Because they enjoy it..simple really.
Contessa`s right. The forum count goes up.
They come crawling out of the woodwork mob handed.
Those jungle drums must be taking a right battering

Have I missed summat again!

dunno katty, i couldn't make head or tail of it.just made me shake my head .

<< *Head shaking*

Because theres nothing I like more than a good forum war

Everyone likes a good bit of drama

I quite like a ruck tbh....tho only as a spectator

Does not admit to being a lurker or curtain twitcher when these "wars" breaks out 

^ is that David Hayes Moonie

and then why when it's been put in the bin and locked does some 'well meaning' soul make a new thread referring to it to keep it going some more?

...... and then why do some people come on to point out that when a thread has  been binned  someone started it off again. Followed by another gadjie who then decides to etc etc...........................

Why do birds suddenly appear...

Sorry I forgot your cathedral Jackie..

It wasn't just one thread though, it was several as the first thread didn't get the result intended.

who cares. threads come and go, peeps fall out and then kissy kissy make up...life goes on

Aww shoot, I've missed a ruck....again!
Seriously tho, isn't it all part of forum life?
(I probably wouldn't say that if I was on the receiving end)

Unless there is some history between Cinds and carotino that I've missed, I can't see why carotino's thread was in any way goading, or stirring.

carotino seemed to be jumped on from a great height, for wondering whether Big D was ever going to post!

Oh, and someone else bumped the original thread by Cinds.

I thought he meant Big D as in Big Daddy Ostrich Blizzie.

As far as I know, there wasn't any history, which made it all the more confusing.  Cinds asked, very politely, if he was referring to her husband and didn't get a reply.  So, instead of answering, another thread was started.  Then another and another.  It was very difficult to ignore after that.

Oh jackson  are you looking for the spoon today?

I'll just post a confused face to keep it in uniform

Oh jeebus, have I missed another one?

I only saw two and the first one seemed innocent enough and yet people were irritated. If there is no history, then the reaction is quite bizarre.

carotino is always random and I've never seen him stir.
I though we all knew him well enough, by now.

Lil didn't think so Blizzzie, isn't that way she left?

Lil was an alto ego just because Lil left does'nt mean the person doing her left and its not the first time she's done a crazy flounce....

Did anyone ever really understand what that was all about?  I like them both and I'm still sure it had to be some huge misunderstanding.

Lil made me laff.

There was no negative reaction to his first thread.  As I said before, Cinds asked him if he was referring to her husband.  I thought it was very random, and shrugged my shoulders.

The second thread was about adding 1+1 = who?  Still a bit random, yet blatant that he didn't believe that Cinds' husband had actually registered.

The third thread was where it all got nasty, "who wants to be in my gang?"  You can still read that in the Troll Tank.

I never thought Carotino was a stirrer until then.  Why he decided to start stirring all of a sudden is something I don't understand at all.

lil's someones alter ego?? Really, well who ever they are did a fantastic job for all those years.
