It did escalate very quickly considering Nic offered a full and open apology.


It seemed a very understandable mistake to warrant such a reaction.

And don't get carried away with the whole "Yuds v Nic" thing - I will say it as I see it whoever is involved, I don't discriminate. I get it wrong sometimes, and sometimes I am spot on. This is the internet, with a very few exceptions I don't actually know any of you. Nic is not my friend, but neither is she my enemy as far as I am concerned. I enjoy all your cyber-company for the most part, but I don't ask anything of any of you in emotional terms, therefore any enjoyment I derive here is a happy bonus to life. I ignore anything I don't like, its not real. You all aren't a part of my real life and I am happy to keep it that way.

I don't want it to be me vs anyone either. I too make mistakes and I always try to front up and apologise for them. But recently this site doesn't feel like a bonus to a happy life for me, it feels like a battleground. I don't really know why it's become that way.

Wow, I chose a bad day to be away from the forums - I come back to continue my sports-related debate with Chrys and there's 3 new pages of this thread :P

Still, I'll finish off this argument properly now.

Chrysostom Wrote:
"Frustrating when someone bandies around an uninformed opinion criticising everyone in one sport based on hearsay and preconceptions, isn't it? :P"

Oh, definitely. Only that isn't what I did.

If you actually read my original post instead of just trolling it, what I wrote was "While I'll definitely accept there are exceptions to the rule, the rule seems to be that they're total douchebags."

This has been confirmed already.

By contrast, there isn't a single shred of evidence that there is any truth in your subsequent comments about F1 drivers, which were clearly just made because I have an F1 driver in my avatar, and made in retaliation for some perceived slight, because my truthful comment about footballers had got to you, and you can't handle it when someone criticises your heroes, regardless of whether that criticism is justified.
(And by the way, for sarcasm to get lost, it needs to have existed in the first place. Your comments about F1 drivers weren't sarcastic, they were just bitchy and * stupid too. Learn to differentiate between the two.)

In short, my comment about footballers was correct, your comments about F1 drivers weren't.
Do yourself a favour: Stick to commenting on pro-football forums in future, where there's the least chance of others offending you with honesty. Idiot. :P

--------------------------------------

For what it's worth I think it's difficult to moderate any forum at times, so mistakes are gonna get made. And Nic seems like a fair moderator and good person in general, so I wouldn't hold it against her.

(PS - noticed that last post by DevilsDuck was reply #13666.)

Did I overreact to the accidental deletion of three dots?

Did I overreact to Neil's complaint letter to the o2? Oh no, I wasn't even involved in that particular argument. It's not just me that seems hostile to everything at the moment. And no, before you start I'm not saying it's just you either. That's just a good example of a thread that has erupted into an argument without me really having anything to do with it.
