'Car wash people' in Sainsburys adding to danger in car park

So does MSE now delete posts secretly hoping people will not notice now when someone throws their toys out of the pram?

Far worse posts on here that have been left when a OP has asked for them to be removed/deleted.

    MSE probably deleted the thread because it consisted of nothing more than a bunch of a***h***s ridiculing the OP because they have nothing better to do in their sad little lives than poke fun at someone because they didn't happen to see a problem where s/he did.

    Seeing it as a problem is purely subjective Azari.

    Yes, of course it is.

    However, mature, intelligent, people, when hearing of a problem that someone has which they feel is unimportant or not a problem, just move on.

    Only sad, and slightly pathetic, individuals feel the need to get a little ego boost by trying to belittle the person who feels they have the problem.

    Couldn't agree more. Somebody makes a negative comment and everybody jumps on the bandwagon. It gets on your nerves after a while.

    It wouldn't be so bad if people were saying anything new. In most cases it's just bullies who have seen that the OPs complaint is unpopular and jump in with the gang to post and repeat what everyone else has said.

    I'm sure we can all remember the type from the school playground.

    I also wondered where the thread had gone this morning.... Original OP of the thread makes a huge deal out of the 'car-wash people' in Sainsburys carpark being an added 'danger' in the car park and then proceeds to make out like every car park is a war zone where you're lucky to get out alive and then wonders why a few people make a few light-hearted comments about it (or at least that's as bad as it had got when I last saw it). I don't recall seeing anything offensive in what anyone put, but then we're all a little too quick to spit our dummies these days when we don't get the response we're looking for I suppose.

    That's because the forum team kept deleting the more offensive posts.

    When they keep getting complaints about a thread that require them to waste time deleting the offensive posts they eventually delete the thread - and who can blame them?

    You mean in the way you are having a grizzle that a thread that was a playground for smart !!!!!! to have a go at someone got deleted?

    Oh, diddums!

    Just dry your eyes and move on.
