People start fractions because they have nothing else to do in their sad existance. Unfortunately life is wasted on them rather than people who deserve it.

If you entertain them it will encourage them to keep posting. Ignore them and they will get bored. It's responses they want. The more insulting you are the more of a kick they get out of it. :rolleyes:

The best thing to do is try and ignore it (I'm guilty of not alot of the time :rolleyes: ) and report it to abuse. Let them deal with it.

I know....it's just annoying that some of those same people have on occasions posted something possibly useful and sometimes funny:o .....and I know that i have congratulated 'some people' on becoming debt free or thereabouts......just feels a bit wasted when it's thrown back in your face...

And it's not necessarily that their post is openly offensive......it juts rubs people up the wrong way and gets everyone off on the wrong foot....

It is my own fault...I should just ignore it......I usually do.......It's only on the odd occasion I feel strongly enough to post...

Theres loads of it on other boards. Mainly DT and The Arms. The great thing about DFW is that it rarely appears it's ugly head on here.

Unfortunately no-one can ever do anything to change these peoples mindset. You just have to accept they are part of society and ignore them as best as possible.

Just remember that the good on this board outweighs the bad by a million times. You just remember the bad stuff more because it is so rare!

Nerds rule! :cool:

So you went to Uni before 1991. Do we worship now or would later be better?

"In my day, we typed onto the sharp ends of hob nails. With our eyes. We had to fart programs down the 3 1/2 baud modem onto paper tape."

Again, I am deeply saddened by the fact you are still breathing.

And laughing too. That's amazing control of wind. So 'Tis true! My talents never start.

"Talent" isn't a word I'd use love.

It's in the dictionary.

"My loves never start." I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

People this really has got boring.

Be the bigger person and please leave it there. These rows put off people who are genuinely in need of help.

Just think where you might be right now if you were put off from asking for help because all you could see was people arguing!

Don't ruin someone elses possibility of becoming debt free over some petty squabble.
