Just waking up this morning and seeing last night's forum antics, I really think people need to put themselves in the other person's shoes.

Whatever happened to be kind?

To use the old forum term "you know who you are".

Everyone has heightened emotions atm, you never know someone's emotional well being.

Says a lot about you how you post on here.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

It’s a difficult one. I had similar yesterday where I was having a bit of banter with a friend and for some reason someone I didn’t even know took it as a pop at them. Therefore making me look bad and I had done nothing at all! It can be quite upsetting and I’ve got a pretty thick skin on here usually. What happened last night was unfortunate but I do believe some of those people who started the later threads hadn’t seen the original one but nobody seems to have taken that into consideration hence they are now looking like the bad guys like I was which is equally unfair.

It’s an online forum where people can do as they please, and we have admin to stop those who cross a line.

If people want to make 100 versions of a thread that’s their choice, and people need stop trying police things and getting offended on behalf of others.

If I put a post up and I ask for opinions, I would expect some of them to be negative, because... yano: honesty, humans, trolls...

Be kind is a lovely concept, but so unrealistic!

Otherwise history wouldn’t be full of such horrific tragedies because we could all stomp our feet shouting be kind and it’s unfair.

And we’ll ever new thread, every new comment that discuss this matter, quite simply is keeping this topic going longer and stopping it being forgotten.

If so bothered everyone all should have reported it, they would have been down in a flash then. Not lingering around.

I hope those that participated in last nights ridiculing of someone who asked a genuine question and may have already been quite vulnerable, have a good hard think about their actions and what could possibly result from it.

This forum degenerated into playground bullying at one point, which is completely unacceptable.

Malicious or not, it should not have occurred and those involved have actually shocked me with their thoughtlessness.

Be kind

Didn't see what happened but I suspect pack mentality, yes?

One person attempts a 'funny' retort and others jump on board and completely detail thd thread?

In response to someone saying that admin/mods should be the ones sorting it out, of course they have ultimate say but I think as a community we have a responsibility to call out unwanted behaviours as well.

Mods are volunteer site users and are not around 24/7. We should be able to challenge appropriately (perhaps that's where the problem is) inside reporting threads or comments for breaking site rules.

I agree with what you’re saying about people being affected by this last year, far more than most will admit and far more than anyone can tell right now.

In terms of being kind, yes that important, it’s also important to be honest, to be true to yourself and if someone is unkind, to defend yourself.

I’ve found myself in the position of being ‘attacked’ far more recently, having my motives questioned and my comments twisted. My honest and true reaction was to defend myself.

Perhaps instead of “be kind” the phrase should be “be an adult” and talk things through quietly with those that irk you?

None of us know what anyone else is going through, perhaps letting a person know when they’ve crossed your line would be better?

Being kind is a two way street and I’ve often found it thrown out by people who have taken the first unkind step or misinterpreted a post, ascribed their own tone and meaning to words that they misread.

It’s a reality that people who are struggling lash out as well.

In all honesty, I don’t know what the answer is but I generally find that asking people to be kind is a nice sentiment with little weight behind it and even less action followed through

I agree with this. The mood on Forum yesterday seemed quite tense and wild and I thought most of the threads referred to were a late night attempt to lighten the mood and certainly not aimed at any individual. I joined in with one of them and honestly don't feel I have anything to apologise for, but I respect the opposite opinion.

I don’t necessarily agree.

People tend to see thread titles, only read a few responses (because; effort) then post their own thread.

It’s often not that people are mocking but a reflection, reaction or pastiche of the original thread.

Ascribing intent to these kinds of threads is only adding to the furore

See I disagree with this. At least one was created because essentially deep down they probably felt the same as the lady in question.

I didn’t read all of them, because it started to clog up the forum so I logged off. Last time that happened Mods came in and deleted all and told everyone to stop creating those threads, and I know they are not online 24/7 but essentially they are the ones that other folk take notice off. Because they wield powers.

These threads just prolong the matter and cause bad feeling. I know they are meant well.

If enough folk ignored or just reported them then they would quietly die. But they don’t do they, because folk love the drama.

And yet by the very nature of this post you're casting a stone on those who posted on particular threads and not particularly being kind or understanding of someone's emotional wellbeing at the moment.

This isn't a particularly nice thread, it's clearly targeted and yet you've posted it. You can private message the OPs to discuss it with them? The irony is something else.

The threads were clearly an attempt to lighten the mood - how do you know they were based on the OP? They might not have necessarily been satire of the original thread, more that people agreed or were doing an experiment to see how people would post in response to different genders. We all have different ways of interpreting it.

