Hard members. - Page 2

We've had exactly the same thing on our local village website over the past 6 months or so. Unfortunately we have one or two members who get very uptight if anyone disagrees with them - and some of the biggest temperaments I've ever come across. What makes me laugh is when someone gets into a strop and makes a big statement about how they are "Never going to post on here again", etc., etc., as if they're waiting for somebody to plead with them to carry on. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

I like Accyweb because there's not much of that sort of thing and even I, who left Accy 40+ years ago, don't feel like an outsider.

Although I missed last nights meeting, we have had a similar discussion before. I jumped straight in when I joined, and posted. The introduction threads were put there specifically for new members to post in to and get the ball rolling. There was no introduction section when I joined and you had to post straight into the forum. If people don't post in a forum (from the comfort of their own homes) for fear of not being agreed with, then how do they cope with everyday life??? It is human nature to agree on some things and not on others, a fact which most people accept. Isn't it much better to have a disagreement via a forum, than a disagreement and slanging match on your doorstep?....

It dosnt matter what others thik of what you post if you believe in it yourself and believe it just then post it. There will always be disagreements over what is posted and it can get heated but at the end of the day that is what its about peoples thoughts on the subject. If we all took fright when somebody had a dig it would be very bare in here. All it is is friendly electronic conversation and everyone has a bad day and could take umbridge but then thats life. So post post and post some more lets get the site buzzing.

Best thing to do is not look back over old threads.

I think new members should feel free to post if they have an opinion on the thread, I think I read more than I post but thats just me.

When I was just a browser, as opposed to being a member.....there were threads that were so interesting that I wanted to become involved. That is why I joined Accyweb. I have never been afraid of posting what I think about a subject......I realise that in this huge world we live in...we cannot always agree with one another.....but we can agree to tolerate other peoples viewpoint. This is the essence of living together, whether this be in the cyber dimension or in real life...and it is what makes a community diverse and interesting.

Quite a few of us have had the odd run in and recovered to maul our persecutors “said in fun” Accyweb is a macrocosm of a community and with all things human there’s bound to be close nit groups and some that will always stay on the peripheral. But it’s like anything else if you choose not to make the effort you can’t expect to get anything out of it. Those that choose to sit and enjoy what occurs on the sit are just as valuable members of our community as those that never shut up, at least their not doling out rubbish out of boredom. It is time that we had some genuine debates without someone having a paddy because they got there ball kicked, it happens to the best of us. I miss many of the older members who have seemed to have got the slippers and coco out and resigned themselves to ponder what makes the rest of us tick. At the end of the day folks you only get out what you put in, just like the rest of life……..

Nice speech doug bet that cost a bob or two of the web!

Seriously though it hits the nail on the head and might encourage some of the older members and some of the newer ones to start a type-athon.
