Talking to a number of friends lately about the wonders of modern technology etc and the subject of internet use came up. A common story was of people really getting interested in using it initially and enjoying it . Many joined various forums and found some useful but one and all found that after the initial novelty , sometimes lasting up to a year, they found a sameness in many forums.
The overwhelming conclusion was that on many forums, you found a certain type of individual. The person seemed to always have an opinion, was ready for fight and seemed to get involved in all kinds of discussions and rarely had a good word to say about anyone. Equally many forums were dominated by 'smart mouths' who were patronising and frankly either rude or abrupt and judging by their frequent posting mustn't have a whole lot else going on in their lives.
The conclusion was that yes there is a danger out there of interacting with people who frankly aren't great and whom one would avoid like the plague in real life.
Thoughts ???

I agree that there are some people who try to take over forums, constantly putting other posters down and rubbishing everyone elses' view point. There are other posters who don't seem to understand the difference between witty banter and rude, snide comments. Our neighbourhood forum doesn't seem to be that closely moderated and a couple of scary nutters have completely put me off posting on there anymore. I would say the majority of posters on AAM are interesting, polite and helpful and know how to debate without jumping up and down and ramming their opinions down everyone's throat. Some are also very funny and entertaining and I always love reading their posts. I have looked at other forums where the levels of abuse and ranting are incredible and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

My favourite pub in the whole wide world, lads. A pork salad sandwich and a pint of Beamish.... Heaven on earth!!! :cool:

S.L.F. came to town one night but he got there late and they'd stopped doing sandwiches so I ended up meeting him in the Chateau. ;)

Excellent, Woodbine! :D

I could give you the answer to all your questions, but then I'd have to kill you................... :(

You'll have to come and visit us. ;)
 
visit? sure didn't i live there for years!!


i left too many broken hearts behind to consider visiting...



:D



anyway, getting slightly back on topic.. there are so many funny characters to enjoy on internet forums (fora, whatever) The ones i find particularly amusing are the just-joined sprinters. This creature regularly breaks it fingernails in the rush to answer any questions it can, (and some it can't) in a none too subtle attempt to get a decent "high score" or some such nonsense. skid marks on the keyboard an' all..
 
LOL :D

It then proceeds to troll the equivalent of The Depths, emerging for brief annual forays into the mainstream in order to savage the latest newbie to breach a long-discarded posting guideline.
 
Brianne - I agree..... I also met up in real life with 2-3 girls that I talked to on other forums about all kinds of stuff - men, relationships, kids etc.. when I actually met these girls who I thought, ye I could be great friends with them, I actually HAD NOTHING in common with them and they either bored me to tears in person, or I just didnt take a liking to them.... I also though met other women through mother-baby groups etc and I have made about 6 very very good friends and we are friends for a few yrs... I also think people spend too much time talking on line to their internet buddies and not spending enough time away from the PC with their "REAL " friends...
Something I am guilty off as I reply to this thread LOL!
 
I think that Brianne is being a bit too hard on himself. He must remember that he is not the only one that has over 300 posts pontificating .

That said, i do agree with his "ideas to save money in Local and National Political Establishment"
