Having said that - I’ve also spent a great deal of time and effort on a response only to have it ignored - so I reserve my right to the occasional ‘lazy’ response too! Tbh the only emoji responses that irk me slightly are those who add a or a (or similar) after something that is clearly intended as an insult as a ‘cop out’!
I rarely seek argument or contention on here - but when I do give a potentially unpopular opinion I own it rather than hiding behind a plethora of emojis. | |||

"Again - lack of original thought. Anyone who isn’t afraid to stand out from the herd won’t be universally popular though - that’s obvious. Most people who are very loved on the forums are nice to pretty much everyone and rarely, if ever, share a contentious view/comment. That’s great and they’re bloody lovely people (have Taff in my head at the moment but there are quite a few others) - but to be interesting the forums need other characters too - and you’re definitely one of them! | |||

That's not very inclusive, is it? What if that opinion is on a subject that they're very passionate about or has personal meaning to them? Should they still keep quiet in your opinion? I've been accused of bullying on here in the past, simply for stating an opposing viewpoint to an OP. I wasn't abusive, just explained politely why I didn't agree and stated my reasons for that. Several people agreed with me in the thread. I was then called some really rather unpleasant things and accused of bullying in a kik group that I wasn't part of. It's all about how people interpret posts, and unfortunately the author doesn't have any control over that. | |||

" Exactly. It's a term I see being bandied about on here more and more lately. I'd even go so far as to say the accusation of bullying is almost bullying in itself if the aim is to discourage people from commenting on threads for fear of being accused of bullying or goading..if it's within site rules people are allowed to post whatever they want. As is often quoted, we all have the option of scrolling past posts that we don't like. The mods will pick up on anything against site rules, and I encourage anyone to report anything that they perceive to be bullying so that it can be dealt with appropriately. | |||

" I've been accused of bullying on here in the past, simply for stating an opposing viewpoint to an OP. I wasn't abusive, just explained politely why I didn't agree and stated my reasons for that. Several people agreed with me in the thread. I was then called some really rather unpleasant things and accused of bullying in a kik group that I wasn't part of. It's all about how people interpret posts, and unfortunately the author doesn't have any control over that. I was accused of bullying for having a joke with an OP who I'd spoken to before and he was clearly joining in. I've even had friends of mine accused of bullying me on here when I can 100% say they were not and have never done. It seems to be an accusation some people love to throw around despite have zero involvement and knowing nothing about the relationship between the people involved. Of course I'd be happy for someone who doesn't know and was concerned to ask and we would then be able to explain if they've misunderstood an interaction but people seem to instead prefer to make snap judgements and create issues where there are none. Exactly. It's a term I see being bandied about on here more and more lately.

You're not even allowed to have friends apparently. If you make fun of each other you're accused of bullying and when you say "it's ok we know each other" you're then being cliquey . Can't win so stopped trying . | |||

"The only time I ever used the eye roll emoji is when my finger once inadvertently slipped whilst I was trying for the green faced grinning one. (I suppose the eye rolling one might be subsequently apt as a pictorial representation of my clumsiness) "You are forgiven! | |||
