Exploring your psyche

[naomi24]

This question stems from a discussion elsewhere. If you really thoroughly disliked another ABer, and he/she posted a question asking for help on a serious problem, that you were able to provide, would you help them, or would you ignore the question - and what would be your reasons for your decision?

[Mr Veritas]

NO!
There are rude and obnoxious, and agressive people on here,if they want help(and I don't like them) I am afraid they can stew in their own juice.
Sorry if this sounds harsh,but that's me.

[WaldoMcFroog]

There are a couple of people on here who I'd cheerfully let stew in their own juices, if it ever came to it for the simple reason that they've given every impression of being gratuitously unlikeable people who take sadistic pleasure in their unpleasantness to others (current R&S regulars may be assured none of them are included).

[Octavius]

But most people on R&S are irregular.....?

[keyplus90]

I am sure Waldo is not talking about me, I have no doubt. Others may think again.

[WaldoMcFroog]

Talk about paranoid, Skyplus. I said it wasn't any of the current R&S regulars.

Interestingly, a while ago I posted something up about the gym and exercises.

Ward-minter actually said something along the lines of "I know you don't like me, but ...." and gave me some useful advice.

Amazed me.

Although I don't know what sort of relationship you two have, I'm not sure you should be surprised, Vic. I think Ruby's mistaken when she says she assumes the people she doesn't like don't like her. Most people here, I would hope, take AB for what it is - a discussion board. We'll argue about a subject, but then the argument's forgotten and we move on to something else. Hopefully there aren't many who carry a grudge. I don't - and I've had enough run-ins with you - and Ruby. Gosh, if Theland and I carried grudges we'd absolutely hate one another and it would be pistols at ten paces - but in actual fact, we're the best of friends - even though I think his ideas are nuts - and he feels the same about mine! (Incidentally, I'm going to try to get that film you recommended tomorrow).

It's always suggested by health professions that 'irregular' people eat a high fibre diet, plenty of fruits including dried prunes, drink prune juice and lots of water.

[naomi24]

Fascinating! I'm sure everyone will bear that in mind.

[monkeyeyes]

Hiya !

Have tried responding to your pm, but keep getting a string of technical gobbledegook.........

Needless to say - you haven't...........I should have replied earlier. :o)

Have a splendid weekend !

Will attempt to send my original via SAB...................

[naomi24]

Ah, there you are!! If you have a problem, use the alternative.

[bensmum]

I will admit that there are some on AB who really get up my nose but whether that could be called disliking them I don't know. However, if I felt that I could help if they had a problem then yes I would. I will ignore posts from people I feel ambivalent about if the post is just 'chat'.

[flobadob]

People who hate other people probably would be the type that would give a hurtful/smart answer to the hatee's dilemma. What is the point of the hating?

[Theland1]

Thanks Waldo.

[terambulan]

I dont do grudges......I would help even if it is ignored.....for my own satisfaction. AND I like being corrected!

[Ice.Maiden]

If I think that my opinion or advice'd count, then I'd certainly offer it. I don't hate anyone on here, but I HAVE had things sarcastically thrown back in my face, after trying to help. Even so, I'm not an unpleasant person, and the word "hate" doesn't really enter my life. As others've said, there might come a time when I'd really appreciate others' advice - in fact, it happened not so long ago, and everyone was very helpful. I really have no time for unpleasantness or bad manners, and if people don't like me on here, then that's up to them.

[Oneeyedvic]

naomi - the reason I was surprised was because it was Ward Minter - someone who seems to only come on to AB to wind people up.

[Ethel]

I don't even look at the user names.

After all my years here, there is less than 6 names that 'ring a bell' with me, so it really doesn't matter who is asking the question.

[naomi24]

Vic, oh, I see. I know the name, but I've never had any conversation with him.

Incidentally, I got that film you recommended. I'll watch it tonight.

Ethel, that's incredible!
