I’m a fairly New Member here, and accidentally hijacked a post and got a lot of attitude of members here for doing so. Is this the kind of attitude here ? Not very welcoming for new people

We all have to start somewhere.

Don't take it to heart OP, you can't hijack a thread as anyone is entitled to reply on it. You can get bad attitude in the forum, sadly but most regulars are not like it. So you put something in the wrong place, don't worry about it.

Hi and thank you for your reply, it was literally my first ever reply in the chat forum agreeing with a guy then continued the conversation. Thank you though, x

Seems like that thread has been deleted so don't worry about it as it has vanished now.

In fairness it was just one person who pointed it out.

The forums can be a bit of a bloodsport sometimes. Just bear that in mind when you’re thinking about posting.

Better a thread than an airliner, as my Nan used to say.

I’m kind of learning the hard way, only today joining in or posting a post or comments etc,

Guess I’ve a lot to learn.

Thank you for the advice though.

We all probably have been guilty of inadvertently hijacking a thread at some time, and most have been fortunate not to have had someone jump on them from a great height for doing so. Ignore poor behaviour and stay positive. I would remove your "experience" from your profile write up though, as much as you are probably still smarting, as it doesn't read well.

These type of individuals may have issues, because personally I’d not run anyone down, lots of people sadly like to run others down they get a kick out of other people’s misery. Like a control or power thing.

Thanks for reply.

Don't even ask how I got into the introductions forum... friends

interesting thread by the OP.

I didn't see the thread that got removed... what "pouncing" occured or if it was that bad/extreme... this thread prompted some really good replies. Real valid points on what can occur in forums especially for newbies. Therefore bumping for a wider audience and yes for the lurkers that maybe "worried" ... for as long as the minority (negative attitudes) exist in the forums so will the counter (majority) positive/happy attitudes.

Enjoyed reading the replies from the posters in here. Thanks for sharing
