Rename Answerbank??

[Jordyboy9]

I think we should be renaming ANSWERBANK to SNIPING BANK,
Never a day goes by without argument,sniping,and verbal abuse of some kind,ask a question someone will answer,yes that’s what it’s all about,
Then come the faceous smart Alec replies and the sniping starts ,
There are some on here who have been members for years and hold grudges,how can you hold a grudge with someone you have never met?
I am as guilty as the next I took a dislike to 2 members on here and go out of my way now to avoid their posts and don’t want them posting on mine so what does that say about me?but really some of you go to far with your sniping.

Ex militant to me would indicate someone who was once militant, but is no more. Whack sniper at the end of that and boom, we have a description of "Ex militant sniper".

So spath if I have got this right after a while you’re remarks are directed at me,or am I getting this wrong?
Once a sniper but not anymore maybe I am being paranoid,please be more direct

"So spath if I have got this right after a while you’re remarks are directed at me,or am I getting this wrong? "

you're getting it wrong. None of my comments are directed at you.

That suggests we need different members, more than a different site... should more people be banned?
It seems quite natural with humans especially in debating threads, that it might go too far sometimes. Although, I can't be bothered with grudges really- too much effort- there do seem to be a couple that "round on" certain posters. It is just insecurity, really.

Sorry for sounding so stupid but I don’t understand all this about militant sniping,I could play the age card but it’s not that, I just can’t get what you are on about.

It should be called Right Bank, for several reasons ...

[spathiphyllum]

My darling, it was you who mentioned sniping. "SNIPING BANK".

I simply took it and added the word militant. Nothing to be confused about.

[spathiphyllum]

"It should be called Right Bank, for several reasons ..."

That's too far.

It’s quite simple. Not unlike real life in a way. We have some very pleasant, intelligent, kind abers who are a credit to the site. We then have complete morons, idiots, racists and liars. In real life we would ignore them , no contact whatever, it’s easy on AB to ignore the second type.

the cloak of incomprehensibility has saved me more than once

a big child was asked why he was bullying a smaller child and he explained: last year he called me an ignoramus, and I have only just found out what it meant
