My issue stems more from the fact that this thread is a breeding ground for this type of stuff. As a working adult, i've never seen a bulletin board anywhere i've been employed which exists to facilitate the calling of people out. Anytime i've ever had a problem with someone (in real life) it's been dealt with in private. There's nothing constructive about this thread. It's just waiting for people to come in an trip the f*ck out and then be either ridiculed for it or agreed with.

If he had taken issue with my MO and addressed me in private i might have actually grown a bit. But i guess it's okay in that perhaps someone will just put this toxic dumping ground of a thread to rest. Besides, trollheart's thread about saying nice stuff is much better for everyone. I doubt it'll happen, but if i was a mod, i'd be trying to shine that kinda light instead.

Peace.

Basically, it's a thread where you tell the forum how you feel about other members. Hip Hop Bunny Hop does not like you for the reasons he mentioned. I'm not going to call him into my office for a disciplinary meeting. You're a 'working adult' - get over it.

Trollheart's thread is pretty much the same as this one but only reserved for the positive side of things when those opinions could be shared in this thread also like others have before.

I don't think I agree with this, i've seen a lot of positivity in this thread, granted it's of course more negative brought into this thread, but a lot of the time, it's either constructive criticism, or as Urban stated, brutal honesty.

A good troll has merit. Fine. But that post (or at least what you quoted) wasn't attacking trolls.

I agree people should not be restricted or censored in what they say here; it is after all the "spill your guts" thread, not the "pretend you like everyone" thread. The only time I should imagine people could take offence legitimately would be if something were said that was not true. Like if someone called me a big, fat, arrogant, sanctimonious, naive, do-gooder.

Whadday mean, fat?

The "Say something nice" thread was certainly started as an alternative to a lot of the negativity I see here, and elsewhere, but in typical MB fashion it currently seems to have descended into something of a slagging match between some members. While this is of course not the purpose it was created for, I nevertheless find this hilarious...

People have said unkind things about me here, but that's their prerogative. You have to work within the strictures of the thread itself. Who was it said "I disagree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death your right to have it"?

If you get easily offended then the answer is simple.
Don't come in this thread and you won't see anything written about you.

There's something rather hypocritical about people who like to come in this thread and read all the juicy gossip and read what people are saying about others. Yet as soon as that gossip turns out to be about them all of a sudden they show offence, and suddenly this is the big bad evil thread that's full of negativity & hatred.

Utter Bollocks

The fact is if you weren't in this thread in the first place satisfying your craving for your voyeuristic needs you wouldn't get offended in the first place.