This thread is also providing that people have different opinions on what is or isn't acceptable - which is what happens in any group of people

I didn't personally think there was anything especially untoward in the original thread last night - a few comments meant to to be more light hearted than others maybe, but that happens on any thread. Especially if they really take off

And, as was pointed out at the time, if it had been a man who'd started the thread they'd have had a very different response. Be kind seems to apply differently according to the OPs gender, which is another example of double standards on here but that's an entirely separate debate

True. I wrote this before u had looked at any of the threads and can see that on the first thread all responses were supportive of the op.

That being said surely others can see that having a swathe of threads started with pretty much the same title and theme comes across as taking the piss out of them. I'd like to give the forums some credit for that amount of intelligence at least!

Sincere apologies it was not my intention to cause pain. Any if you who know me know that is simply not my style and is unlikely ever to be.

Secret hideaway in the pennines

It is easy to feel left out or unwanted or ignored, some people find it hard to stand out and get lost in the multiple directions that some threads take.

Does it bother me, sometimes yes, I know I am physically, not the most fanciable person on here, but I join in, I will pm people, I have sent the person in question a few PMS, some she has responded to, some she hasn't, but that is the same across the site in general.

Maybe I am too much of a gentleman, and maybe I am too nice, but that is me, how I was brought up, it is nice to be nice, it is right to consider other people's feelings, none of us really know what is going on in each others lives, what crap they are dealing with on a day to day basis. For a lot of us at the moment, the forums will be the most social contact we actually make with the outside world.

I had a blowout with someone a few days ago for a flippant comment he made on a post, and let fly with both barrels, because he caught me at a emotional time because of the nature of the thread, so I totally agree with if you can't say anything constructive or nice, dont say anything ag all

It's all assumptions and theories on both 'sides'. The op on the original thread commented on how the other threads made her feel so despite the 'innocent' intentions of others they clearly were not received by all. Why can't they be challenged? Why can't people point out that sometimes lightening the mood isn't the result no matter how good the intention was?

No one will come to a concensus on this and perhaps that's down to previous forum experience. If you've never felt put down or ridiculed or picked on then you won't understand how that feels and won't react the same when you see it happen to others, no matter if it was intended or not.

The irony of an unpopular thread becoming popular

I thought it was a genius idea, that one, Noochie, although my attempt at carrying it on got left behind in favour of an alternative one by a more popular forumite

Most of my threads die these days, meaning I'm obviously even less popular than I thought....

I'm probably going to live to regret this but when I posted my thread I had no intention of upsetting or taking the piss out of the original thread in fact I even started the thread by giving a compliment to the original OP of the first thread calling her sexy and wholr heartedly meaning it. I didn't know others would also do threads and I admitted on my thread that perhaps it was ill judged. If I have caused any upset or distress to anyone I apologise unreservedly id never intentionally upset anyone. I hope now that these thread are left to drop off the forums and left alone and I hope the original OP of the first thread knows that she is both respected and highly thought of by myself and I'm sure others on fab

"I've since searched the forum. I had not seen the original thread where the lady posed the question.

When I made mine I was genuinely just banter posting to try to lighten what felt like a negative day on there.

Sincere apologies it was not my intention to cause pain. Any if you who know me know that is simply not my style and is unlikely ever to be.

Again apologies to original thread lady.

I did not intend to hurt or take the piss. My intent was, as always simply to make folk smile x

Which is what I’ve been trying to say all morning! But seem to have been ignored. Is that because I’m right and people won’t admit it or they’re too busy with their pitchforks!

It's all assumptions and theories on both 'sides'. The op on the original thread commented on how the other threads made her feel so despite the 'innocent' intentions of others they clearly were not received by all. Why can't they be challenged? Why can't people point out that sometimes lightening the mood isn't the result no matter how good the intention was?

No one will come to a concensus on this and perhaps that's down to previous forum experience. If you've never felt put down or ridiculed or picked on then you won't understand how that feels and won't react the same when you see it happen to others, no matter if it was intended or not.

"

I have many times! As I mentioned before.

I don’t see how it’s fair at all though to lay into people who hadn’t seen the original thread! I honestly can’t see how people can’t understand this.

For those who didnt see the original thread......fair enough.

Far more are saying this than is true aswell though.

For those who DID see the original thread, and the point where the OP said that people were mocking her, then you deserve to be called out.

Why would you do something like that?

Why would I inbox someone when it was a public shitshow.

I will publically defend anyone I felt was being bullied like that.

If you don't like me for that, theb so be it. Do I care? Absolutely not.

I think 'laying in to' is a tad strong and actually I've seen several comments from prole saying that if the subsequent threads were started by those who hadn't seen the original thread then they apologised.

