So being the ripe old age of 20 I guess I can come under the Skye excuse of "he's 20 he's immature".
But seriously, the amount of people getting the knickers in a twist over trolls or forum members (including myself) having a go at each other is annoying.
Which leads me to my point of this thread - does everyone think there are specific standards of etiquette to abide by when being on the BBB forums? The obvious ones - no racism, no homophobia etc. but is there other ones that people feel need to be enforced?
I love forums, I think they're fantastic - people from all walks of life can come have a chat, have fun and mostly what I enjoy is the arguments that ensue. No argument has ever affected me online because A - I don't know any of these people in real life and B - It's easy to talk behind a computer screen.
The disagreements and different personalities are what makes forums FORUMS. If you don't want to read a particular thread? Don't read it. Don't like what people are saying to other forum members, get over it. Chances are they have done something in order for this person to be saying certain things to another forum member - unless the attack is completely unprovoked and unnecessary, personal trolling.
But somehow I (and others) are made out to be a scandalous villain when they disagree with someone or have a general disliking to a forum member. We aren't put on this forum to get along no matter how much you'd like your cliche little "Let's all talk about BB and have fun" yeah kumbaya and all that shit.
