Go on, have your say - why me?

SexyGreyFox · 21 May 2008 at 07:57

People come on here all the time talking about their experiences or offering advise without any criticism but for some reason (and I know this is an age issue) when I post, some posters see it has me being a 'know all'.
I'll be very lucky if I live another 15 years in the area I come from so why I can't talk about my life experiences is beyond me.
So I saw Led Zep 4 times and other amazing classic rock bands but why should that bother anybody on here except the likes of Big Kev or ElvisFan?
Somebody has even used my Human resources job at the NHS against me to have a dig which is so childish.
I give advise in the MUSIC section and I know by emails I get that some people are just waiting to have a dig at the simplest things I post eg 'I'd recommend a Gibson Les Paul Standard' and then I get an email saying '**** *** you old ****, you know nothing'.
I'm not a very clever person and I use these forums to learn and ask advise and the quality of posters on here is excellent.
I have learnt so much in the last few years I've been here but every now & then I can add something from my experiences and suddenly I'm the devil.

So go on, have your say, why can't I have my say without some posters having a dig?

My view?

So I saw Led Zep 4 times and other amazing classic rock bands

I must have seen you quote that figure (and also stuff about Queen or something) post after post, and in wildly different threads, probably like 30 times. We know now, we get it!

Other than that, you have your uses I guess!

I don't know why. If you get more mails like that I want to know.

OcUK'ers are a bunch of online bullies.

Not been a poster here for long but I can say I've never had a problem with you dmpoole, and from my view you haven't come across as a know it all.

I used to get emails with ocuk as the subject trying to trick me into going onto porn sites, at that time my ocuk trust was the only place which had that email

err this isn't serious is it?

Carzy · 21 May 2008 at 08:09

And yea, I'm pretty shocked people actually bother to email you. Seems ridiculously pathetic.

I've had to put up with this attitude for years against me and no doubt someone will post that I come over as old bloke who patronises younger ones.
I had an incident when I first joined the forums where (and I can't believe I posted this) I told somebody that their view didn't count because of their age.
I still feel awful about it and some people still use it against me.

Anyway, off to work because I'm a Doctor don't you know.

Dimple. We all love you really.

shifty_uk · 21 May 2008 at 08:22

Who emails? Name and shame.

scorza · 21 May 2008 at 08:48

You did start a thread entitled something like "Why are all IT support geeks up their own bottoms?" on a forum with a sizable population who are, or aspire to be IT support geeks. If that's not fishing for flames I don't know what is

Bar · 21 May 2008 at 08:51

I never have understood those who email other members direct.

If you have the courage of your convictions say it on the forum or not at all.

Any one could make that thread though, even people at school and shizz. I just don't understand what you do as a job lol....sometimes you talk about the NHS and then about puttin kids grades into a database, may be i am just thick.
