Reading some of the comments and replies on the forums from arrogant, sarcastic and condescending individuals is really showing the horrible side to Fab.
What possesses someone with their fanny as a profile picture to ridicule someone's grammar! Knowing the difference between "their" & "There" isnt a major turn on btw.  |

Maybe not to you, but to some it might be.
Personally, I don't tend to engage with people that don't have a decent grasp on the English language as I don't feel that we'd be compatible - if that causes you to think that I'm arrogant and condescending then that's your opinion, and you're perfectly entitled to it  |

Not at all.. Everyone can make their own mind and opinion. But would you feel that because you are not compatible you should then ridicule that person on a public forum? That's the point I'm making what makes a person feel the need to do that to someone who could be dyslexic or have other life issues.
Being an arsehole is a life choice not all people can help it if they are crap at spelling. This is a site for swingers ffs and its overrun with people obsessed with gammer! |

That was a retort! No sarcasm whatsoever. "

Why can't people just be nice and get on with eachother , sarcasm is part of any forums , I'm guilty of it , but it's meant as light humour , not derogatory or condescending,,,, just try and put a little light hearted humour in to theses sad times , people have took offence and I've apologised for that , but wasn't meant to offend , I know people are stressed out and easier offended lately and for that reason I've not really posted in the forums as I'm worried my comments would be taken the wrong way !!!!!   there's more to worry about than silly none important comments ,,,, I have lost my auntie and a very good friend to the virus in the last 2 weeks and now my 18 year old nephew is poorly with it to !!!!

So what's being judgemental about that comment? Its about perspective and context! We are on here for a reason. For us that reason is a long way from ridiculing people. |

Sorry to say, As much as you for thinking that people need an english grammer to be compatable.
Theres plenty of people out there that can speak clear english, But cannot put it into words.
Weather its to do with spelling or being able to use commas or full stops. |

I kind of agree with what your saying. Sometimes people can’t spell or express themselves as good as others and they do get jumped on at time’s. However if you explain and stick to your guns you will be ok. The majority of this forum are good eggs and can see a genuine post, x |

It’s certainly a way for people to express their personalities - if that doesn’t float your boat, then I guess that meet/friendship is not going to happen.

Just to clarify this isn't about something we have experienced but witnessed.
But taking into consideration why we are all on this site..Why would anyone want to ridicule or be an arsehole unless that's all you have in your locker. Again if you are on here for the right reasons which is to attract other people. Then knowing the difference between light hearted banter and being horrible is something you need to learn more than "Grammar"
Just be nice to people and have a laugh this is supposed to be fun x |

Unfortunately, this is the bad side to Fab (Internet) people feel they can say and wmdo what they like over the Internet.
The amount of people who think their opinion is the most important than everyone else is amazing.
Everyone has their opinion. Some agree with their opinion some dont.
But some feel they need to shove I'd down everyone else's throats as they know better.
Trolls that's what they are. People are horrible on the Internet as they sit bhinde the screen saying whatever they line.
Would you say that if the person was standing in front of you? Likely not. Then why say it over the net?
Not because you would be too scared of what this person migh do. But because you would not. So why do it on the net. If not to be a troll.
Some very rude people on here. |

I don’t understand the significance of what a profile picture is of, in your original post.
Why does it matter if someone has their fanny as a profile pic on a swingers site? |

Some people like to feel superior and better than others. There’s a high percentage off people that are dyslexic or on the spectrum whom are highly intelligent, Shakespeare, Darwin, Picasso, Hawkins. |

So if you judge someone for not knowing the difference between there n their you could be making a judgement that’s maybe not true. I get judged for that but I’m dyslexic but that’s not my intelligence level. I have a degree and can hold conversation at a very high level. I talk to doctors and such like on a very highly compatible level and no body would know I’m dyslexic. People judge written word too quickly and make massive assumptions that could be wrong. Obviously not always wrong as some will just be unintelligent but not everyone. |

"Just to clarify this isn't about something we have experienced but witnessed.
But taking into consideration why we are all on this site..Why would anyone want to ridicule or be an arsehole unless that's all you have in your locker. Again if you are on here for the right reasons which is to attract other people. Then knowing the difference between light hearted banter and being horrible is something you need to learn more than "Grammar"
Just be nice to people and have a laugh this is supposed to be fun x
Does being nice to people include people with a fanny pic for an avatar?
No no no. You can not show your foof ever ever. Unless your highly intelligent and completely knowledgable "
We have plenty of fanny pics! Feel free to have a look lol!!
Again, as we have already said. The comment regarding the profile picture was about perspective and context to why we are all here! and the fact that people forget that. It's not to worry about how people spell or to make people feel like crap. |

