As I've said before, the forum is practically sterile compared to what it was three or four years ago yet still some think it's a new trend. It's most definitely not. | |||

"As someone has already highlighted on the thread, I don't see any bullying, none that's tolerated by people for too long, moderators are here to moderate, and by and far its a descent job they do, everyone here has their own way and style of going about getting what they seek here, I think it works just fine for me, and I'm not asking anyone here to change because I might get irritated, or get pissed off with another boobie thread going up, such is life."

"The forum is always an up and down, sometimes it's more lively and sometimes it's rather boring like at present. If any the forum has become more tame than it was as some smarties on here feel the need to report every fart. Beside that I think the trick is not too take anything too seriously on here, bring in some sense of humour, have the ability to laugh about yourself, enjoy the colourful characters and yes toughen up a bit.

"People are more brave speaking their minds when not face to face with someone Anyway English forum are worse !! That's true. I never looked at the English forum.. guess it's not an Irish Thing so... That's a food thing at least "I left the irish forums and moved to the English ones for the very reason you mentioned in your OP. I'd disagree with previous comment that English forums is worse. The Irish have the crown.... particularly the women. However I would like to mention that didn't you do something similar in a recent post about money for sex? A few similar thinkers saw your comment as funny but there were some who didn't. ....and this is unfortunately hoe most forums roll. I am like you a detest bullying and tried to stand up against it for a long time....made some enemies as a result but made some very good friends. However I gave up as there were so few on her that actually seemed to care whether others were bullied just as long as it didn't happen to themselves or their friends which i found bit double standard. That how it is here unfortunately. | |||

""I detest bullies" has been said more than once but does anyone actually like bullying? One of the problems is that we all have different ideas as to what constitutes bullying. There are cases where there is no debate as it's quite clear what's going on but I've seen cases where people twist what someone has said in order to make it look like something else. There are even cases where the supposed victim is the actual bully themselves. Having said that, I still feel it's overstated here. " | |||

"I think the word Bullying is overused and sadly often inappropriately applied. This actually weakens the term and the cause to fight proper bullying. A sharp, mean or rude comment, a dispute or discussion, differentiating in opinion and even an occasional bitching remark or name calling isn't bullying. " Agree... However many do not know or realise that often that sharp comment isn't a stand alone comment which at first it appears. We al need to look more at why it was said....the reciever may have had regular sharp comments from that person on different threads and feel know the history. I feel the problem isn't with the bullies but rather the way most here bury their heads with it and say ... 'it's not my issues'. They're the main problem to bullying because they have the power to stamp it out and actually change the face if the forum. It continues so much because it's rarely challenged. I'm part of that problem as I gave up challenging it because of lack of support against it....so I just moved to UK forum instead. Much bigger, less cliquey and can have many good debates before any such thing starts to happen. I've noticed over there is easier to spot too as most are less tolerant to it.

"I think the word Bullying is overused and sadly often inappropriately applied. This actually weakens the term and the cause to fight proper bullying. A sharp, mean or rude comment, a dispute or discussion, differentiating in opinion and even an occasional bitching remark or name calling isn't bullying. Agree... However many do not know or realise that often that sharp comment isn't a stand alone comment which at first it appears. We al need to look more at why it was said....the reciever may have had regular sharp comments from that person on different threads and feel know the history. I feel the problem isn't with the bullies but rather the way most here bury their heads with it and say ... 'it's not my issues'. They're the main problem to bullying because they have the power to stamp it out and actually change the face if the forum. It continues so much because it's rarely challenged. I'm part of that problem as I gave up challenging it because of lack of support against it....so I just moved to UK forum instead. Much bigger, less cliquey and can have many good debates before any such thing starts to happen. I've noticed over there is easier to spot too as most are less tolerant to it. Here there's a good few who have been around years with same profile ..... that kinda implies that it's accepted as part of the course rather than people standing together against it. I'm sure others will disagree though." You make it sound like it's endemic on the Irish forum. I've seen very little of proper bullying on here but maybe I'm blind or I'm one of those that bury the head. I've seen bitching, moaning, bickering, Irish bantering, trolling, vulturing, shaming, ridiculing etcetera on here and I'm not saying I'm immune to these myself but proper bullying is rather rare on here IMO. Anyhow I think mdoc described quite well the peculiarity of the Irish and their humour which might reflect sometimes here on the forum and might not appeal to everyone or can easily be misunderstood. So it's great that there are different forums to accommodate everyone. I guess by the uk forum you mean swingers chat or the lounge and not the UK forum as in the 'UK forum'. | |||

