"Can you give an example, OP?" An example,an awful lot of messages tend to start ok,but very quickly go down to a primitive level! People’s status updates, they either seem to be really huge attention seekers or just plain awful.... not sure which is worse! I’ve sat back and watched a lot, on the forums too. There does seem to be quite a bit of tension,ganging up,so to speak....why? Is it because new people aren’t wanted,as they’ve probably got fresh stuff to say? Please help me understand. | |||

I’d say regarding messages, that your profile might well attract a certain type of message. The forums have a certain core of posters, who are on here day in, day out and interact amongst themselves with in jokes. Everyone else pops in and out and is either ignored or, if they offend one, is then snapped at by forum friends. | |||

"Hello OP, I don’t participate in many other forums aside of Fabs but the ones I have, have all the same elements except people ain’t posting with their bits on display :D - keyboard warriors, cliques and the overly opinionated are rife. As for status updates and messaging - filter up and block those that rant, job done

"Why are people so rude on here? The way they speak to others? The things they say? Their entitled attitude? I’m finding the lack of friendliness odd!" The people you see on the forums are no different from the people you see in the real world. Therefore you'd expect to see the same character traits. However I've found the forums to be have some of the friendliest, supportive and welcoming people you'll ever meet. Yes, there's the occasional falling out or robust exchange of views, but if you need to some help, you'll not find a greater bunch of people. | |||

"Why are people so rude on here? The way they speak to others? The things they say? Their entitled attitude? I’m finding the lack of friendliness odd!" These forums are like any other forums. You get all types of characters posting and makes for lively debate, at times! I have made many virtual friends on here, but there will always be those people that are annoying, I just tend to ignore them, as I would in real life. It's always best not to take things to seriously on here. Hope you enjoy. | |||

"Why are people so rude on here? The way they speak to others? The things they say? Their entitled attitude? I’m finding the lack of friendliness odd!" I know. I feel the same. So much so that I stopped going on the forums for months. I always go by the rule that I talk to people on here, how i would talk to people if i met them for real. Some people just get brave and arrogant behind a keyboard. | |||

I’d say regarding messages, that your profile might well attract a certain type of message. The forums have a certain core of posters, who are on here day in, day out and interact amongst themselves with in jokes. Everyone else pops in and out and is either ignored or, if they offend one, is then snapped at by forum friends. That's the clique" It’s nowhere near as cliquey as it used to be! | |||

"Why would anyone take offence at what someone types on this site, this forum, or any other site/forum on the internet? Unless of course, the judgement of someone you do not know defines your self worth. Surely, only the opinion of those we know and love should matter to us. The internet does not reflect real life. " In what way is the internet not real life? It’s humans both ends of the screen. Saying it’s not real life gives an excuse to those who do abuse, bully or intimidate on line. It’s real life enough to cause teenage girls to commit suicide. You don’t get more real than that. | |||

"Can you give an example, OP? An example,an awful lot of messages tend to start ok,but very quickly go down to a primitive level! People’s status updates, they either seem to be really huge attention seekers or just plain awful.... not sure which is worse! I’ve sat back and watched a lot, on the forums too. There does seem to be quite a bit of tension,ganging up,so to speak....why? Is it because new people aren’t wanted,as they’ve probably got fresh stuff to say? Please help me understand. I’d say regarding messages, that your profile might well attract a certain type of message. The forums have a certain core of posters, who are on here day in, day out and interact amongst themselves with in jokes. Everyone else pops in and out and is either ignored or, if they offend one, is then snapped at by forum friends. " Not all forum posters .... I like posting, and I like people  | |||

"Why are people so rude on here? The way they speak to others? The things they say? Their entitled attitude? I’m finding the lack of friendliness odd!" Just like the rest of the internet to be fair. Have you ever looked at the comments section on YouTube?
Say what you want to say, this is an open platform. I've been bashed a few times, banned a couple and really at the end of it I've voiced my opinion and have seen the good, bad and ugly of people on here. It is what it is. | |||

If you value people so little on this site why do you expect them to be polite to you?"I don’t Expect anyone to be any particular way towards me, not at all. I must admit this site has jaded me somewhat. Hey ho! Such is life. It passes the time. | |||

The people who post on the forums are only a tiny %, and of that tiny % only a tiny % are in the clique (I said it....shoot me)...and the amount of them that are swingers ....you guessed it ....a tiny %.

"It's the people who post stuff on someone's else post about nothing to do with the post. Or they make a joke or try to make the person posting look bad. Like the other day a lady asked about longer stockings because she had long legs And some guy said I want to lick between your legs.WHY. " The other day somebody started a thread asking what we thought his new username should be, so I told him what I thought would be appropriate name and he starts pm-ing me complaining about the name I chose?!?! Befuddles me. | |||

Now theyre a pack of hyenas? Either your really trying to play the victim or you're very thin skinned if people pointing out your wrong upsets you this much | |||

Some humans are vile whether they're hiding behind a screen or not. However, there's such a thing as an off button with any type of technology. The pressure on young adults these days through social media is astounding, but it's another part of this dystopia we currently exist in. Society is fucked. We may as well just accept it! | |||
