    You are just describing self censorship. Avoid certain topics, and you know what they are and you will be alright or say what you think and wait for them to circle.

    Personally I don’t give a toss and for every bully here  I have made an equal number of friends, some  I meet and others still email friends yet.

     

    AD, it's a case of being part of the problem or part of the solution. It's incumbent on us all to be part of the solutionHappy

    So, please tell us, Arty (Boo, not the other one), has anything you've read here removed your nervousness about posting? As you can see, the vast majority of people believe it's OK to disagree as long as it's done with respect. Most people here are decent
    and polite.

    Write your comments here...  Hi Tinny, I am not nervous per-se however, the forum DOES get a little heated now and again over what SOME might see as trivia. I am not a shrinking violet by any means and if I feel strongly enough I will comment. Often, I just
    want to write 'what a load of b.......ks, but that would not be polite or respectful: therefore I don't write anything

    Thanks, Arty. I think, as has been said, the secret is to remain respectful of the person while tearing their argument to shreds in as diplomatic way as possible. Some people obviously don't care about the feelings of others and they really don't deserve
    the level of respect most of us try to maintain. Keep on posting your views - don't let the odd few put you off.

    I can't see a problem, to be honest, Admiral.

    If they choose to get nasty after basically replying to your post or you replying to theres  Give as good if not better than you get, then say "out of respect for others on the forum I will make no further reply " let them blow a gasket Wink

    I always ask myself, by getting into a heated argument, what do I hope to achieve.  If the answer is, very little, then it hardly seems worth the agro.  Life's too short to get all hot under the collar on a forum.  So much more to do with time..
