Who would you be referring to Josy and how would you be aware if someone was tipsy? does that apply to members that are stoned out of their heads as well, and a great deal of members who jump on the bandwagon the very second their pals do the same with certain members?

I agree, I mean if one member can type coherently when they're drunk and another can't it makes no difference really and it seems a very small thing to bother about, if you can't understand their post you don't have to reply. Its worse coming on and goading or inciting arguments, but I guess that can be done whether drunk or sober. I'm not sure we can always know if a member is drunk so how can they be stopped from posting

I'm talking about when it's complete and utter nonsense, that they are so inebriated that they cannot string a word never mind a sentence together...many people can post quite drunk and you'd never know!!

No offence Pyramid but (using me as an example) if I come on here drunk, which isn't often (twice in the last 6 months), I stick to chat and games threads, so why is that a bother? It's not like I go around insulting people or picking a fight or act a dick. If I were to venture into serious debates for example then I could see your point on this, but nobody ususally does. We stick to chat and games which is for CHAT and games so sometimes that will be the odd drunken chat.
Fair enough they don't all make sense my posts and I cringe the next day, but most of us that get drunk cause no harm.
Also pyramid, why do you seem to always have an issue with at least something or someone on here? It's getting dull now.

In reply to your last sentence, surely the old 'if you don't like the thread or find someone's posts dull' don't reply to them then.? It seems a bit hypocritical on your own part that that is the advice given out to others when it's suitable?

Good point, I'd hardly have said that was suitable for 13 year olds either & you've made posts similar to ones like that around the forum
I have to say Pyramid that recently you've become very judgemental, argumentative and provocative and you know you're doing it; it's becoming increasingly clear that it's no accident that you often end up in heated arguments, you do it intentionally

Guess what, no one can cause arguments on their own I'm afraid. I raised a thread giving my opinions. If people don't agree with that, that's absolutely quite right. Your own post seems to be more of a personal dig rather than debating or dicussing the subject matter - which I honestly (truly...) thought was against forum rules: ie; getting personal? Mabye I'm misinterpreted that as there seems (seems?) to be lot of it in this thread directed at me in the recent posts?

For that I thank you Rhino. I agree. It most certainly does come across that I am being attacked for daring to put up a thread that may be a little heated. But if posts are replied to with some reason - there's no need for it to be so. I do wonder if Tibbs wants serious debates, with some flurry of passion along the lines.... or if it's simple banal boring stuff about the latest TV programme etc. Seems pointless in having a serious debates thread if people are going to get all bent out of shape and start becoming personal.

I can quite assure you - your comments have been personal - so far as to say some of my posts have been weird and creepy - I actually find that incredibly insulting to say the least - given some things that occur on thi forum. As for the personal slant, there are others who have added to this thread today who have been very 'vocal' on a personal basis and I'm a little surprised as I did (as I say) think it wasn't quite acceptable to criticise the poster personally.
