Bit of a shock when you see a group like Saga,basically set up to bring the older generation into the modern world of blogging ,and they shoot themselves in the foot.
You will ALWAYS have someone who wants to drag a site down with their arguments .Some people would cause an argument in an empty room.
As for C.S it's up to all of us to keep the site friendly.
Some people in life get their kicks by watching others squirm. They are usually obnoxious people outside of here, and fortunately we don't have to come face to face with them.
Taking on the role of CS protector is very commendable,but others are quite capable of standing up for themselves, or should find the courage to ignore rebel rousers.
I leave my personal life totally out of this place,and try to treat all with respect.It's not easy I'll admit,but feeding trolls has never, and will never work.
Leave them alone to play and they will get bored eventually.
You have to be thick skinned at times to cope with what life chucks at you.You need an even thicker one in here.
This kind of brutality is becoming the norm in this part of the world.
34 miners shot dead in Marikana in August 2012 for daring to strike against conditions.
A human rights worker shot and killed.
What they hoped to achieve by this beggars belief. Just for parking his taxi on the wrong side of the road. Hope they throw the book at them,but doubt it.
As I have said the past is the past, and dragging it up on here is not what this blog is about.
It's about encouraging people to join in and participate. Some comments about the way others behave now ,is unacceptable ,in my opinion. I'm sure with a little intelligence it's quite easy to chose blogs that are purely for fun ,and others that have some depth.
For Boban and in response to an email just received.
I have not mentioned anywhere, any reference, to people who have been banned. Before my time and not for me to comment.
I refer to people who have, and are ,leaving through choice. This is a sad fact of which you surely must be aware,as it's still ongoing.
As for the blogs being a great place,there are still some good people here ,but with comments about drunks and punks ,and lack of knowledge,it doesn't exactly give encouragement for people to post now does it. j.m.o.
"Mickey, For you this might be just the internet, a virtual world where you can be whoever you want to be. For me this is a way to communicate with other real people, not much different then a Phone really. Or do you pretend to be someone else when someone calls you?"
It is just the internet,nothing more, nothing less,but still no excuse to go off on one .
I've already commented on my last post "We are people from all walks of life jogging along together sharing our thoughts"
I have phone contacts with several members outside of here.They know me for who I am,and I'm not out to impress anyone. I'm here for blogging and having the crack.
If people want to stick labels on me ,I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it.
That's why I steer clear of controversy,not because I'm a coward,I'm just not interested in fighting with people.
Sorry but if the dog has attacked the cat and is known for this, it will do it again to another unsuspecting cat. The owners should be informed, and the dog kept under control.

RE: coffee a smoke and a chat to the good folk of CS
Morning Pedro,Coffees fine, but leave out the killer cigarettes. Many on here are trying or have given up so we should respect that.
