mickeyscouse: The whole saga, it has caused paranoia on the inter forum, peeps crying about it

The way I see it is the more people moan that they are getting then with the child like mentality around here it will attract more


People are crying over it?....I live in a wee bubble if anyone showed me the thumbs down I wouldnt even notice lol.....and really wouldnt care to be honest....for me the forums are just a bit of fun and a way of passing some time when Im bored and should not be taken too seriously.

Morning all, or should I say afternoon - just got up!!
EssJay have you looked at your mail settings. First of all only set it for the age-group you want and the countries you want mail from and any other settings. That will whittle a lot of the mail down.

Exactly.. But then you have the live in brigade who sleep/eat CS laugh and for them the difference between a good thumbs up or bad thumbs down is taken personally.

I just get the scammers from the USA. The sending scammers other scammers addresses is a good idea. I tried that in the past but got fed up wasting my time - as if I care that they profess undying love and devotion to another man! I just ask them what they found so wonderful about my profile photo and profile, and once I have seen they have read that I block them. I never got all these scam mails when I was on POF.

Forums can be addictive and it can be easy for someone who is stuck at home with nothing to do and without any inclination to do anything to become addicted to forums. There again you also have people who are tragically housebound and the internet forums are their only contact with the outside world. Years ago when I first got a computer - about 10 years ago or so - I was pretty much addicted to forums but as it was affecting my life - yes really - I was neglecting what I shouldn't neglect - I managed to wean myself off. Like Crystal (I think it was Crystal) said, for her and also for me the internet forums are just a way to while away the time.

...Or dare to have a different opinion.

Someone threatened to "chin me" over one of my posts, and rather than make me shake with fear, I just laughed.

It seems that people take forums too seriously. They are words on a screen, usually posted by people that you're likely to only ever meet 3% of.

Ooooh Dublin! Lucky you Crystal, have a Guinness or two for me??

Wanted to get over there for a quick weekend when I was in UK in November last year but couldn't stretch to it - time and money was too tight!

Cheers cheers

Oo-er uh oh maybe we should all agree to keep the same opinion and stick to it prior to joining the thread thumbs up

Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if some don't do that anyway innocent
