@DiggusBickus That's definitely true. @colonelkilgore Sad about @JudgeDredd. He has been here for ages under many various guises. I saw him leave a (now deleted) post complaining about the general state of things in this neck of the woods yesterday, so I'm not really shocked. As you say, though - we're dropping like flies.😔.
@kyleforrester87 The rules are right below the comment box. The one thing that people haven’t grasped is that comments aimed at specific groups or users slagging them off is against the rules. Whereas somebody making a comment saying that abuse of a specific group is a bad thing isn’t against the rules as it doesn’t target anybody. This isn’t a ‘both sides’ thing, this is a basic common courtesy thing. If you punch someone in the face then the police get involved. If you say ‘don’t punch people in the face’ then the police don’t get involved. I need to turn off the emails thing cause I still get notifications before the comment is removed, meaning that I get to see my lovely fans with their one comment saying some truly lovely hate crimes. There was a wave of people leaving during the George Floyd protests because they equated racist comments being removed with communism, this isn’t really anything different.
@roadhog I mean, you’ve been a member for like a month 😂 why pipe up with that nonsense! People just have to have a say. Take a step back and behave, it’s like secondary school!
*Sigh. Can’t we all just get along guys? The meta-commentary is getting tiresome.
Write your comment, read it over, give it 10 seconds & if you still wish to post it do so…or delete it.

@nessisonett Nah, it only takes a couple of minutes to create another account. They could at least be a little creative and create a NessisonettSucks or something though.
Hmmm, maybe I'll take that one while it's still free... Just kidding, I swear... lol

@roadhog Before posting, you may want to seriously ask yourself, “what am I trying to accomplish with this?” You don’t have to support or even have an understanding of trans issues to meet a baseline level of human respect. This isn’t a junior high locker room. It’s a public forum open to folks from all walks of life. Quite simply, grow up.
@roadhog See, now that’s funny. Unfortunately it’s been completely undermined by the obnoxiously rude and unfunny ‘joke’ that preceded it. Be better, dude. Life’s too short to go around intentionally hurting people for no good reason.

@Anti-Matter there’s been a fair few departures of late, many of whom were long established users and good people. I guess tensions are running high as a result.
@Anti-Matter I can’t speak for whatever’s taken place above but concerning my part in the last exchange, I simply tried to disarm a mean spirited and completely asinine joke aimed at baiting a reaction. I would normally stroll on by such a thing as it’s not worth giving the time of day but the utter stupidity of it just got to me. It wasn’t an opinion, point of view, perspective…whatever. It was a bad joke given far too much effort. Surely, if the user would only try, there’s a much more constructive, reasonable and - frankly - interesting side of himself to offer the forums. He and all of us can do better.
