    I think whe you are new to the internet forum business it is easy to take things out of context. it;s not like speaking to people face to face and people type things in a way they see OK but to others comes across as rude.

    When I first started on here I used to get into loads of pointless arguments now, now when I have had enough I unsubscribe to the thread so i can;t be tempted to get back into the arguments. I leaves you wound up and p**sed off for the rest of the day too.

    I think we have all been there on here at one time or another, but I come on here when I am bored (OK, should be doing housework, LOL) and read the forum instead of a book or a newspaper like I'd have done before t'internet.

    It is, however, very easy to take things out of context and offend anyone with just a silly off hand comment and then it escalates. When it does, it is time to walk away from the thread.



    Here here :T ......... I think enough's enough in the playground ;)

    Oh that's made me chuckle. I don't know if it was deliberate... but it's not actually jailbaby; it's jaibaby! Jailbaby brings to mind something else entirely.... :rotfl:
