Meaningless comments

[MargaretR]

I have had green karma a few times as compen for Less's insulting comments.
...so it is understandable that some people presumed Less upset you.

Old habits die hard - good to know he is losing his teeth

Well yes, I must admit I may have seemed to have reacted a little hastily, but only because he got to call you a deluded female, which takes the edge off any insult I may come up with, after all we never forget our first!

I have had green karma because of what I've said from people that agreed with me.

Strangely enough, never had any red for the same posts.

No, he's like you, too old to give a pluck. (got to be careful Neil could be on the prowl, he is dying to ban me).

I take offence at these remarks and would like to invite anyone who feels what he said to be true to let me know, either by commenting on this thread or by pm.

I was not aware that Accrington Web set any standards for the meaningfulness or otherwise of posts but have always tried to make a positive contribution even if it is only with a lighthearted comment.

I can think of several people who in my opinion make meaningless posts but I would not wish to stop them commenting.

If anyone feels strongly enough about my posts they could always put me on ignore but then they run the risk of losing a gem if I ever do manage to make sense.

You sound upset Susie, but I wouldn't take it to heart, I did think the comment made about you was harsh. From my experience, posting online isn't like real life, youre adding your comments, opinions and feelings to the views of other people who might well have other stuff going on in their lives and might choose to vent their feelings on faceless names or might feel particularly strongly about a subject. I don't think that anything I've seen that you've posted could possibly be seen as either a nuisance or meaningless, in fact I've found some of your posts to be very interesting.
I'm relatively new to this posting online business and it's taken me a while not to be offended by other people's replies (just refer to the previous lap dancing thread if you want to!)

Can us blokes not be allowed to take umbridge as well?

Of course you can take umbrage with the rest of us, but the posts led me to believe that this comment was aimed at women, rather than men....anyway, I am pretty sure you know how to report a post, should the need arise.

Yes the comments were harsh, and he does it all the time, especially to women, which really bugs me. He may be a gentleman in real life but that is not excuse for being so rude online. I have no wish to meet him to find out.

Anyway Anne, thanks for your kind words about my posts, they are much appreciated.

Well this may have been a meaningless thread but it's successfully passed a Saturday afternoon and evening. Lots of posts, with some interesting comments, and no one has told me to go away or shut up.

Thank you all for your support.

Of course the antis may communicate by pm, being reluctant to show their faces on here... :

Hi Susie

Found the offensive post and i must admit I always find his responses blunt to say the least

He's never in the wrong and although he clearly has a wealth of local history knowledge he has a very unfortunate manner and I would have hoped for a man of mature years he could show more respect to all sections of Accyweb

keep posting
