Its unfortunate that this forum has now deteriorated into a schoolboys playground....the possibility of a sensible discussion/debate has apparently now become none existent.
Especially when one was trying to take the moral high ground earlier.Its unfortunate that this forum has now deteriorated into a schoolboys playground....the possibility of a sensible discussion/debate has apparently now become none existent.
I fear youre right. Perhaps they shoud introduce a ****** exclusion test for new entrants. They could ask them how to spell big words like "mountain" or show them a photo of a pair of boobs to see if they start giggling.
That reply is only what I expected.....there are few on here who are able to reply without taking a totally aggressive approach.
YOU asked a question, I was polite enough to suggest an answer, why was I taking the moral high ground.

where do you draw the line between banter, teasing and torment? )

Maybe the answer lies in teaching our children to have 'respect' in the old fashioned sense of the word.
If respect for each other is part of our nature, then surely there is a natural barrier in our sense of 'right and wrong' that knows 'when to stop'
Indeed - but I find it has some theraputic value - are you OK with that, knobhead[I've finally accepted that you'll never get a proper, reasoned debate on here. It always, without fail, descends into childish name calling. It's not even worth trying.

I don't think I've ever seen so many blatantly abusive posts being allowed to stay for quite so long.
People on here always moan when the clowns are throwing insults but people keep responding to it which keeps threads like this alive for several painful days
I think we all need a group hug!!

Well, not always but far too often. I don't think I've ever seen so many blatantly abusive posts being allowed to stay for quite so long.
