Do people come on accyweb for a good arguement?

mani · 26-06-2007, 13:08

just seems like it over the last few months

that people postin and creating topics just to do an argument etc

there's so much personal baggage people are bringing on here and its gettin less and less enjoyable

esp some of them seem to aiming to get personal

They come, they whinge, they argue, they get banned or leave and AccyWeb goes on.

There's plenty of other stuff too.

Personally I like a good debate with different viewpoints and if people are very firm in their convictions it can get a bit heated but as long as it doesn't degeneerate into petty name calling and trolling I think it livens things up.

but there's a difference between a good debate/listening to other people's points of views and some of the stuff that goes on here....

Good for you Willow. There's nowt wrong with having a "Pop" at someone now and again.

WillowTheWhisp · 26-06-2007, 13:17

Yep totally agree Mani, but the latest seems to have drifted over now.

Did you misread me - I'm anti-popping.

Most of us like the debate element - sometimes agreeing with the people that we're disagreeing with in another thread - but it's when it gets personal that it all disintegrates.

There are some people who will make a joke out of anything but when you're new to the forum it's hard to see whether it's a joke or an insult. So often new members get offended or insulted by comments made to them and they take it personally then get defensive and sometimes insulting.

When I joined I had a couple of run ins with a few people because I didn't 'get' them - unfortunately now I do and often dream back to those halcyon days when I was unsullied by this forum.

And Mani spelt argument wrong in the title!!!

There's got to be a personal slanging match in that!

I miss the goodbye cruel world threads, more than the fashionable for this week, moaning about moaners threads.

forums were created to share opinions on different topics and current issues. they were designed to discuss and in some cases debate.

the things that go on here are really light compared to some other forums. Your lucky accyweb is a small forum compared to international ones, THEY get loads of really heated arguments and its much worse.

garinda · 26-06-2007, 16:11

I much prefer Accy Web to other local forums, were the most heated topics of the day seem to be what they've all had for tea, or why their day is so rubbish.

cashman · 26-06-2007, 16:35

Mani mate its a forum, thats what happens lol, things n people come n go, i argue with many people on some things n agree with the same folk on others,its called "life"

WillowTheWhisp · 26-06-2007, 19:22

I argue about topics. I don't argue about people unless those people resort to trolling and being personal about others.

Moaning is what we do best. It's a national pastime.
