"When it comes to fab, as well as social media, we have the policy of not saying anything that we wouldn't be prepared to say to some one's face. And doesn't necessarily mean we're always 'nice' " A good policy...but some times things are misconstrued, and 20 posts later it's too difficult to rectify the words you had chosen. Maybe the hazards of debating in this medium? | |||

"I've actually apologised to a couple on a cheaters thread because I was sarcastic and confrontational. You can express your opinion without crushing ppl unnecessarily it's not difficult. I'm here to laugh not cause offence or hurt. I'm more likely to say something untoward in the defence of someone being attacked " I think there's quite a few apologies go on via the PM. I've done so. | |||

Maybe the hazards of debating in this medium?" Oh yes, very true. It's part of the reason why I'm only an occasional forumite, and avoid certain threads. But I like to think I'm a good communicator. I don't go out my way to wind people up, but I don't kiss arse. I've apologised to people on the forums about something I've said, and had apologies in return. -Mr | |||

I apologised on the thread and we exchanged some nice PMs too, happy ending | |||

Some people are really good as getting their point across in a controlled and positive way,those people I have the upmost respect for. Other's however don't and they just get people's backs up from the get go,whether they intended that god know's. | |||

"For me the forums is a lighthearted break from the real life stuff we all go thru and as such I try to only post fun, positive, nice & mostly nonsense waffle... if I'm having a crap day I tend to avoid the forums in case i end up failing to "bite my tongue" at certain regular posters who I try to avoid as they have a habit of getting right on my tits. " it's at this point a lot of regular forum users, ponder if that means them ! | |||

I try to pause and reread to think how others will interpret what I've said. Do others?" Sometimes its hard to express yourself in a way that might not come across as being more confrontational than you would want it to be, and when that happens I try to re-word it. However, sometimes its impossible not to upset those that seem determined to be affronted, or offended. | |||

" By what you post in the forums. I don't mean expressing your personal opinion or stance, even if it is contrary to the masses. More so, how you interact and debate and the effect it has on others. I replied last night in a rather grumpy mood, rather tersely to a post and on reflection it was unkind. Some say who cares, I don't give a damn what people think. So do you pause to ensure you articulate yourself carefully to avoid causing offence...even if by misunderstanding." Not causing offence is fine and a good place to start. Occasionally people need to be offended for their good and/or the good of others. I think most decent people may look back and quail at some misguided comment from a previous discussion but if it was said in good faith then we are probably best to let it lie. On occasion it may be prudent to write to the afflicted and offer apology, this being the internet however it is more likely that we will just entrench our position further and keep digging. Sad really. | |||

" Very true. Speaking out loud via the medium of text just doesn't translate well sometimes. Though I think a pattern of behaviour is always evident if you read enough of the individuals posts. First what it's worth I've yet to see anything harsh written by you. | |||

Then there are the threads which take on a life of their own, and the OP not only joins in with the banter, but positively encourages it, one of my favourites was the "Shed gangbang" one, funny as hell. | |||

"I couldn't care less, I've spoke my mind when I want to. Even if it may have been a little different to everyone else. Beauty of free speech " Speaking your mind is fine. But it depends if you want your point to be persuasive? A few cautious words with tactile language in a debate is surely better than a passionate outburst that offends? Free speech is everyone's right I accept. But if it's a right then we should use it wisely? | |||

"i'm socially inappropriate and a stickler for using the correct terms and use those, so don't really care what i say, plus nobody gives a shit what i say so win/win for me. i think though, mainly for me, is the area i'm posting in influences me. like i have to dumb down to use this site, which is cool and i'm used to it irl so not really arsed, like if i was using a better site i'd have said i'm not bothered or fussed." Yes I can relate to this. It's why my posts are fairly neutral. I could be the real me, but this site is supposed to be fun. So I keep it that way. | |||
