Soda Jerk Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 It was aimed at the whole thread, and whoever was involved in the cringeworthy arsepiss that was being spouted. I quoted a cartoon which summed up how I feel about it. I'm not going to bubblewrap everything I say because some chap seems to get offended at almost everything imaginable. I don't see how the quote could have possibly triggered his reaction. He literally just picked a word and turned it around to his own situation to create some psuedo I'm-so-insulted situation.Heap of shite.

Does something have to be aimed at someone directly to be offensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashhh Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 So if you had cancer, or any disease for that matter, and it was mentioned in such a way that it was flipant, it wouldn't hit a nerve with you?where do you stop with this mentality though? one of my parents has an alcohol problem, does that mean i should pull up anyone who talks about getting drunk cause it hurts my feelings? not that it does, cause you know, this is just an internet message board and not really the most serious of businesses.

I just think that comments like that were more likely to have a negative effect and be offensive than ones I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dont see it being any worse than normal.I can't as it has all been deleted.But it's becoming more and more that you have to trawl through pages of shite, childish banter and arguing to try and find one or two decent posts these days, I'm beginning to think that posting here isn't really worth the effort any more.

Lucius Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 show me some of this abysmal chat, appart from this thread or the one that was blocked earlier. I honestly dont see it being any worse than normal.We can't because thankfully the majority of the shit chat has been deleted. That should have been the end of it but thanks to certain individuals the chat has remained shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 My current pet hate is Microsoft Word 2007. Older versions were far easier to navigate and use, gosh darn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don;t want sympathy, cause thats where I think your going with this, so before you go there, don'tno, where i'm going with this is that you're being overly sensitive. no one aimed anything at you, and to be honest some of your chat i've seen on here has been grim and i am far from easily offended, but i haven't thrown my toys out of the pram about it because this is JUST A MESSAGE BOARD. if you're that easily upset about anyone even mentioning cancer in the passing maybe you should reconsider frequenting this website. or any other forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it on purpose and have admitted it. They do it because they had a bit of a dispute about parking with another of our neighbours.Unfortunately it's always us that suffer as when we get hoime everyone is parked so selfishly we end up having to park miles away from the bloody flat.

sexytunk Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 no, where i'm going with this is that you're being overly sensitive. no one aimed anything at you, and to be honest some of your chat i've seen on here has been grim and i am far from easily offended, but i haven't thrown my toys out of the pram about it because this is JUST A MESSAGE BOARD. if you're that easily upset about anyone even mentioning cancer in the passing maybe you should reconsider frequenting this website. or any other forum.Well maybe I am a little sensitive yeh, but if your ever in my shoes, you'll understand why!But this has went far to far, and lets end it now.

Diesel Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Would you like a spoon? ha haRead my thoughts Pet hate of the day....The excessive use of descriptives and superlatives in marketing...Example: -Flora Pro-Active - how is it pro-active exactly? Will it jump out the fridge and do my ironing without me asking?My all-time fave was a full-page ad for the Nissan X-Trail SUVUsual action shot, co/2 emisions, yadda yadda...... but in the "Model Shown..." small print at the bottom it said......"Extreme" roofbars 375 extra.What the fukkin fuk could possibly be "extreme" about a set of grandad roofbars?There's too many others examples mention, but I'd love to know which ones you guys find amusing/irritating/ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I thought was a little misleading, as it makes it sound as though it's going to somehow make you more fertile, when really all it does is tell you which day you're most likely to fall pregnant on. Aye OK it will work in that sense, but if you're not going to conceive due to medical reasons, it's not "clinically proven to increase your chances of conceiving", which is what the advert made it sound like. Not false advertising or anything, just misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
