Keef Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ha, yep Sean, just looked back at that post, and wasn't quite sure what I'd actually said. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-169284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Brendan - in a way i wish it was serious. Serious can be interesting. And i love the silly stuff too But it seems to be serious subjects dealt with badly. . You are never more than 2 posts away from someone bringing up something irrelevant to the argument. . Usually class or nappies. If its in a thread about those things then fine but sweet baby moses its everywhere at the moment Also misogyny and race are bubbling under too many things Its just not that pleasant Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-169292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There doesn?t seem to be any actual misogyny or racism just a lot of sentiment that wants to try to accuse people of it. It?s almost like it lends someone some credibility if they have an indisputable corner to defend. Anyway stop it I?m not getting into this. I?m off to watch video clips of people falling over and cats wearing clothes.

I'm going to resolve to be more Brendanesque and stop getting upset by it all. In fact, I'm going to go off in my headscarf and frown elsewhere.What's LBC?

It?s almost like it lends someone some credibility if they have an indisputable corner to defend. I more or less agree with Brendan. People oftn seem to want to point a finger at others and accuse them of something nasty, whilst at the same time putting themselves on somes sort of moral high ground. It makes me really angry.I do however think there ave been a few wiffs of nastiness under the surface of some threads.

Brendan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It?s all very interesting really, you know sociologically, if you?re interested in how online communities develop and what effect they have on real communities. If you?re interested in that kind of stuff. I?m not. Here?s a picture of a forumite bashing the bishop.

Ted Max Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I thought you might be interested to know I've kissed and made up with Moos following Princess Anne-gate.

charliecharlie Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Even though I have not been on the forum that long, I too have noticed a shift in mood/flavour/tone... what ever you like to call it... when I first started posting there were lots of aspects I likedsome hilariously witty and clever postssome good debates with a twist and the chance to link up (like at the drink thingy) with some great new peoplethe chance to let people know about things that were happening in EDthe opportunity to ask adviceand more and more and more (the hilarious bit being my favourite)some to the above feels a bit over shadowed at the momenthope it bobs to the top againthanks for all the good stuff so far Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-169418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ah I thought that hat looked a bit ?foreign?. It?s getting so that a chap can?t send his wife down the grocers unescorted for fear of her being spirited away by some moustachioed, olive skinned sort, bedecked with medallions and a Casanova like knowledge of organic produce.

Ted Max Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It's true that these foreign chaps seem to be able to work their magic with the ladies.Look at this English lummox getting it all wrong - it looks like he's trying warm her chilblains up, for goodness' sake. http://i43.tinypic.com/nlrm0z.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-169452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenED Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There have been a lot of new people rocking up at the drinks in the last couple of months which might seem to indicate an increasing interest in the forum in general. If the same is true online with more characters logging on and pitching into the threads then I guess the homogenous nature of the debate will dissipate. I'm just not able to keep up with all the debates at the moment, unable to read them let alone contribute. My level zero typing skills combined with a brain that operates at sloth pace means I cannot chip in like some of you without proper jobs (you know, ones where time spent working > time spent on break) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-169458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don?t be so hard on the chap there Ted. In fact men who know the proper etiquette with which to respond to a request from a Dame of the Realm to, ?Smell my finger.? are few and far between these days.

SeanMacGabhann Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I see the tone hasn't got any better in recent weeksNot content with arguing a point in the specific thread, some people feel the need to constantly berate existing forumites with ongoing put-downs in other unrelated threads - Summarised thusly:"Someone disagrees with meI have no argument but I know I'm rightI'll call them names and suggest they only see what they want to seeI want my mummy" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4752-edf-lifecycle/page/3/#findComment-170929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hey, if that was in my direction, the matter is between me, TedMax and the corgi. Butt out, you can have your turn on the ravening beast* later.*I mean the corgi.

Moos Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Pimping? PIMPING? How dare you. If Ted enjoys a little toe-nibbling while exercising a nice corgi on Goose Green (and always cleaning up after it, of course) then that is just a side benefit. It's wholly above board, I assure you. Goodness me, it comes to something when a respectable married woman of unimpeacheable lineage cannot bring together a man and a dog for some happy frolicking without being accused of going around in a fedora and a pink Cadillac. I don't know.*goes off muttering, and counting a roll of soft*Edited to say that I am NOT that dreadful Michael Holybrollyfist.
