Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?


It is usually the case that members engage in spirited, often passionate, discussions in threads. That’s normal. Regrettably, often those discussions veer off the tracks, where members are offended or genuinely have their feelings hurt by the content of others’ post(s). 

Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Your thoughts?

Agreed n80!

Music playing threads are the one area where hostilities have remained at cease fire status.

Of course there will always be disagreements even there.

Like I think Amused to Death is a terrible album .... Lol
Totally understand Elizabeth.

Tbh I cannot be bothered to go to such levels.

Once a thread has lost my attention I just unfollow it.
Fair enough.
Was a little surprised as some very normal posts were also deleted.

Oh well,one assumes you know what you are doing......

😇😇😇
Elizabeth.

I assume you are deleting your own posts at length?

Many have been erased from numerous threads.
That is so deep, the temperature rose 3 degrees by time I was done digesting it.
Join the dots here.

The Goodies .... Father Christmas Do Not Touch me.

Monty Python ... The Lumberjack song.

At least a connection to music ... Of sorts.
Well you said it right there ... " officers " 
Say no more,nudge,nudge, wink, wink.

Only British comedy I ever enjoyed was The Young Ones and Red Dwarf.

Tell me they do not tickle yer funny bone!
T.ramey.

For sure you can copy and paste a complete post.

But here is the crazy part.

Maybe somebody only saw your copied/ pasted post and took exception to it and reported it but did not bother to report the original post.
Hence your post got deleted but the original stayed.

It really does not matter the content of a post,if nobody reports it, highly unlikely it would be deleted as mods do not trawl through threads without a very good reason.

As I have said I believe just the action of a post being reported can spell its end if the mod in question does not take the time to fully read the post, the thread and it's entire import and content. Which is highly unlikely to ever happen.
I truly think the Americans found Monty Python way funnier than us darn Brits ever did.

Lol
Teo.

It is quite possibly not the fault of overly aggressive mods.

I have noticed at times, usually weekends, it will only take a post to be reported and it can be gone. Mods do not always completely read a post but just react to the reporting of it and poof!.

I could be wrong and maybe a Mod would correct me. I have seen numerous very good posts deleted when there was nothing in them that fit the guidelines for removal at all. But it’s a free forum so not much you can do about it.
Seems like some here are getting "hurt feelings"

Too funny by half, will say no more as they know who they are.....
Just to clarify I guess.

I have no intention of ever entering a thread with intent to " hurt anybodies feelings".

But.....
If somebody ends up getting upset maybe because not all that was stated was correct well that's unfortunate but it is what it is.

I will pull no punches no matter who it is and expect exactly the same in return.

Sometimes the truth hurts......
