Controversial and personal life thread topics

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

There appears to be more controversial topics and far too many private personal life threads being posted lately and offence being taken by comments made.

Why post to the forum if you are not prepared for honest comments and back lash from other forum members? I know a few of my recent comments have upset some.

Perhaps the OPs should stick to Facebook and Mumsnet.

It's possibly the tone in which people write which can cause some offence.

There's no need to be rude or sarcastic when adding our thoughts or ideas.

It's dead simple you don't like a thread or even the op don't post on it find something or better still post a more interesting thread of your own. If your a newbie are like me you got dropped off by the ark you don't own the forum it's all of ours and up to us to make it the fun place it's supposed to be....

I personally like constructive criticism, that's how people learn, I'm all for people having opinions and offering different views, that's the whole point of posting on a forum. But it's the silly comments that don't contain any advice and are usually just personal digs at the op, there's no purpose for them other than to create discord.

It's a very valid point OP.

For people with such a liberal view on sex many have a very conservative, almost dictatorial on freedom of thought and opinion

If you believe that you don't practice it. Well didn't on the thread about the lad you fancy.

You took offence at every post that challenged your view saying it wasn't constructive. Almost every post was constructive but because it wasn't what you wanted to hear your labelled them as negative

You even resorted to name calling at one stage. How is that constructive?

If only that were true.

Generally people take offence to some level with anyone who disagrees with them.

Also if someone has strong opinions and goes against the majority they are seen as a troublemaker.

Ironically those with opinions that differ from the masses have probably given their view more thought than those who sit and nod.

Not everyone finds every topic interesting and pick and choose where they contribute however if topics are spread out it naturally reduces the volume of replies meaning even interesting subjects can become slow

Some commenters have actually made me leave fab entirely for months at a time. I work in media relations, used to work in politics and I have a very thick skin. It was never their digs at me that made me want to leave, but rather the way they hijacked every thread, poured relentless negativity over everyone and used their intelligence to belittle or dismiss people so that others were either too scared to respond or too angry to respond well.

I love a good debate. Absolutely love it. But their is a way to do it that doesn’t put others’ backs up. We’re all free to have our own opinions and should celebrate it, rather than use it as an excuse to be horrible to or dismissive of others.

Though, I’m sure people have thought I’m a cunt too from time to time.

"One in particular who thinks it makes him look edgy, controversial and funny. But he just makes himself look a cunt. No names mentioned as I’m sure it’s against the rules

This kind of comment perfectly illustrates what stops interesting discussions and debates. Little, not too subtle digs and ad hominem posts are just displays of twuntish behaviour. It puts people off posting again or makes them want to avoid certain topics and posters so you just end up with a sort of odd angry circle jerk with the same few posters debating an issue and using their intelligence in a way that makes some feel uncomfortable and too intimidated to post and join in.

I love a good debate and yeah, I've been a bit twuntish before but now I mainly can't be arsed with it.

What you see as deliberately cunty others see as dry wit.

I accept I'm "guilty" of being a bit sarcastic with some replies but it's never abusive yet a lot of people get offended.

As forum members go, I’m a relative newbie, but I have definitely been put off posting at times as I’ve felt intimidated by others who are obviously more intelligent than me. Now I’m aware that’s my issue, but I’m fairly sure I’m not the only one that feels like that

I’ve also noticed that some posters get away with starting threads and making comments, that if others did, they would get ridiculed and slagged off for being attention seeking/needy/stupid/whatever.

I know dry wit, but the trouble with sarcasm and dry humour is that it is so tricky to catch on to in the written word, unless you’re already familiar with the person and know them to be like that, so know that they are joshing with you and not being a giant turd.

Even some of the more obviously funny posts the humour gets missed. It’s just the Fab way.

I’ve not seen that many of your posts, so I can’t comment on how others have responded to you, but some will get you and others won’t, such is life.

My reference to cunty behaviour was directed to the posters that are deliberately mean, not the posters whose humour gets taken the wrong way.

Good post and fair comments.

Personally I couldn't get offended at anything said on a forum. It may look like i do for the reasons you stated but unless somebody punched me then I don't get offended.

Another issue seems to be some people read what they think is being said rather than what is actually being said.

"There needs to be more controversy on Fab.

There's far to many people (mainly a certain coterie of men) cropping up on all threads posting pointless one line inanities as they think its going to get them a shag.

Its making the forums boring as hell. I like a good debate!"

I really love a good debate too, that's mostly why I use the forum. It doesn't have to be controversial for me, just thought provoking. I quite like hearing others people's opinions and how certain opinions can be challenged.

I'm also open to changing my opinion on certain topics

Definitely, the best threads are when you learn something new

Maybe you should try to ignore that lad who blanked you.

Maybe he'll interact with you eventually "

I'm not going to do any kind of reaction other than how I normally would be with him and that's just having a laugh and a flirt. If I ignore him it would look like I'm bothered or that I have a problem.

I actually saw him today as I was pulling in to Asda, he passed me in the car and waved but I didn't spot him in time so didn't wave back.

I find some of the sycophantic posts somewhat cringeworthy.

I hope I'm not one of those posters referred to on here who put people off joining in. That'd totally defeat the object for me as I'm genuinely interested in hearing other people's views and I'm a firm believer that wisdom can come from anywhere, even the most unexpected sources. At this point, for example, my little 4 yr old boy is teaching me so much about life. If you met me you'd know that I'm just a chatterbox and I love exploring ideas. But I'm the opposite of an intellectual dogmatist. I'm an irreverent questioner

I'm so sorry if I've come across differently from that

I've had numerous time outs due to being too forthright so have regular forum breaks due to the inane, the bitchy, the attention seeking.

Yes there's a lot of drivel on here but not worth getting annoyed about

I don’t think there’s any real controversial threads on here.

Just good examples of certain people trying too hard to appear genuinely controversial

There is one that has just started. I'm not sure why the OP doesn't entitle it, 'Hey look at me".

ello ......... this is me and this is inanity.

Go right ahead and question my sanity.

Open your gob and say no offence meant.

But you know it's you who is high - ly - intell- i - gent.

You hope no one minds that oft you are dead blunt

And it's just out of order to call you a right cunt.

You just needed to point out that others are borin'

You don't want discussion just wankin' n whorin'

So fuck off to anyone who isn't like you

They don't fit your needs and they can't join your crew

You are the captain, the pilot the driver...

It should all go your way cos you spent a BIG fiver.....

If I had come onto the forums as a new user and seen all political threads I'd have left them and not come back.