It is a fact that there are a couple of profiles who always have something negative to say and who belittle others who are genuinely looking for advice. People here are adults. They don't need to be ridiculed or judged for whatever they are into. People's profiles being analysed to see if any flaw can be found to make a person look silly on the forum. I've only been to 2 socials and I've had a few ppl telling me to stay clear of the forums so if there are quite a few ppl saying it then they couldn't be all making it up. I think we should just ignore negative comments that offer nothing to the post and try keep it friendly by only responding to the ones who are happy to offer advice and who arent being judgemental | |||

"I am curious. I have noticed recently that there are so many smart was replies and rude nasty comments on forums here.. Is this now the norm?????? I work very hard like mist here and it can be stressful, to me thus is a place for unwinding and light hearted chat, but why are there so many negative bitchy comments on forums here... please before you comment... think.... It's very unfortable seeing people attacked here because you just feel like saying something for the sake if it.. Just an observation that gets on my nerves. " As an Irish Person I think you're completely wrong with that post. It's not an 'Irish Thing' to do what you are suggesting. Such a sweeping generalisation to make because a few fools on a free online forum annoy you! If you're on here to unwind, and feel you can't unwind on here, then find something else to do to unwind! It is what it is!

"When we do something we have some idea of why we did it.. with others unless we ask we have no idea why.. and just see what they do... not the why. I’d suggest (tentatively) we are all capable of being keyboard warriors when we know full well there will be no consequences to our actions. In real life, when faced with the very visceral reactions of another human being in front of us, we would (for the most part) modify our comments/judgements so as not to cause offence, but on here most will ignore the the other behind the keyboard as being human as in they could be offended and we carry on regardless. " I think this is true. It’s the internet after all. There is yet to be a site that people are only nice to each other. And this site is far more tame than others. This is not a place to relax as it’s designed for horny people to get together. No one here is relaxed until after they get the ride | |||

"I think the word Bullying is overused and sadly often inappropriately applied. This actually weakens the term and the cause to fight proper bullying. A sharp, mean or rude comment, a dispute or discussion, differentiating in opinion and even an occasional bitching remark or name calling isn't bullying. Agree... However many do not know or realise that often that sharp comment isn't a stand alone comment which at first it appears. We al need to look more at why it was said....the reciever may have had regular sharp comments from that person on different threads and feel know the history. I feel the problem isn't with the bullies but rather the way most here bury their heads with it and say ... 'it's not my issues'. They're the main problem to bullying because they have the power to stamp it out and actually change the face if the forum. It continues so much because it's rarely challenged. I'm part of that problem as I gave up challenging it because of lack of support against it....so I just moved to UK forum instead. Much bigger, less cliquey and can have many good debates before any such thing starts to happen. I've noticed over there is easier to spot too as most are less tolerant to it. Here there's a good few who have been around years with same profile ..... that kinda implies that it's accepted as part of the course rather than people standing together against it. I'm sure others will disagree though. You make it sound like it's endemic on the Irish forum. I've seen very little of proper bullying on here but maybe I'm blind or I'm one of those that bury the head. I've seen bitching, moaning, bickering, Irish bantering, trolling, vulturing, shaming, ridiculing etcetera on here and I'm not saying I'm immune to these myself but proper bullying is rather rare on here IMO. Anyhow I think mdoc described quite well the peculiarity of the Irish and their humour which might reflect sometimes here on the forum and might not appeal to everyone or can easily be misunderstood. So it's great that there are different forums to accommodate everyone. I guess by the uk forum you mean swingers chat or the lounge and not the UK forum as in the 'UK forum'. I believe she said she moved to the UK forum. Have I missed setting? Because I can't see why you think she meant swingers chat or the lounge? It's a he and I'm only following the green arrow and nothing points to the uk forum but several to the lounge and the swingers chat which is in my eyes not comparable to the Irish one, the proper uk would be the equivalent. "oops. .
Please forgive me, and thanks for clearing that up for me, totally forgot the green arrow trail, you are quite right. | |||
