Hi Folks,
OT posts don't bother me, overbearing and insensitive attitude does. It's often said regarding OT posts that if we all met in a pub we'd discuss more than whistles and that's true, however I dare say if some of what's been said on the forum was said in a pub you'd get a punch in the mouth
Cheers, Mac

OT RT ST uhhhhhhh sure.
I agree on many aspects. Although it is easy enough to watch for the OT's in the subjects and pass them over, which I think there is at least something to be said for the poster in that respect, I definately agree on the pub analogies that some things that have been said would definately result in a few low D's being wrapped around some peoples heads!
Especially considering that some threads start out being perfectly innocent whistle stuffs that lead into something totally unrelated. Those are about the only things I can truly say really (*!&@ me off! Other than that, I can deal.
Ah, to each their own. What's my one opinion against so many?
Take care all,
John

Three pages in and I'm still waiting for the disagreement to begin. So who exactly are these people who don't like OT threads but somehow can't just pass over them and click on something else? Where are they hiding? Can't they take the heat?
Oh, I get it. They've just figured out what OT means and they're skipping this thread.
What an epiphany! They must feel just as I did when it finally dawned on me that LOL didn't mean 'lots of love.'

What makes you think it only happened once?Bloomfield wrote:Like the time you confessed your ardent and undying love to that cute and sassy woman you met online and asked for a date and she answered "LOL"?Wombat wrote:What an epiphany!

Not to mention the time that cute and sassy woman confessed her undying love and I answered 'LOL'.

Regional, yes, but obviously somebody else's region rather than my own.

Um, Young Mr. Mole is a Brit, so I know what <i>he</i> means when he uses it (or, I guess, what Ms. Townshend means). I'm trying to reconcile that with your post, and it is bringing up ugly images.gonzo914 wrote:Regional, yes, but obviously somebody else's region rather than my own.
