adamf Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Do you constantly find that their are a series of repeat offenders on Sheffield Forum whose only purpose is to post infantile or 'jokey' comments in an attempt to belittle the poster and discredit their point with a brain dead remark? Yes, and if you don't like it you can go Wait, that's not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Blimey, sorry if I upset anyone Seriously, deliberately mischievous posts are part of the cut and thrust of a debate, and don't belong in the bin marked "unacceptable behaviour", as it helps prevent the kind of turgid, anodyne debate you get when you subtract all humour, irony, sarcasm, and playing with tropes and stereotypes from a thread. Just my $0.02, no intended target, just a general observation. It's worth quoting the rules though, as they are (mostly) proscriptive rather than prescriptive - which is an interesting philosophical point from the perspective of getting people to follow them, IMO. After all, I'm only obeying the rules - 14. You must only post contributions to the Website which are factually accurate or which are your genuinely held opinions based on true facts.

Phanerothyme Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 There's no excuse for vocabular ignorance in the age of the internet. That is my genuinely held opinion based on true facts … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yup! There's no excuse for vocabular ignorance in the age of the internet. That is my genuinely held opinion based on true facts … Yes precise and straight to the point is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeldave Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Classic example of this sort of behaviour on this thread: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1070866&page=4 Ironically, the 'antagonists' in that thread (one of which was me) had just come to an amicable agreement to cease posting for the benefit of the thread. Now you've put a post on that thread that is likely to start it all up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 There's no excuse for vocabular ignorance in the age of the internet. That is my genuinely held opinion based on true facts … Facts normally are true in my opinion! . I agree with you though. Sorry for being sarcastic ... it's just how I read the post. I can't help what I write ... it just comes out of my fingers automatically and with little imagination, either brainular or fingerwise. (I honestly don't know why I'm posting this ... I put it down to gross stupidity on my behalf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've put a post on that thread that is likely to start it all up again. I wouldn't go as far as saying you were one of the antagonists. I think it's clear to see who was causing the arguments on that thread Arguing for arguments sake, springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
