it’s just too much effort to have to try and get on with new folk too. I’ve only just got comfortable and now there are strangers everywhere
Do you still feel this way today or was this some kind of local firestorm in your head yesterday?
This is not your board.
The way you feel is about you.
There are lots of people here who don't agree with you about this.
When you started this curmudgeonly “local board for local people” schtick I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you were grandstanding your on-board pissed off curmudgeonly old git thing as a kind of joke. But you’ve either lost perspective on the joke, or you really are being genuinely objectionable about having new people join the boards.
It’s ugly behaviour OU. You claim to be reasonable and kind. Where is any of that here?
If you’re having genuine issues with having new people join the boards find a way to handle it more gracefully please.
I feel embarrassed to have such a public display of mean spirited bad manners being displayed so brazenly by a ,ing term regular poster.
It may be that you don’t understand the impact your words might have. I’ve fucked off more than once directly because of your behaviour towards me. That may be the effect you’re looking for but ffs OU there are much more interesting ways to be powerful than by having a go at people.
Other posters who are spitting and frothing torrents of ugly shite also need to sort it out please.
New posters. Please don’t judge the whole board by the few loud people who are being unkind. There’s a bunch of people here, some of whom keep a lower profile and don’t pile in with the insults. We do tend to be direct and blunt, that’s just the way we are (it actually less full on these days than it once was) but don’t assume that everyone gives it the mean spirited attacks.
campanula I understand what you say. I’d miss you if you leave and I always look for you on the boards.
