I really can't get my head around why people seem to love to fight and argue with each other throughout certain topics within this website. I only have to read a couple of 'up to date' threads and you see constant arguing.
There does appear to be one or two snipers in News i.e. the sort who wouldn't dream of starting a thread/debate of their own about a breaking news topic but hover over the PC, knowing that said story will have a thread started imminently.
At that point they will make their stance known in the most vociferous manner whilst reveling in ridiculing the OP.
Nothing wrong with a good clean scrap with the handbags but the hunting in packs which occasionally happens is sometimes near the knuckle. It is however an unfortunate facet of the human race.
I find that News and Religion are scary places. I very seldom contribute to any of the threads ~ it does seem like lynch mob territory in News sometimes.
I always try and work out from the newspaper articles what 'really' the truth of the story is and tend not to accept the story at face value. I can't understand the anger that people feel towards people that they don't know or minority groups that they nothing about.
But then ~ I am perfect!
And when I don't take my Lithium I am omnipotent.
A word taken the wrong way can usually set the mercury rising. I usually find situations can be resolved on here when offended parties explain themselves in order to diffuse the situation.
