When did this board become so nasty?

Everytime I log on I see nasty comments & judgemental posts.

This used to be a friendly & supportive place to be & it's a damn shame it's changed.

    Hang on I need to go through your posting history and find all the inconsistencies then post links to them, then I need to call you a troll and doubt smugly the authenticity of your post, thats going to take me 15 minutes I'll get back to you :D

    Because there are so many keyboard warriors about, that have no life or backbone in the real world, so they unleash all there nastiness in cyber space to make themselves feel better. Pathetic really.

    It's always been pretty unpleasant if you are a man. ;)

    That is so true:D

    There seems to be so much point scoring, so much it can be done better than you, said better, the way I did was better, I am better, jeez, then there is the internal off topic spats between posters, the trolls, the other day with thread upon thread trolled, there is no flow anymore

  • There are some posts that really touch a nerve. The way you bring your child up is often the biggest one.


    I guess we are made up of lots of different up nature/nurture particles and when someone feels it has touched a nerve fireworks go off.


    The fact identities are hidden gives people a strange belief that they have to drop their niceties.


    If everyone posted in the manner they would be happy to speak to someone face to face I wonder if people would be quite so rude.


    Also when affronted face to face, would you go into an all out response, you said, he said, she said grrrrr, or would you walk away.


    This internet lark is not great all the time is it?!
