GD is one of the sub forums I have avoided apart from a few posts in the really popular threads e.g. CheekyKid's story about the girl he met on the internet.

It tends to have the people with the biggest egos from what I have seen. Also if you are new to the forums as I am I have seen a lot of people having their join date used against them. I think there is a group of people who always hang around here and are pretty well known and it is pretty difficult to fit in with them as a wrong post can get them all against you.

I think I'll wait till I have been here a bit longer before I venture any deeper into this uncharted territory.

Agreed. I especially dislike it when members go all alpha and start baiting each other. I think some peeps indulge in getting as close to the line as possible without crossing it. They are no better than those who actually cross the line.

Not as an underboss anyway, he emailed TC to quit that. I think it's ridiculous the amount of stick he got just for participating in GD.

Quite, while it may have been intended in jest, it was obviously the latest of a myriad of posts generally attacking BTR.

I emailed him a little while ago with a reply when he had to close one of his own threads asking a standard sensible question because of the abuse he was taking.

Regardless of the original intent, it would not hurt to apologise for any offence even though none was meant. It is simple common courtesy.

Whether or not you should be apologising Nix, I'm not sure. But from my previous encounters with you on the board, you've always struck me as a pretty caring, straight-up person. I can't imagine there was any malice intended at all, and as you've said, there wasn't.

But surely you can at least understand where people are coming from when they say that it could be taken as offensive? It wasn't just your post, because your post actually triggered some posts from other people. Perhaps he's always had an issue with this, and he's just let it slide before because he's being a nice guy?

I've never once seen him complain about it. If I knew he was going to fly off the handle, I'd have not bothered to keep the peace. I'm sorry that he feels hurt by it, sure. It's hard not emphasise, but regardless, he's a grown man and should be able to shrug this off by now and that's why I'm not apologising. I clarified my position and I'm not going to think any less of him if he chooses to stay, nor will I treat him any differently. That's all he's getting from me. What you need to understand is by taking my stance I'm giving him credit that he's mature enough to shrug it off. We all have our off moments, which is again, why I suggest he take a breather. For anyone to assume that I wasn't able to understand his position in the first place wasn't taking all the information in.

Anyway, I'm not going to say anymore on the issue.

I have no idea why Tefal gets called a bully, he's always struck me as a huge fairy.

This is Tefal:

The only difference is that he's very sneaky. Like the Japanese. What they did at Pearl Harbour... veeewwy sneaky.

Sorry Nix, I understand that you meant no specific offense and have made your position clear, but would it really be that difficult to apologise for any offence taken, even though it was unintentional.

Saying that you are giving him credit for his maturity by not accepting responsibility for the unintentional consequences of your own post is somewhat immature, is it not?
