Things haven't changed much after all!

I thought we might have seen an upgrade by now!

Good post TF. We start young, we mature, we regress-some faster than t'others. Maintain your humour & all will be well

Good post TF, You are correct. The group abuse on individuals whose views dont coincide exactly with that group's is still happening.

Like yourself It doesnt bother me in the least, but I can see it being off-puting to less experienced and new members.

A forum is always much more enjoyable when members respect each other and resist personal insults on individuals,  even when they perhaps dont agree on the subject being discussed.

Banter ,not Belittle ,the former maker for a happy forum ,the later makes for a sad forum

Sadly several of the relatively new contributors are giving distinct signs of being the new trolls that I thought we might have got to go away.

The only 'new' thing is their forum name TF 

 

There will always be the odd one or two on any social media,who it seems, will try to continue a thread by posting anything (without reading their previos posts) to make out that other posters to the thread have been wrong,but it does make them look silly in the end,and  gives much enjoyment  to the majority which is what a "lively"debate should be about

whats the point in naming em, I think most people know who they are"usual suspects" I think they are known as,they dont bother most forumites, mind you poor old Ian H seems to get a fair bit of stick from em, fair play to him tho it desnt seem to bother him much, obviously there dad didnt instill on them like my old man did to me which was, "if you cant insult a man standing in front of him then dont do it at all"..

So true, Jay. Three Musketeers at the last count. Makes a mockery of the T&Cs doesn't it?

Yes, AD, it is serious and I've already named one.

Write your comments here.. Very true !!  Fortunately there are only the usual five or six who indulge in the personal insults against individuals. As you say, everybody knows who they are so they are easily ignored.  This forum is a friendly forum and IMO we're lucky to have some good moderators.
