"Like-get some new ideas and thoughts. Dislike- people who ask for advice/opinion and then argue against all advice given Ps. How do you know people deliberately misunderstood context?" Good question but when you read it you see it .. like the poster wants to argue or move into other topic by adding in something a bit irrelevant | |||

"What do you like and dislike about forums? I’ll go first Like: learning new things, vast ranges of opinions, ranges of topics, camaraderie, cake threads Dislike: dog piling, ppl who deliberately misunderstand context, ppl who cant keep comments to the forum You next…. 😁 " How can you deliberately misunderstand context? You either get it or you don't! | |||

"What do you like and dislike about forums?

There's certain threads I'd never comment on, as some would see it as an invitation into my inbox. I like the supportive people, who are there for people when struggling and the threads that just make me really laugh. | |||

"Like the variety though lits of threads are not for me but that is fine. Learned and still do a bit as lotscof accumulative knowledge on here in all subjects. Like the light hearted threads as pass the time as a bit of an escape Dislike: any kind if discrimination and abuse. Arrogant and disruptive people though welcome different opinions and civilised debate. The 'trolls'. The inconsiderate posts about those less fortunate in life often based on scewed media reports and extreme examples and propaganda. Dogmatic politics in the lounge. " I like your threads Mb 😊 | |||

"Like: Hearing about socials and club events. Coming across lovely people. Silly threads. Messing about with friends. Dislike: there’s a lot of racists, people who use racist terms, people who are friends with racists and don’t call them out, people who don’t understand racism, people who undermine your experiences with racism. Lots of pick mes. Lots of people who think there’s a clique because you engage with your friends or people you’ve met. People think they can chat to you any how just because they’re on the internet. People don’t seem open to anything that has become popular or enjoyable post 2000. People are SO judgey and kink shamey and monogamous on a forum on a swingers website. People with blank profiles troll. People gossip. People project the fact they weren’t popular in secondary school and use it as reason to dislike other people. I can’t post links to certain social media sites. No gifs. " Oh the Irony...🥪 | |||

Why can't a monogamous person use the site? Surely it should be open to anyone with an interest? There are profiles who are more into the voyerism side, either by camera, meets or visiting swing clubs, both viewing and "performing", just because they are monogamous doesn't mean they should be excluded surely? | |||

I’m talking about people that are judgey about others who are not monogamous. Not people that just live differently. I’m talking about people that make digs at others for their lifestyle choices.

"Like: Nostalgia, sometimes I learn something, occasionally it leads to conversation even a new connection. It can be funny, sometimes even touching. Dislike: It can become a bit unwittingly insular at times, but that's a phenomena everywhere. I take that as an indication that I've had my fill for a while. The whole clique thing makes my eyes roll. As if it's as black and white a topic as there's some evil controlling coven or everyone is a heavenly angel who'd do no wrong and shits golden eggs." I’m not sure it’s a clique but after trying the forums for a while you see the same people interacting on numerous threads and newer posters don’t get the same level (or any in a lot of cases) interaction. So I see how people can see it as clique, I’m prepared for a pile on but it’s just an observation. As people get familiar with others and enjoy their posts then obviously those are going to get on, likewise those people are probably not being deliberately excluding of others but the fact it’s get brought up suggests it not all newcomers being over sensitive. | |||

"One of my all time favourite things on the forums is clicking on a profile to see I've been blocked. Does anyone else get a Jack Nicholson voiceover on that page saying "You can't handle the truth!"?" You know what occasionally I do hear the Jack Nicholson voiceover 🤣. I then laugh at myself for forgetting that my truth is subjective. A few good men, isn't that the moment Tom Cruise gets to him and he admits to sanctioning bullying and abuse of soldiers under his command, on the basis of his beliefs, despite it being illegal? Irony does tend to make me laugh, there's a One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest voiceover that springs to mind. I may watch that tonight, thanks for the inspiration. | |||

The fab forums are always inspired by Jack Nicholson movies.

They needed Anger Management and had to settle for second best because that's As Good As It Gets. They used to rely on Blood and Wine but took The Pledge and are now listed among The Departed. | |||

" Those who demand elevated degrees of respect based on gender, skin colour, sexuality or disability " Whilst acknowledging I’ve only quoted part of this, this was the part that jumped out at me. Demanding elevated degrees of respect? Really? Anyone who’s read me around here may already know I tend to the liberal and inclusive. That said, I honestly can’t think of anyone I’ve read on here demanding an elevated degree of respect. I’ve seen people fighting their corner for issues that matter to them, speaking up for marginalised groups and speaking out against perceived discrimination.

