This place is on the internet, so it's OK to say what you like here... (1 Viewer)

[Jim]

..AS LONG AS IT'S NICE.

If you like to put people down while putting them right; if you think it's OK to be churlish in response to a post you disagree with; if you get mad and insult people publicly or via a direct message. You are in the wrong place.

It's going to be a long winter. If you are at all angry or annoyed when you post here, don't expect to be here for much longer.

This is a place for the fun aspects of our hobby, a place where you can ask for help, and where help is freely given, most likely with a giggle thrown in. Let's keep it that way, please. Let's keep it fun. Thanks

Good man, Jim.

 

[Vanderek]

Well said , there are too many willing to dive in without thinking.....

Like it. Good reminder to be constructive not destructive.

I'm with you,being very opinionated myself, I often disagree with others, I sometimes become quite irate, I have been known to write posts, but delete them before posting as lifes to short. MHF is and should be a safe place to come and spend time without being abused for not knowing something and for getting advice.

What's brought this on today, I havnt seen anything to complain about for weeks.
All seems very civilised to me.

If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't write it on MHF. That old adage of "what would your mother think if...." is probably a good yardstick. Good on you Jim, keep up the fine standards!

I tend to agree but then I don't read everything that is posted. But, I can see the benefit of a timely reminder.

I think it was the F1 result post. Some really lost the plot with the OP on that one.

I'll bet someone has got a smell right now and it ain't coffee.

Well done Jim. I thought some remarks were not well 'Grounded'
I'll get me coat!!!

My money is on the Coffee post.

Saw the F1 one but baffled with the coffee one

Saw the F1 one but baffled with the coffee one

I THINK... but not sure.. it's our Oops ignore thread.. a bit of friendly sarcasm by Emmit.. The Oops thread is just a friendly, harmless bit of silliness: what are you going to ignore today, type of thing.. and we all just there should anyone have a problem in the middle of the silliness.

And we make coffee for each other. ... But he might not mean that thread.

 

[Emmit]

I’ll have to check that out.

There's nothing to see. It has disappeared as if by magic.

There's only 'Nice' comments there now.

Me? Sarcastic?? B*gger! I get awards for cynicism but I've never climbed the heights of being thought sarcastic.

No. I read a 'Coffee machine/Generator' thread this morning and someone couldn't understand the OP's simple request for advice. The comments have now disappeared.

 

[TheBig1]

It's just sad that some people revert to playground type behaviour if they get upset.

There are still some quotes, but I think you are right if the remaining quotes were anything to go by. Really must keep up, I always miss the threads were people are banned first I know is when i see banned under a name, or chaser starts a thread with did I miss something, "why is so and so banned"

Damn. Missed it.

There were some unhelpful, non constructive posts there by one person in particular, its still visible.

Damn. Missed it.

Think I was wrong. It must have been the Coffee on a Generator thread.

 

[Sundowners]

It was only a couple of days ago I read some controversial stuff and thought ‘why and where did that come from’, then I realised, oh the weather has changed, winter is coming, back to all that crap again, happens every year.

Yeah just read it , a lot of fuss over a simple question

That people are guessing it might be this thread or that, means that we're probably all aware we have some grumpy argumentative buggers on here lately . Actually it was not one but a combination of a few threads and rude direct messages that prompted this thread. Just so unnecessary and not in the spirit of fun.

But Jim you keep arguing back and the good people of Coventry are getting peed off that so many argumentative old farts keep arriving from Fun. They are citing no social distancing guidelines and suggest you send them to Norfolk instead

Must admit that I was gobsmacked yesterday by comments from some who's views I would always normally read. Its certainly time for the teddy throwing and disrespect for other member views to stop.

I think this is a timely reminder as we are in such a strange place with covid, clocks plunging us into darkness and winter on it's way.
We need each other so much, support & understanding is more important than it ever was.
I think Mr.A & I are lucky in the grand scheme of things, but this fluid situation still gets to us, I know I worry and shed tears for the situation of others far more than is good for me, but I can't help it.
We need to keep in mind WHY some of us could come across as being a bit off too, don't bite back with haste......if you must, agree to disagree.

 

[JohnJan]

It's always good to follow the guideline of "If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing!"

 

[Cheshirecat57]

In the last few weeks I am finding that I am pressing the IGNORE button more and more.......
hello......hello........anyone there ?
Perhaps its the situation