"Maybe not to you, but to some it might be.
Personally, I don't tend to engage with people that don't have a decent grasp on the English language as I don't feel that we'd be compatible - if that causes you to think that I'm arrogant and condescending then that's your opinion, and you're perfectly entitled to it
Not at all.. Everyone can make their own mind and opinion. But would you feel that because you are not compatible you should then ridicule that person on a public forum? That's the point I'm making what makes a person feel the need to do that to someone who could be dyslexic or have other life issues.
Being an arsehole is a life choice not all people can help it if they are crap at spelling. This is a site for swingers ffs and its overrun with people obsessed with gammer! "
Didn't you just ridicule someone on a public forum? Also used sarcasm.  |

So if you judge someone for not knowing the difference between there n their you could be making a judgement that’s maybe not true. I get judged for that but I’m dyslexic but that’s not my intelligence level. I have a degree and can hold conversation at a very high level. I talk to doctors and such like on a very highly compatible level and no body would know I’m dyslexic. People judge written word too quickly and make massive assumptions that could be wrong.

I dunno, it's a thread about sarcasm and bad spelling so I sort of reserve the right to be a twunt on it sort of thing. ( ps. I hope its going well with you and your friend. And I mean that as well xx) |

What possesses someone with their fanny as a profile picture to ridicule someone's grammar! Knowing the difference between "their" & "There" isnt a major turn on btw.
The spelling and grammar police annoy me and I’ve had this a few times on here. They don’t know the full narrative of a person like if someone is dyslexic like I am. But that’s not a reflection on my intelligence at all. Gets my back up loads
I haven't got any GCSEs...
And I wouldn’t judge you for not having GCSEs. But would you judge me for my failings on their n there many would assume I was unintelligent when in reality that’s so not true.
Would you judge someone for having a fanny pic as their profile pic on here?"
No I don’t make judgements based only on pictures unless they’re outside of what I generally go for in either a female or male. But there’s no right n wrong to that judgement. I either like or don’t like |

I tend to find those who are like this tend to be really insecure about who they are and do this when they feel someone or something is better than them and makes them defensive and aggressive. Shame people feel like that, we're all perfect,flawed and unique and no need to put yourself in competition with other people based on what they have or look like.

It’s so much better understood now. I have dyslexia and I love that it’s becoming so much better accepted.
Schools are in a much better position to support students with SPLD. There’s still a lot of misconceptions around it though, but hopefully in time those will get squashed
And no, you’re right, it doesn’t affect intelligence. Dyslexia can affect anyone |

What has a fanny pic got to do with grammar? Are you suggesting that someone who shows their genitalia has no right to comment on grammar? I fail to see the link |

I’m with you on all that sister as I said before people pull people for spelling and grammar without knowing the full narrative of a person. Add that too the misconceptions of it and boom rule them out as not being intelligent. |

Three times we have clarified the "fanny" comment lol..
Its was to bring perspective to the reason why we are all on this site. If you are posting pictures like such, which we also do, then is grammar really so important or something that you are thinking about so much you need to attack on it. Perspective and context needed. |

Not everyone is able to extend patience to others for whatever reason whose grammar/spelling/ communication is not easily understood. They may just avoid those posts.
Most People want clear communication first and foremost and
to be understood well things must be clear.
That's the majority.
Those who have trouble in that area should not demand to be understood unless others are somehow made aware of their difficulties.
That is because the majority do not have those issues.
I'm not being rude but even s Capital D for Dyslexia or LD for learning difficulties may be appropriate with a first post on an OPs thread or their first post on a thread. Off to the side of their words.
Then it might instill some patience in certain individuals and both parties may learn a thing or two.
People may not like the idea of singling themselves out but I see no other established way around it.
To arrive on the forums automatically thinking I may encounter a dyslexic etc is not what I imagine MOST people think when entering the forums.
BUT if people (generally) tried to treat ALL others with respect then fewer toes would get trodden on.

What even if it comes down to a recognised learning disability like dyslexia?? Dyslexia isn’t linked to lack of intelligence. I’ve already stated I have dyslexia. I have GCSEs. I have a degree. I was studying for a masters. I work for the nhs as a nurse. Me not knowing the difference between there n their doesn’t impact on my excellent patient care. I have an IQ that puts me in the top 1% of the entire planet. But you’ll judge me on my ability to get the spelling n grammar right. It doesn’t matter how many times I get told certain things it just doesn’t sink in. But hey guess I’m just lazy with a poor memory. Which btw is sarcasm against myself. And also not true as I have an eidetic memory |

So theres a 4 year difference between me and yourself.
There was plenty of differences between what you and I was taught at school.
so because I spelt one word wrong its picky In my eyes.
yet I struggle like hell with commas and full stops as i have to use a program for them.
As I was never taught them.
and to be honest I cant be bothered to learn them when I excel at other things instead.
Oh and one of the school exams I was 3 points away from an o level. |

