"Watching the forums last couple days cant help but think that fab is like a pack of wolves at times. I have seen it time after time over the years where newbies have come on the forums and made the crack and generally put themselves out there, while the pack sit in the trees waiting on the wrong move to get their chance to pounce. Now here my experienced head talking guys behind ever fab name is a real person and believe me over the years not many come across the same in real life like they do behind their words here. So next time guys before you type give consideration to the people you talk about and remember face to face they more than likely are completely different charachters. Enjoy the sunshine folks "I would say more like a flock of sheep. playing follow the leader and before they realize it they are up to their necks in the mire. | |||

"You'll find rigorous proofs of the grand fab theories of the universe rolling off the lips of these seasoned posters One poster is going for a Nobel prize for their seminal work on the fab straight theory of everything but is in the stiff completion with groundbreaking social science data on why all single men are bastards...so compelling is the evidence that in fact 9 out of 10 single men agree, in positive deference to the group leaders. " Feck im the odd one out again. | |||

Or just a lot of people that have the same opinion Surely can't all have the same opinion all the time. "Maybe a very wrong opinion as few have thought it through. Jealously and increased popularity brings out the worst in most people who struggle with their own identity. ______________________________ OP Poverbs are only platitudes until you have had personal experience of then. Very likely as few here have shown they can think for themselves. It's a danger as it sets them out from the crowd and therefore can be an easy target from the arrows of those who are shooting without looking at who they are shooting at. Sticking together is safe. | |||

"I was quiet so far over the recent events but as the storm slowly settles, it might be time to put out my own bit of wisdom here: Everyone makes his/her own bed on here. If you seek exposure, you will get exposure. If you dig yourself a hole there's a good chance you will fall into it. If you call others nasty or names, you might not be so nice yourself. If you're respect-less, you will be treated without respect. If you poke the fire it will burn more etcetera etcetera. Fab is not that much different to the 'real' world, it's a little society with rules, dos and don'ts, believes, dramas and crimes. What I'm saying I'm not excusing the drama and sensation licking and the Schadenfreude that was out there but it wasn't a lamb and wolf situation either. Actually the nastiness coming from both sides - after the spectacle was over - was worse than the circus itself. " The nastiness DID come from both sides - except one side don't want to admit it. | |||

I'm my opinion drama doesn't walk into your life, you create it or invite it. I try avoid it at all costs. It's not that difficult. | |||

"Just to get that out of the way I don't attack people, I never have. However I express my opinion and that's what the forum is about. If the person portrays a different personality in chat than in real life, again their own choice. How is anyone supposed to know that and why would you do that? | |||

You can't hear how something is said or see the look on their face and that alters what people think you have written. "...the wording, support of mocking, sly nastiness, jealousy, group herding etc can certainly tell others the tone of which there has been alot of it over the past while and suddenly people become blinded in the attacks. | |||
