Why The Outrage ?

[Canary42]

Why is it that some people scour the media every day in order to populate this Forum with their manufactured outrage ?

[Hopkirk]

Nowt else to do

[Retrochic]

How dare you ask that question? what are you presuming? Don't insult my intelligence by pretending its a joke....I'm outraged! ;-)

[Baldric]

What Outrage?

[EcclesCake]

I consider it an amusing spectator sport, I suspect I am not alone.....

[Marshwarble]

It's almost as if the tabloids were feeding this sort of outrage!

[joggerjayne]

Isn't that how we all behave in normal life?

If we get together for a drink, or supper, we talk about things on which people might have an opinion.

I'm now outraged that JJ insinuates I'm alcoholic and obese!

Be more pacific, Canary

[Postdog]

Why is it that some people come here looking for posts to argue with too..

We are all symbiotic...

[Retrochic]

I think its only journalists that are 'outraged', when they report on 'public outrage' I usually get annoyed as most of the time I'm not 'outraged' at all -especially if its about Politicians or celebrity shenanigans.

Well you either do that or ask what your favourite biscuit is - if you want lots of replies

[janbee]

To get their profile points total increased !

Its getting very predictable and boring on here recently - I don't know why, maybe newbies don't hang around as it does have a very 'private club' sense sometimes. Same posts,same arguments,same 'outrage'.

[Sipowicz]

Same old same old!

[pusskin]

And theres me wondering where all the trolls have gone!

[Retrochic]

pusskins your troll remark is typical of this site. You can hardly call people trolls who have been members for years and participated in many serious debates. Its just a 'cop out' when people don't like what others are saying' -just another personal insult.

[ummmm]

This site used to be full of trolls.

[Retrochic]

Now its full of people who are 'outraged' on a daily basis -I would rather have outrageous than outraged, much more fun.

[ummmm]

The trolls are probably still here keeping under the radar.
