Fear Of Commenting on Forums
Jump to: Newest in thread
But then I started thinking back to when I initially joined FAB, commented on the forum to have two women nit-pick what I said with a gallant white-knight thrown in for good measure to contend with  Wasn't a nice start, but since then, I've grown a solid cast iron chin 
Now, I was wondering if anyone ever feels or has felt a little apprehensive or even fearful about commenting on a thread or forum??? C'mon be honest here  ...

"I have numerous times if I'm honest, not say this board is like this but some forums are a tad clicky " --------------- Clicky is the right word and that's exactly how I found it myself initially. Would be good just to get some honest opinions off any newbies here. Big chance to get things off your chest here! Metaphorically ... | |||

"Rarely post due to that fact. Many times I write a comment and delete before posting. I don't find forums too friendly and welcoming. Unless you always want to put a shining armour on and ride on a white horse... that kind of a thing. " ------------- Well, fairplay to you for being straight up. Am sure there's a lot more lads in the same boat, who want to say something or crack a joke but fear the possible backlash and the noble white-donkey... I mean knight thrown in the mix afterwards. Well done man | |||

"Yes I have felt the fear...but posted anyway. Some very nasty women that didn't like my comments, decided, not just to disagree, which is their prerogative, but to slate my profile and my paltry verifications. Imo its those types that are all that are wrong about FAB. " --------------- Had parts of my profile quoted back to me as a taunt like "Ohhh Mr Break your bed and not your heart" etc... I let that go, but decided to joust the alpha White-knight off his horse. He ended up a stableboy shortly afterwards 
But knocking a profile and veris sounds petty. Hope you're getting better treatment these days | |||

But you can be lied about, your character blackened and have to leave fab due to these people. When a good friend you have met of here is told by a woman that she wouldnt meet him cause he has met me....as I'm bad news as I have done the above...well that says it all. A majority of my real friends on here told me to stay and not let them win again but its not worth the agro of feeling you are being discussed and blocked by strangers. They also said to name and shame as the so called click gets away with such behaviour far too much but I cant as I dont know who started this about me!.

"I shouldn't be replying as I've had a few (again!!). Post and be damned but fuck them. As long as you are posting your opinion about the thread, its valid, if it's your genuine opinion. A joke is OK as long as it doesn't take thread off topic and you put some sort of emoji at end so people don't think it's a serious comment, as that's what often derails threads, when your comments are not seen in context. I may also be one of the White Knights but only if I feel a thread has gotten to a disrespectful stage or targeting of a specific poster. I will defend people if others are being abusive, regardless of their gender. Live and let live. Respect everyone's right to their opinion and the world is a happier place."

My interpretation anyway... If someone on the Forum is getting ridiculed or torn asunder for no valid reason, some of us would jump in. Is that being a "white knight" too or just standing up for someone? Am genuinely curious ... | |||

"If people are too sensitive to post their opinions on a forum, how do they handle rejection? I can't imagine very well. " ----------- Getting your sent message "deleted" is hardly rejection really!
Fear of ridiculed in a public forum is hardly being "sensitive"...as no one wants to look a fool or front of other Fabbers here...

I would hate to think that newbies have to contend with that nonsense still especially guys who are getting onto the forums to get more well known, especially as a single guy's profile can be a quiet & lonely place for any guy starting on FAB. First time I started a thread on the forums. I was made a joke out of by some we'll knowing forum user's. I told them they made a big mistake and believe me they soon found out just how big a mistake they had made. I never let bullies win.
Well that doesn't sound weird or disturbing. ?
I was being sarcastic. "No problem. | |||

"Is there really all this drama on threads as I havnt seen any yet or maybe I'm just oblivious to it lol. Also I don't give fuck what people think so didn't have any worries about commenting and starting my own threads most of which been popular as people be commenting days after I've put them up lol

I know... You're a legend on the forums. Some great ones too!"thanks mate I'm enjoying your thread here as didn't know this kinda stuff went on tho I'm only here a month lol | |||

"It's not a fear of the white knights, or the girls who will drag an argument out of someone. It's the fact it will probably get them banned and not the white knight. You can get a meet a week without ever commenting on here, why risk a ban, or an argument, or whatnot.

Gent A makes a comment then Gent B fires some sarcasm without anything to back it up with.. What happens next is that a provoker usually steps in with "I'm gonna get the popcorn and stand back [smiley emoji]... and that only fires things up more... | |||

"If people are too sensitive to post their opinions on a forum, how do they handle rejection? I can't imagine very well. ----------- Getting your sent message "deleted" is hardly rejection really!
Fear of ridiculed in a public forum is hardly being "sensitive"...as no one wants to look a fool or front of other Fabbers here...

"IMO the bullying term is thrown around a little too readily. For every perceived clique, there are some members going out of their way to try bring them down, which has already pretty much been admitted to already on this thread. There's groups of members that know and have met eachother, of course they're gonna have inside jokes and back eachother up, nothing really can be done about that! And that's from a member that normally gets ignored on the threads! " -------- Well, you won't be ignored on this thread. Thanks man! | |||

"Good thread Tim. I think newbies should definitely be able to realise that some people are friends for over 5 years here, and along with the threads been repetitive on a daily basis, it may be hard or even mind numbing to comment back to newbies. I've only ever seen about 5 people be mean and just come on to literally troll. I don't think there is a clique, they're good mates and I do notice the "clique" members do reply and have banter with loads of people but they definitely dont ignore or be mean to people, or else they'd be on their own. Just people been a little oversensitive " ------------- Am really just giving any FAB Forum newbies or reluctant FAB posters a platform here to express themselves here without any judgement...

