I just don't see them as insults because they aren't offending or insulting anybody at all.

It does add negativity though. No one has complained to me about it and I do it in almost every post, everyone goes along with the joke, however you've made a specific point to raise an issue up out of nothing.


I understand you were only expressing your concerns though and I appreciate that
Ok then, I am in the wrong and everyone else can go about there normal behavior.

Its just a shame that I felt the need to raise this issue and all I get is **** from people. I tried to raise it because it make me uncomfortable.

And I am sure I'm not the only one.

New members will look at this style of posting and it does make insulting more acceptable. Whether the OP says it is a joke even if the one its aimed at knows its a joke other wont

No one has said you are in the wrong. I see where you are coming from, but I don't see a need to change my behaviour when no one has complained to me about it, when I receive a complaint from a "victim" of my joke insults, then I'll consider how I approach people.

I have to stand up for the majority here, you can't just say you're getting **** from everyone just because they don't agree with you, you shouldn't expect everyone to agree with you all the time. You're probably not the only one, you are right there but we are certainly not the only ones who disagree with you. It's just a clash of opinions not people giving you ****.


Sorry Mark

I agree with Hugo, you have to respect everyone's opinion Kiz, not everyone can agree with you, can't use that as an excuse to say everyone's "giving you ****"

Ok.... but I was just trying to raise the subject of how joke insults have become the norm and everyone has said its ok so long as its a joke.

I was wrong and I'm sorry. I stupidly thought I would be able to raise an issue that was upsetting me

Night guys

It's easy to just not read it/get involved if it's nothing to do with you.

That's my motto.

I do think you're right on certain things though Kiz.

You were able to raise it- but people realised that it had nothing behind it and the majority agree.

So yeah
