It's fine to express your opinions / feelings [MENTION=30612]TraLa[/MENTION] but you seem to attack, there is a difference.
A very nice sentiment indeed. If you really think there is enough room for everyone, then I don't understand why you continue to stage abusive personal attacks on those posters whose ideas or phrasing displeases you. You often make an amusing and insightful contribution to a thread, but attack fairy is just plain awful.
Oh dear, I can't believe I am buying into it, but let's do it..
Jam and Topaz, this isn't the land of fluff and bubbles where farts smell like rainbows and shit tastes like chocolate. This is a forum where an abrasive poster will be abrasive, an opinionated poster will be opinionated, a humourless poster will be humourless, and a victimised poster will be the eternal victim and so on. That is my point, we may not share views and argue passionately regarding our opinions but there is enough room for all of us. That doesn't mean we all have to don our PJ’s giggle all night and have a pillow fight and be BBF’s. It means while some of us can’t stand the sight of each other – there is enough room for all of us, whatever the personality (or there lack of) type.
I think a lot of you people miss a direct and confrontational post as being “attacking”. Scroll back and tell me where I have been attacking. I was merely stating my opinion in a direct manner. I was then asked to clarify as to why I held my opinion (and was told told to “fuck off” and called a “dickhead” in the same sentence) to which I further explained and was once again called a “dickhead” and yet somehow I am the attacker. Moonbeam, or whatever her name is, then tried to rally public support by involving another poster in her argument (new level of pathetic if you ask me, but anyhoo…), bleating about her “attack” begging them to scroll back and take a look, but again, I am viewed as the attacker.
To be honest, I don’t think some of you would recognise a bona fide attack if it crept up behind you and gave you an atomic wedgie causing your arsehole to scream. A post that makes you self-reflect, or feel hurt, or feel angry, frustrated or uncomfortable is not an attack, it is a reaction to an opinion. However if I was going to score aggression, I would suggest telling someone to fuck off or losing your temper and calling them names like the c word (I would write it but it will, for some reason, be censored internally) or a dickhead seems far more aggressive than an observation, response or opinion which doesn't please you.
The irony is while you are all back slapping each other with support of your shared “TraLa is aggressive” opinion; I too have received support from some unlikely posters through PM’s in the last couple of weeks, which has been both surprising and pleasing. In fact the latest one greeted me this very morning. Knowing the culture of a forum and how some people hate to stand up for what they believe in in the public arena, I will keep the posters anonymous, however you know who you are, so feel free to own it publicly --> if you dare! But seriously your identities are safe with me. In all honesty, I appreciate a PM that doesn't involve the usual physical threats, name calling and abuse!
Your response to Mudcake's question post would be my nomination for post of the year, it is as if you read my mind.
Bahaha god I laughed at your post in that thread! You my friend are a classic! Beautiful work! and yes I dont really remember Rolf Harris from my childhood but he from what I have seen has always given off weirdo vibes (I get similar vibes from the old red wiggle, just sayin!)
seriosly lovin yr work i luv the way u say it like it is
keep up the naughty fairy, I love it
So it would appear that not everyone in here hold the same view as Team Terrorised.
My God forum fighting is like fucking in an alley, while it is excitingly enjoyable at the time, by the end it just leaves you feeling dirty, ashamed and unsatisfied, I feel like I need a shower.
Now let’s swing this puppy back on topic though, I mean seriously the only thing worse than a TraLa opinion is a pedo, which brings us back to Jimmy Saville…
