I'm not attacking her, just pointing out the hypocrisy of certain points.

fair enough it was more to do with someone saying the OP was doing something intentionally, when it might just be something that bothers her and she's made a thread about it. Personally it doesn't bother me at all (members being drunk) like I said before. I virtually don't drink at all, maybe once every couple of years or so on a special occasion but if I had had a drink I would probably not be able to type coherently and I would hate to think I would be banned or have an infraction for that

No worries.

The couple of times I've come online drunk I cringe the next morning at how bad I was, lol. But I've learnt to live with making a fool of myself on occasions, it's part of life.

To avoid typos we all should communicate by videos instead.

That's even worse. My birthday I was such a mess and rambling on video was hideous to watch the next morning. At least I get to see what I'm like when I'm drunk.

Oh the multiquote thing? You see the button next to quote (right hand side), hit that so it goes red, then do that for all the posts you want to quote. On the last post you are wanting to quote you hit the actual 'quote' button. It should bring them all up for you in one post.

Oh no!! I don't usually make many typos when i'm drunk, infact my typing probably has less mistakes when I'm drunk because I'm being so careful and check it loads before I hit reply! You can't hide it on video though

I'm actually going to watch a season of The Real World now though, the Sydney one, he gave me the link.


And was it you that left a comment on one saying that I need a shave.

I would only communicate by videos if I knew creepy members wouldnt download it

I was just making a point based on general observation, nothing personal about it, I don't have any personal problems with anyone on here.

Just testing - I'd never even noticed that button before (must have been too drunk)

No problem I don't know that the OP has any particular problems with individuals either but obviously members being online drunk bothers her so she's just expressing that

I think you will find that it's very clearly headed up ADULT.... couldn't be clearer if I tried - you know - ADULT light hearted conversation with a twist - or is that not allowed. I don't believer there was anything in there that even comes close to members on here discussing their sex lifes (or the want of a sex life) in the unbelieveably graphic manner they do - or indeed, forum members sending photos of their genitals to god knows how many people. Now that... is beyond the pale - no matter what way you regard it.

Besides which: A double entendre is exactly that ... could have one meaning or could have another - it all depends on how the reader choses to interpret it. As for weird and creepy... each to their own as you say. I'd hazard a guess that I'm probably one of the least 'weird and creepy' types on here (posting style or otherwise).

Lewd sex talk is part of the game around here and at the risk of sounding harsh ... nobody is going to change that for you. Most of us don't mind it. Quite a large number of us find it hysterical. I agree it's not great for thirteen year olds but there's a very obvious solution to that and it works in the favour of the majority.

Just seems so frivolous to constantly complain about things nobody else seems to mind. I'm not saying leave the forum but it's like booking a flight to a country then going straight to the top dogs with a list of things you don't like that you think they should change or do to your standards. Nobody will listen. A few will find it annoying and might get a bit jaded.

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?

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!!

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?

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.

I totally get what you are saying, and to a large extent.. I do agree.

Bit that's annoying me here.... (and not about your post above) but 3 guesses what.. this thread isn't about the 'lurid sex talk'... it was about something entirely different... given that this thread isn't 'griping ' about such sex talk...... I'm getting some hard time for starting a jovial lighthearted innuendo thread...... when I wasn't even complaining about the sex side of things to start off with !!!

Seems you can't please anybody on here.
