Bristol? Looking forwards to it?

But as I explained on another thread, all 4 parties have reached an accomodation of talking to each other, so a 2010 issue - past. Hell - me and Shaun have even reached an accomodation not to bicker at each other today.

Yeah I know. It was 'us versus the forum' (or seemed it) there for a while due to crazy hours kept by all :joker:

Yep, looking forward to getting my life back on track. Since returning from Oz I've become this mopey and annoying guy, which even I cannot stand. Another reason to I'm glad to cut down on the internet as I seem to have absorbed my life into it and forgotten the real world. :hugesmile:

I wish you well on that - Bristol looks an interesting city these days. As you've travelled widely, I'm sure you have no qualms about leaving the safety of things you know behind and going out to meet new people.

I'm not one for playing it safe, it bores me and leaves me feeling frustrated. Hopefully Bristol will be cool, although I still don't see it as my settling ground. :)

I've been shocked on TIBBs by how often people view new posters as a potential target rather than someone they might have an interesting debate/conversation with. Which is why I've posted so little since I joined. It's a pity, really. It's all about playing to the gallery and impressing the buddies.

To make a general point and not this site specific I'd say trolling is rife on the Internet because users are - usually, not always - anonymous and they are never held to account for anything, and there is little responsibility.

I've seen worse sites for trolls *cough C4 cough*. I'm not talking people posting gifs. I'm talking people (if you can call them that) making posts laughing (at least) in threads about the death of a baby. So nothing surprises me anymore

I put trolling down to boredom.
