I'm sorry, but you're wrong

I`m sorry, I don`t know what you`re talking about Darlo.

im sorry you feel that way

It's getting to such a level here Darlo that some people are afraid to post anything for fear of being pounced on.

Maybe they think I pounce Tayto. I've noticed this for a while and it really bugs me i'm afraid...

Hi Darlo.  I don't think it's just you, to be fair.  I know I do it, but it's more a habit than anything else.  For me, it's just manners, like saying please and thank you.

Naw, you're a safe bet and respect the opinion of others so they give you the same respect back by saying 'sorry'.

To be serious for a minute Darlo, I agree with Suzi and Tayto.
 I know I tend to say sorry if I`m disagreeing with someone I like, so perhaps it is sort of a compliment. Does that make any sense? - I know what I mean.

How dare you??

Austin was a billion times better than Lisa Snowdon, right!



PS I dont think it's only you darlo...it's everyone

It is indeed.



Ooh Blizzie.

Well I think ya wrong..& I aint bloody sorry!..(was that all right darlo?)

It's not you, it's me

who ever it was Darlo, I'm sure they were just being nice.  Couldn't you have addressed it in the same thread?

Sorry darlo!

There is darlo, some irony in that apology!......Maybe for  lots of peeps it's just a shorthand way  to say 'it's ok to disagree but I don't want to fall out with you about it?'

I guess agreeing to disagree isn't always good enough

Temps it would have been a different outcome if Lisa had to do her Jive.

I say power to those who respect the camaraderie of the forum by inserting an apology when they disagree! 'S nice, no?

I'm sorry Darlo, but I disagree

Sorry...I couldn't help it   Crap there I go again

*snogs Triggs*

*Snogs Temps back and makes no apology for it*

Well I agree with darlo. We should drum these sickos out of the forum once and for all. The cheak!

Ready when you are Teddy

Sorry darlo, I think some people say it because they don't want to offend or upset - a sign of manners I think   Rather they did that, then the alternative

I thinks it's inserted as a polite habit more than  anything...oh Matron!

 That bouncing bunny gets me everytime!

 I agree with you darloboy we ahould all agree to disagree without getting personal,but I agree with the above posts saying sorry is showing nice  manners .. I would not knock it

I dont think it's actually saying sorry.  It's a mannerism.  Something similar is "Well, excuse me but you're wrong".  If you stress the "excuse me" it can sound quite rude too. 

I'm going to start using "I beg to differ, actually" in future. 

Darlo you should just be glad you get an apology. Polite differing of opinion can be quite rare on t'internet!

I think there is a "darlo dimension" to it though.
I suspect one reason is that you, darlo, are regarded as such a friendly soul, and a shining example of courtesy and tolerance, that some of us may feel a little,..,shall we say "mean spirited" ...when we disagree with you.
I think your OP was accurate darlo. I am sure some posters feel they don't want to upset you because you are such a nice chap.
But the truth is that you are tolerant and you do respect the opinions of others - so there is not need for us to feel bad if we disagree (as you said in your first post.)
An example:
I know you like Alesha Dixon.
I don't like Alesha Dixon.
And I know that I have avoided commenting in order not to upset you.
But now you have said what you have said - I will enjoy disagreeing, if only to test your levels of niceness.

Stop begging!!

Sorry, but...

In the style of stroppy teenager: sawwwwree
Can be tricky this  interwebby communication, suppose people may mean sorry, (genuine) or saawwwree, (disingenuous/sarcastic)

If I say sorry but....I'm being polite, but if I don't then I'm errr not

I bet this doesn't happen on the 'normal people' forums.
