That's It - I've Had Enough

[Mrs.Sippy]

I started contributing to Answerbank almost from its inception many years ago though under several guises dependent on the ISP I was using at the time. Then it was a friendly gathering of the minds full of jocular banter and so very interesting with those in the know passing on their knowledge to those wanting to learn. However more recently it's been hijacked by the more single-digit-intelligence brigade whose sole purpose is to see their vitriolic comments on the screen. It struck home only recently when reading an interesting thread when I came across a comment posted by the thread's author about some troglodyte who'd been stalking them over a mild rebuke he'd given because of an insult they'd inflicted; I won't name them out of the respect they certainly don't deserve but they came back with a comment the gist of which was "so we hit a nerve did we" and the author returned with something akin to "the last 'we' is a giveaway. You sound like a representative of a pack of wolves, snarling, waiting to pounce". He hit the nail right on the head and it was then I realised how far this site has sunk. The sad part is that by far the greater majority are as I remember them, it's only a tiny minority who tarnish it for the rest but this tiny minority have the biggest mouths, the most vitriolic language and who are the most cowardly hostile.
This site should remove the anonymity with which the internet provides them and make their true identities perhaps not prominently on the screen but certainly easily found. That would silence these cowards and hopefully bring it back to the child-friendly forum it used to be.
If any of my students came anywhere close to this degree of hostility and disrespect I'd have them sent down immediately.
By the way you loathesome creatures, have this one on me. I'll be leaving for good this time so stick in as many boots as you like, I won't see it.

Confusing isn't it? I guess Mr Sippy would have sounded like a wet ice cream.

[Davemano]

Baldric - I see that now, I posted before I got to the finer details.

[Retrochic]

I was just thinking the other day how boring AB was

[rsvp]

mamyalynne the last few days you've made a couple of oneliner answers that have really tickled my sense of humou. Many thanks for the chuckles!!!

[Mamyalynne]

rsvp - that's very kind,glad if I made you smile.

I don't go in for long wordy answers as a rule.

[rsvp]

Good mamaylynne - the short answers work for me.

That's it I have waited long enough. I see that mr slippy is STILL anonymous despite recommending that we all come out. Got to feel sorry for the 'students, will they ever be able to express an opinion without teacher walking out of the '' classroom''. Play Niiccee.

From the screed it would appear that the OP is someone anxious to demonstrate his/her dexterity with words and phraseology, failing miserably.

[woofgang]

Intersting how the post and the quoted post are written in the same style....surely not by the same person????

I am a bit sorry really.... I made a genuine enquiry about what the website that demanded a password was....genuinely hoping to be helpful and was accused of accusing the poster of being a liar and it all went downhill from there. Its not my habit to poke sensitive types, its not cricket and no fun....however heigh ho.

I had fusion cuisine for lunch today. Sushi followed by a clotted cream and jam scone.

[Togo]

Just having a fusion sippy woofie. Sipped a beer sippin a G n gonna sip a shiraz. That may fuse me.

[rockyracoon]

Woofy, here's a website that you have to register with before you can look http://www.casafina.com/login

Very annoying.

I did see the original thread but didn't fancy helping the OP as s/he was too abrasive ;)

[woofgang]

thanks rocky, but if it was just a vente privee type account, why refuse to say what it was?

[murraymints]

oo dear no more nmrs nice nice watserfaced

[Baldric]

Ironic. isn't it?
This appears to be their most popular thread!

[murraymints]

Balders.you already have blood in that phial ....we bleeping ordinarly souls have to visit Gness for that jab...

[Mosaic]

Hang on - there used to be a statutory flounce form.....

[chanel5]

Hee Hee this made me laugh for quite a while. Usually i am the one who takes things way too seriously. But this makes me see how ridiculous I must look when I do that. So I will try not to do it again. PS. I loved the "Flounce Announce" form.
