    Usually comments directed at peeps who dare to disagree with them.
    Usually because it's a DISCUSSION, which means people are allowed to disagree.

  • I don't want to cause trouble, but I honestly don't see why my post was deleted. Melisa her opinion stated that someone was rude to her, I stated that they weren't and she was being quite rude in the way she was talking to them.
    But then again, only one person can ever have an opinion....

    And, Hezzawithkids, I may be young, but I am in no way so immature as to care about my post count.

    Nah just dont like people causing trouble to be honest and thats what they were doing. People are of course very welcome to disagree, but launching into an attack at someone and speaking to em like a piece of crap is not the way in my opinion. There's a difference between free speech and purposefully going out of your way to annoy someone or put someone down. MSE wouldnt have deleted it if they didnt agree :)

    Please dont jump on the bandwagon :) I dont know about you, but internet arguing isnt that fun for me. I like to come in from work, chill out on the net for an hour or so and have a laugh with people or get a bit of advice. Lifes too short.

    Im glad you dont want to cause trouble, but your response was nothing like what you just stated. All I say is that you do have the right to an opinion, of course you do, but on that occassion you were incorrect. There was absolutely no chance I was being rude at all to that person, that just is not me, 100%. I dont even understand where you got that idea from.

    This conversation about whos being rude and whos not should end now really. It is a shame though that these conversations have to occur because I do see an awful lot of people being nasty on these boards for no reason. For example, I saw the other week that someone was asking for help (I think it was the eBay board) and just because they had spelt something wrong in their post, this person replied saying "you spelt so and so wrong, idiot"... it is just sad to see that people can be like that with each other. If they were talking to each other in person they wouldn't speak to them like that.

    LOL good point actually, that did sound a bit weird the way I worded it didnt it :rotfl:

    In other words (maybe the words I should have used in the first place) I pretty much meant that she was wrong because I would 100% never ever rude to anyone. Its just not me. I stated in a post that I thought that someone was being rude and cocky to me and that there are better/ nicer ways of saying things, and she said "actually its you thats being rude and cocky". I honestly to this day do not know how telling someone that they are been rude and cocky to you uneccassarily, makes you that yourself lol.

    Hope that made sense. Iv had an hard day :eek:
