Re: Do You Ever Feel Embarrassed At The Rudeness Shown To Others?
I cringe when I hear people being rude. I often start defending who they are being rude to. I've seen rudeness on forums, but I think some people can single you out and follow you around the forum just to harass you. That's my experience anyway. Laugh is, they don't realise other people notice

Yes there is no need for personal attacks on the poster, I've seen here recently a poster been called 'retarded' just because their opinions were different, terrible thing to say.
What would potential members think when they see the likes of that? It certainly wouldn't encourage them to post that's for sure.

I luvs you Floydy, cos that's exactly how I feel.
Other than that, the odd WUM can be like an irritating itch, but on the whole I love the banter and fun threads, the Gardening, and Pets, plus a lot on the General Chat.
Very rarely are there any bad feelings in any of those, and if there is, I tend to walk away.
It's almost always the politics and.or religious threads that get stupid and nasty.
Can't be arsed with opinionated twerps on here as well as in me daily life. I come here for a break from hassle.

I agree with the majority on rudeness, and yes it does put me off posting. The childish name calling and the insulting use of derogatory words used to describe people of a different nationality I find disgraceful. Not everyone had the same opinion as others, but on a site for over 50s I would have thought people would have got over childish name calling years ago. Obviously I was wrong.

I go in there regular to try and get rid of them as I'm a fan of monotheism. Just kidding.

Re: Do You Ever Feel Embarrassed At The Rudeness Shown To Others?
Well I'll admit I've been rude on occasion and I'm afraid unless the member that continually is rude to me stops I'll do it again.Comes a point when you've had each word questioned for days you do just decide to either stop posting or be rude and I'm not going to be run off the forum by anyone.
So apologies to anyone put off posting but I promise I love other opinions given honestly it's just poking and prodding at each word I use makes me react. So if you are just not of same opinion you are safe from my rudeness.
