If anyone is really bothering you use the ignore button it's magic also please don't let anyone stop anyone else posting in any thread, the forum is for everyone and it's poorer the less people get involved.

If the threads are poorer the less people get involved , begs the question why people are so pathetic and dumb that they use the ignore facility which has zero place on any forum and a real indication of a persons lack of manners, in my opinion. Which brings me back to my first post regarding the self proclaimed special ones and what they are really like in real life.

Don't worry what other folks do, just do your own thing.

I only joined the forum this year and in general have found it to be a really good mix of all the different things that interest me. I have enjoyed the interaction with other people where I feel that I can comment, be read and sometimes have replies.

I have however noticed that there are a few people on here who seem to take delight in being sarcastic and ridiculing other people who have a different opinion to themselves.

I have just been looking at a discussion on the science and supernatural part of the forum and feel so angry at certain people who seem to delight in putting others down. It is no longer a discussion but more an attack and defence thread. Such a shame that some on here, cannot if not really interested, leave the thread that they are spoiling alone and let others have a sensible discussion.

I am not saying that they cannot express a differing opinion but it almost amounts to bullying and the sarcasm is really unacceptable.

"Pathetic and dumb" ? You are sounding a little bit superior and special yourself now Duke....

Mike just because you are able to tolerate behaviour by members who manage to stay just within the rules but still offend some people does not mean others have to and they are perfectly entitled to the use the 'ignore' facility should they so choose. That is why it exists .
It does not make those who resort to its use pathetic, dumb or rude but is more a reflection of the inconsiderate behaviour of a few who make the use of the facility necessary.

I do agree that all should be able to have their say, disagree and use humour, even if the humour is a bit tongue in cheek. What I hate to see is someone being personally ridiculed, which I have seen. I'm sorry, but to me it is a type of bullying, where a no face person who possibly wouldn't have the courage to do the same thing in their normal life, gets some sort of satisfaction from it.
