Well, it's certainly very quiet tonight - perhaps everyone's doing as I am, making dinner.
Anyway, just some "food" for thought [he-he], regarding the folks who come on threads, and then use pm's to tell others to 'go away', quite frankly I thinks it's cowardly and downright nasty.
If you don't like someone, or the way they post, simply ignore them, don't respond to their post and just let them be. If they are being rude to
YOU DIRECTLY,
THEN bring it up.
IF someone is being rude to someone else, you can bet your bottom dollar the
whole thread will take issue with that person, tell him/her off, and then there will be no need to do pm's.
I do understand that if you "think" someone is being rude, or you don't understand a post, that asking in a PM is a nice, polite way of taking it offline. It happens to all of us - we make a post that someone doesn't understand [perhaps it's a longstanding joke and you are a newcomer] so then that's a good place to either take it offline, or simply ASK.
It happened recently to me and RaZ [from MI] - he made a comment about me being a
double thread killer, after I had posted about killing the WA thread. The post was humorous, but the person reading was a newbie and didn't understand the topic. She
asked, and was answered. No problem.
So, let's all play nice in this sandbox; and if you don't want to play nice, please go somewhere else to be mean. Let the rest of us have out bit of fun
