... w4nkers?

I've just joined another forum to get some legal advice and one particular poster (who appears to have been around a bit judging by his high post count) slammed my post and said he hopes I fail in my appeal! What a w4nker.

What is it with some people?

It's on another forum and I'm not one for naming unless it absolutely warrants it.

Same here.

I should add that this isn't some petty b0ll0cks - it's £20000+ worth of issue I'm looking to sort out. Hence numpties with nothing valuable to add can FRO ... hence the rant ...

And good luck with your case

Just suggest that, if he has nothing of value to offer, then he finds himself a nice splintery stick, a nice quiet corner and sodomises himself with it.

I've calmed down now.

There might be a fair few things I'd do for money, but batting for the other side isn't one of them. And no, it's not MSE - I've used it in the past (can't remember what for) and all was well.

Batting for the other side, roadies or cricket.

I know what you mean. There's a post I'd put on here regarding a nurse (who's my missus) & some bother she's been having at work, but I just know some dikwipe will (rack his brain cell &) come up with some sarcy remark!

if it involves nursing, unison legal advice are very good, RCN can offer good advice as well. HTH

As for people being male chicken types for the sake of it, there are male chickens in all walks of life, but more in internet forums it seems. Less here though, as most of the people on here may differ in opinion and politics here, but as a rule, most of us ride bikes, and therefore are good people!

It's funny how obnoxious some people can be when they're not in reach of a good punch in the mouth.

There is a poster on a hifi forum I sometimes visit who is the worst person I've ever come across in every way. He is he most reprehensible, arrogant and odious little shit. I don't go there any more largely because of his presence, it's a shame but there are loads of them out there..

Internet forums are populated almost entirely by idiots. I'm always on here for a start. And I'm an absolute tool!!! If anyone actually paid any notice to anything I said, they need there bloody head testing.

And just one word: Hora 🙂

Yeah, we all know STW has its fair share of c0ckhead comments at times, but IMO there's enough humour and random sh1t going on that you just find something else to crack on with. It's almost like being down the virtual pub ...

To be fair I've found that if genuine advice is sought on here then the answers are generally quite positive and useful. Even had a couple of forumites contact me off-line over stuff rather than post on thread. There are very few *genuine* knobs on here and they tend to be obnoxious rather than funny.

You could do a lot worse than ask on here Spacemonkey.

I oscillate between being a self-obsessed twerp and being quite helpful. Weirdly, I'm never quite sure which category a post falls into until after the event. ❓

Meanwhile: free legal advice off t'internet is 80% crap. Moneysavingexpert and car forums are particularly bad for barroom lawyers cutting and pasting any old crap from anywhere and telling you it's Teh Law.

Well, I don't know why it is, maybe the shared passion for biking, or something, but I find that on this forum, even when there is a pitched battle, and name-calling and teddies thrown into corners, there is still the feeling that at the end of the day everyone would be happy to go to the pub and enjoy each others Real Life company. On another forum I just got banned from, I wouldn't give the other contributors the steam off my piss.

Group hug ...

I suspect it was "shar" as in "sharon"

Then finger dyslexia with the "a" and the "l"

Then a simple phonetic gaff with the "ton" instead of "tan"

Spelling nazis...pfft 🙂

we do get keyboard warriors on here but you often dont realise that poeple know wech oiher in the real world and the banter between them is much worse. I did find it OTT at forst here but then quickly joined in with it. I also agree with project [see anything can happen on here] that I would be willing to say anything I post here to a person face to face but when I know someone the banter is worse as they know you dont mean it etc. You often get useful advice on here and I agree you feel everyone would just go for a ride and have a laugh about stuff and leave it at that rather than have a fight.

When myself and Hora meet in person (as we often do for a creme de menthe of an evening, or afternoon tea and scones) we're a model of polite decorum and practice impeccable manners. We only abuse each other on here.

Isn't that right you screaming, cross-dressing nob-jockey?

It's easy to be abusive on-line. It's funny unexpectedly meeting someone that's been "ard" in real life though 😈

I don't mind disagreement or if I'm not "liked". But I like people to speak/write respectfully, even kindly.

Just express to him how you feel about his post, respectfully.

Spacemonkey, you do realise you have a powerful weapon at your disposal here? A few years ago there was a national survey to decide the "best" invention/discovery in the history of mankind. Guess what won? Penicillin? Electricity? Nope, the bloody bicycle. Why? Someone linked to the survey from this forum.

So, link us up to the thread in question and watch as the STW masses flood the poor bloke with "helpful" messages.