Clear communication doesn't have to be perfect just understandable.
Part of the problem is with those who jump on errors because they disagree with a Thread or post.
Or because they love trouble more than communication.
With some it is just foolish heating but I think it's best to earn that right first.
We are all in a learning process be humble enough to make adjustments. |

Respect is a two way street though and to have respect you also need to acknowledge everyone is different and not to judge someone of there inability to get spelling n grammar right without knowing someone’s narrative. I will also get frustrated when someone slags someone off for spelling n grammar as they make that judgement without knowing if someone had a recognised learning disability. Yes it’s a hidden disability but I’d rather someone assume in the first instance I’m dyslexic rather than making the false assumption I’m thick/lazy/unintelligent |

I dont see the need for a label either. as much as I dont find it appropiate either.
Its about time people excepted other peoples faults at face value and ride above it.
Than be picky with it and have to post about it.

I dont see the need for a label either. as much as I dont find it appropiate either.
Its about time people excepted other peoples faults at face value and ride above it.
Than be picky with it and have to post about it.
or they should read the rules better as its wrote in there about it."
I've learnt something today...I'll read the rules.
I would like to know what is in there on this subject.
Thanks for the pointer. |

Thanks for this. Basically there’s no reason to point out people’s failings in a public forum which I think is what the thread was saying in a roundabout way as a response to people being nasty over it |

But taking into consideration why we are all on this site..Why would anyone want to ridicule or be an arsehole unless that's all you have in your locker. Again if you are on here for the right reasons which is to attract other people. Then knowing the difference between light hearted banter and being horrible is something you need to learn more than "Grammar"

I hear you and you have a point. Unfortunately, people see others as they see themselves. In my opinion which is based on my experiences, those people who adopt sarcasm has something to do with their own insecurity, latent anger and social awkwardness. Being humorous and light hearted is completely different to being sarcastic! |

I think there is a difference between someone saying that a person would need to have a good grasp on grammar for them to interact with them and those that ridicule others. Sometimes they are general comments not aimed at anyone in particular and occasionally not. I do feel there is a difference though.
There isn’t ever anything attractive about people embarrassing others.

I liken it to any family where the grandparents are allowed to say what they like. They may advise or scold, criticise and correct, they usually get the best lines to define the moment.

There's so many variables on this though.
I'm a sarcastic twat most of the time , but never in an offensive way .
Also I know certain forumites I can get away with a bit more because they know I'm only joking .
So I guess it depends on many variables .
Someone could look at a reply in a thread where MightyDong has sarcastically replied to BigBaps ( not real names btw ) and someone could think it's quite rude .
But they may know each other really well and know that it's not taken to seriously.
Just a thought |

So judgemental is ok then OP?
Some might say, condescending.

You're communicating on a forum in text, it's not like you are having a face to face discussion with someone.
We generally give people the benefit of the doubt because we don't known the context when they've said it.

Why are people judging at all.
If someone wants to put fanny pics, that's their choice, you may not like it but that's also your choice
Some people may be dyslexic, or may never have learnt the difference between their/there etc.
I presume no one will be setting grammar exams before they decide whether or not they sleep with someone |

Poor manners , etiquettes and other things like grammar seem to have a marmite response. In some ways they reinforce a class system, inequalities in education and are used to divide us.
In Africa I say “bring me the ashtray”, “get me the cook”, “fix your international card machine” people don’t want victorian bollox they don’t understand they want to be given clear instruction and they want what counts - custom, happy customers, good tips. Try that here in the UK, you’re a cunt.
But grammar nazis can be fun , sometimes, if it offends you just think of it as “there” little mental health issue and lack of emotional intelligence / social skills |

It’s always been that way, and sadly some individuals thinks they run the whole thing with their attitude and low manner, but on the positive side there are lots of good eggs still in here xx |

Not at all.. Everyone can make their own mind and opinion. But would you feel that because you are not compatible you should then ridicule that person on a public forum? That's the point I'm making what makes a person feel the need to do that to someone who could be dyslexic or have other life issues.
Being an arsehole is a life choice not all people can help it if they are crap at spelling. This is a site for swingers ffs and its overrun with people obsessed with gammer! "

I remember starting a thread on a similar subject "snarky and negative comments" awhile back.
On reflection I realised that whilst sometimes it's easy to pick up on an unkind comment; very often it's my interpretation and discourse that can cause the upset.
We all come on here in different moods or emotional states and sometimes read too much into things? And ultimately most comments are made by strangers so why worry?
Let's be honest "Ha ha you look good" as a response to a posted picture, could mean wow you're hot or,... I'm laughing at your flabby love handles and tiny penis ...depends how secure you felt?