None of us can fully understand the experiences of others. Never. I think it’s human nature to focus on issues which have affected us directly. Personally I don’t think there’s anything to be gained from “my discrimination is worse than yours” which seems to be what happens any time such a topic is raised. It just ends up with bad feeling, people becoming entrenched in their positions, and even less likely to see a different point of view. It becomes a race to trash the other side rather than a discussion. I think of that as being dismissive of others, rather than demanding an elevated degree of respect. Mrs TMN x | |||

Am I expected to respect a woman just because she is a woman and for no other reason or is my respect for her based on her words and actions and how she engages with me and others? Am I to respect a black man or a gay man because of the colour of his skin or his sexuality or because he is a decent human being? Am I to respect someone with a disability for that reason alone or because that respect is mutual? I have seen multiple examples on these forums and irl I hasten to add where sexuality, skin colour, gender or disability have been discussed and debated and weaponised. We can argue over my initial wording but I struggle to show respect for any human being who asks for or demands respect for any of the above while being incapable of reciprocating. | |||

"People that dislike those that post multiple threads in a day, is that everyone that posts multiple threads in a day Or just specific posters you don’t like? " We need people to post threads. In some cases multiple threads. There are some good examples of people that post multiple good threads. There are also some good examples of people that just start threads that are either absolute shit because they are probably needy and need to be heard and others that deliberately bait. Some people have an 'amazing' knack of being able to do both. The Platinum Member ones can do both with one thread. | |||

Highlighting particular differences as a reason to respect someone or not feels like furthering divides, to me. I think we’ll have to agree to disagree here. | |||

Clearly someone wants to make this issue all about them so I won't comment any further, which is a shame as its an interesting and important subject. Thanks for the replies. | |||

That said, I honestly can’t think of anyone I’ve read on here demanding an elevated degree of respect. I’ve seen people fighting their corner for issues that matter to them, speaking up for marginalised groups and speaking out against perceived discrimination. But demanding an elevated degree of respect? I don’t think so. Mrs TMN x I take 'elevated degree of respect' to mean repeated references to alleged discrimination they have suffered while indulging freely in different forms of discrimination against others. I've seen that often. Isn’t that just hypocrisy rather than demanding an elevated degree of respect? The demanding is doing some heavy lifting, for me. As an aside, and I know it wasn’t you who posted the original text, I have never seen an example of anyone demanding an elevated degree of respect based on disability. I can’t even fathom what that would look like. Mrs TMN x I'll ask the questions again that I asked a long time ago on the forums. When someone says they deserve respect, what do they base that on? Am I expected to respect a woman just because she is a woman and for no other reason or is my respect for her based on her words and actions and how she engages with me and others? Am I to respect a black man or a gay man because of the colour of his skin or his sexuality or because he is a decent human being? Am I to respect someone with a disability for that reason alone or because that respect is mutual? I have seen multiple examples on these forums and irl I hasten to add where sexuality, skin colour, gender or disability have been discussed and debated and weaponised. We can argue over my initial wording but I struggle to show respect for any human being who asks for or demands respect for any of the above while being incapable of reciprocating. I start from the standpoint of respecting everybody. I may disagree with them. I may not understand them. I may dislike them. And that’s down to individuals. Whatever protected characteristics they have makes no difference to me. That doesn’t enter my equation of respecting another person. Highlighting particular differences as a reason to respect someone or not feels like furthering divides, to me. I think we’ll have to agree to disagree here." We don't disagree at all. My standpoint is exactly like yours. My point is that I'm not the one highlighting the differences. That comes from the individuals themselves. Hence my elevated respect comment. | |||

"I feel like some people have hijacked this thread for their own personal agendas + grudges. It makes for uncomfortable reading, verging on bullying. " Yeah, considering the forums literally consist of the opinions of others, it's much a case of liking and disliking them because of the people who contribute so any negatives are going to look like a not-so-sly dig. | |||

" Most discrimination in the forum is based on gender and a person's position in the pecking order according to those to post the most and have the cheerleaders to back them up. It's not a clique, it's a hooting gallery that enjoys mocking for it's own sake. It's a derisive miniature cabal of parrots. A storm of boos. A cacophony of jeers. It's a little mob. And like any mob it's really only as smart as it's dumbest member. It is, quite literally, a race to the bottom. " Very well said 👏 | |||

Clearly someone wants to make this issue all about them so I won't comment any further, which is a shame as its an interesting and important subject. Thanks for the replies." That’s the pertinent issue to you. I don’t think somebody talking about how they’ve been discriminated against means they are an angel and should be afforded elevated respect. But neither do I think their protected characteristic, as listed by the poster I originally quoted, should be any part of the discussion about why you may not like them or their behaviour. The rules of the forum which mean that people cannot name other individuals publicly means that some people refer to groups or particular characteristics in order to air their personal dislikes. That makes me feel very uncomfortable. | |||

Ahhhh yes, likes...light hearted threads. It can be entertaining and it's also interesting to see people's different characters.
Dislikes...can't really think of much I don't like, but then it's not that often I interact these days. I guess threads that become too deep.
I'm heading off to find a light hearted thread.

"What do you like and dislike about forums? I’ll go first Like: learning new things, vast ranges of opinions, ranges of topics, camaraderie, cake threads Dislike: dog piling, ppl who deliberately misunderstand context, ppl who cant keep comments to the forum You next…. 😁 " Like: variety of topics, you can always learn something new Dislike: the politics and virus forums, people asking for health advice on a swingers forum, entitled people. | |||