In fact for those of us who did not see it happen at the time there was no reference to any threads at all. People came on here and willingly put their heads above the parapet by saying it was about their threads.

I watched it all unfold last night, the woman who made the original post was genuinely upset about it all and I really hope she hasn't left for good and is ok, she opened up and had plenty of support (on her thread) just a shame that grown adults had to then mock the original. Hopefully the admins remove all the threads to do with this.

This doesn’t help either. Who is the clique and hierarchy? People who get involved in threads and try and make the place fun? I like you but I read that thread yesterday and to be perfectly honest it was your comments I wasn’t at all comfortable with.

I’m so sad at what the forum has become.

Personally I found what I seen of the threads to be likened to high school mentality, this is supposed to be a place for escapism and a site for sexually liberated people, we all have differing opinions but we should think more wisely about how we deliver them, there is zero tone to txt and things can be misconstrued.

I think people should be allowed to speak there own mind but never in a deliberate attempt to undermine someone else. There are thousands of people on here and yes some people are more active in the forums and then tarred with the ‘popular’ label, I’m of the opinion you are simply more recognisable if you spend more time on the forums, we all have something to offer. It’s not a should never be a case of being in a clique or gang - were all adults here and should be able to respect each other.

Good morning.

I’m not sitting on a high horse in judgment. Merely stating what I observed, yesterday, as someone rather new to the Forum.

I have never experienced bullying, nastiness and meanness as I had seen and experienced yesterday. Perhaps I live in a very sheltered world. Even before the shenanigans of last night, I had faced some meanness off a thread earlier in the day.

I had asked someone politely, respectfully and diplomatically, by private message, to do the decent thing and desist from publicly bullying and throwing abuse about someone they do not know personally. Some of us are here for the distraction it gives to our very real issues in the real world. We may behave here in ways that we wouldn’t dream of doing offline.

Their reply was sarcastic, rude and uncalled for. I disengaged from them as it was clearly an exercise in futility. I have ignored further messages from them.

To abuse in ignorance is excusable. To persist with some facts in hand is utterly reprehensible, disgusting and unforgivable.

For those who wish to sit in judgement of what I have said, have at it. I shan’t retort.

A comment was made on the original thread regarding the difference in empathy when a man post a similar thread compared to when a woman does .

Which is a valid point as men get shot down by both genders when they do .

Anyway the OP's reply to that comment was "oi go and get your own thread" which he did.

And of course some people had no issue letting him know why they didn't find him fanciable .

So it seems to me that "be kind" only applies to women , men's feelings aren't as valid .

I'm not only referring to that thread , generally the less confident or attractive or witty even just newish guys gets a harsher deal. And mostly no one bats an eyelid when a man is on the receiving hand.

I gess my point is be supportive of anyone struggling regardless of whether they have a vag or a cock .

Anyway the OP's reply to that comment was "oi go and get your own thread" which he did.

I commented on all the "jokey" threads.

Gender or friendship status played no part.

The mod has pulled them all now and made a note on the original thread now though, which I think fits perfectly, and this will be the last I say on it.

Hear! Hear! I read that thread as well and made a comment at the end of it.

The harsher replies were considered acceptable and he should take it like a man. A woman would not have been told the same sentiments by a man lest he be skinned alive and tossed into the darkest depths of hell to burn for eternity

I wasn’t on the forums all day yesterday and it’s actually quite upsetting to hear what has happened. It costs nothing to be kind

I saw Ivy. You, Sophie and very few others were swimming against the tide. Only people like you could have got out alive. It was good to see.

Although i personally do always try to be kind you do risk when posting on a public forum a huge range of responses. I would suggest if you are feeling fragile that you instead reach out to a friend.

I made (or at least tried to make) this exact point in my earlier comment on this thread, but it seems to have been completely ignored.

But life on the forum does seem to ebb and flow like that,in that same days you're more popular than others

"The moral arbiters of the forums are busy this morning

Its sad to mocking of people who are simply asking us all to be kind to each other.

Cause everything is that binary and there’s no place for nuance.

I guess we are lucky to have such educated people on here who can help us binary thickies and our simplistic requests for people to be nice to each other "

Your sarcastic tone and mocking laughter has hurt my feelings!

Please #BeKind

Now, do you see how it’s not binary ?

"The popular Forumites seem to be able to take the piss out of anybody and get away with it. And the newish people get ripped into and scared off. It's a recurring pattern, had been for years. I'm saddened at how mean people can be here "

Couldn't agree more.

I would suggest that the sarcasm started with your original post. Your binary comment could also be seen as unkind to peoples intelligence.

So yes... lets stop and be nice to each other. Love you