I think newbies should definitely be able to realise that some people are friends for over 5 years here, and along with the threads been repetitive on a daily basis, it may be hard or even mind numbing to comment back to newbies. I've only ever seen about 5 people be mean and just come on to literally troll. I don't think there is a clique, they're good mates and I do notice the "clique" members do reply and have banter with loads of people but they definitely dont ignore or be mean to people, or else they'd be on their own. Just people been a little oversensitive ------------- Am really just giving any FAB Forum newbies or reluctant FAB posters a platform here to express themselves here without any judgement... Experienced Fabbers can get another perspective too. Thanks Ronan "Great thread, interesting view points from all | |||

"IMO the bullying term is thrown around a little too readily. For every perceived clique, there are some members going out of their way to try bring them down, which has already pretty much been admitted to already on this thread. There's groups of members that know and have met eachother, of course they're gonna have inside jokes and back eachother up, nothing really can be done about that! And that's from a member that normally gets ignored on the threads! " Well said. I might add that you need to develop a bit of a thick skin on here in one way or another. Fab isn't for the faint hearted as there's not only the forum issues discussed there also is plenty of ignorance, rudeness, abuse, rejection etc. It's recommendable not to take some stuff too seriously and with some humour. And eventually treat people how you like to be treated yourself. | |||

"Good thread OP. I haven't been engaging on the forum much cos my fab time is limited due to other off fab priorities. " More should get some off fab activities. Only groups I see here are ppl who live on forums talking shite to strangers while real life must be passing them by | |||

I find the forum to be a useful tool on a number of levels, I should add not all easy my mindset is very much, everyone has something to offer me, and I have learned quite a lot about myself and human behaviour through the forums, like most I have my own character, little battered and bruised throughout life, but hey it makes me who I am, whether you like me or not. I see people as just having their own styles of communication, and no different to family dynamics, and the various roles we take up, whether it be the joker or the hero etc, inherently good self esteem, and for some, not so good esteem, not really any different to life. And everyone has a place in like and on here if they so choose. | |||

"Lately, I'm finding a few people pm me with a funny response, question or view to a comment I made on the forum. I've no problem with that, so all good there
But then I started thinking back to when I initially joined FAB, commented on the forum to have two women nit-pick what I said with a gallant white-knight thrown in for good measure to contend with Wasn't a nice start, but since then, I've grown a solid cast iron chin
Now, I was wondering if anyone ever feels or has felt a little apprehensive or even fearful about commenting on a thread or forum??? C'mon be honest here ...
btw Newbies are extra welcome to comment here ..."I couldn't be arsed worrying about others you aint ever gona please everyone. Those lads on the steeds need to accept its not gona get them laid though | |||

"Good thread OP. I haven't been engaging on the forum much cos my fab time is limited due to other off fab priorities. I do think it is daunting but I think if people post their opinions in a non personal way. Can have a difference of opinion and can express that without being aggressive and not attacking the other poster. And it doesn't bother me repetitive posts because to that poster the topic is important Respect goes a long way on here "------------- I agree with you in that respect does go a long way. A person can also have fun, be themselves, be a bit charming and cheeky too without having to personally insult another Fabber here | |||

By calling someone a "conspiracy nut" for asking a what-if question; "a troll" for pushing the boat out a little or a "white knight" because he (/she??) is taking a stand about something, puts a label on a person
And I think that fear of being given a label can also scare some people off from commenting on the forums at all...

"Ah sure I remember when new on here first I only read the forum threads, then after a while posted the odd comment and yes sometimes had the feeling that my posts got ignored but I think it's more a newbie perception rather than anything else. it's a fact that you won't get a reply each time you post. Yes I also had the perception that there's a clique, that everyone knows everyone which isn't actually the case. Some do know each other alright from parties/m&g but most people only know the 'forum personae' and have never met each other. In other words by reading and posting on the forum you get to know other posters and your replies will get more character specific or you might have some running gags etc that might give a newbie the perception that there's a clique. It's actually easy enough to tune in here once you get your head around this. " Well said | |||

"...along with trump supporters.
Dafuq? The Donald rocks and when he rules the world you'll regret your hatred of the great man.
No accounting for taste. I have it and you and him.....don't. but that's thread full of shitposts for another day.
sound I'll run down to the sweet shop and stock up for next time nothing like a good store of candy to help with the taste
I have great taste in candy. I'd be happy to recommend something to broaden your pallet and open your mind.
well the euro pallet is 1200x800 so I guess that is plenty broad but not quite deep enough so perhaps I could try the UK standard pallet which is 1200x100 instead I know technically it's not "broadening" my pallet but it is making the overall surface area larger. But in saying all of this I really hope you meant pallet and not palate as boy would I feel silly for going through all of this otherwise my old friends
We'll jaysus that's me told. I'm so embarrassed.
no need to be you probably did mean pallet and I got the wrong idea must be a Trump thing
No it was a genuine inexcusable typo. Not even autocorrect caught it. I'm so ashamed. Ms G is a foodie and I'll never live it down.
But hey, I'll get over it. Unlike republicans and Hillary's emails....amirite?? "or the leftists and Trump WINNING the presidency | |||
