I would say, in a very calm manner, which can't be said of either of the opposing sides here.

In life, I don't actively seek out confrontation. On the internet, I find it pathetic. Imagine venting your spleen to a faceless anon, who will take one glance at your post, and d'you know, it will not affect them one jot. Think how you react, it's no different, just a puerile little circle of no-point-one-upmanship.

OP doesn't like certain posts. Some people don't like the OP's, and post crap. OP responds in kind, making his "hypocritical" statements later on a little, well, hypocritical.

What I think angers a certain type of individual on here, and why you have so many "lurkers" is the extreme cliqueness (sp?) of the board - I find it amusing someone in the group can tell an absolute rotten joke/story, that offends some, who are told to get over it. Woe betide a newbie trying something similar - it's normally attacked.

I'm not sure it's right for anyone to pose as board police, particularly in trying to make a distinction in some of the (generally entertaining!) filth posted here. And I think OP would be happier not trying. There will always be a section of people willing to post absolute crap, that you cannot change. What you are in infinite control of is your faculty to read or dismiss certain articles.

Hmmm think I've kinda (understatement) lost track, but my heart was in the right place.
