20 Jul 01 - 02:47 PM (#511352) Subject: GREAT SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From: John MacKenzie I think Mudcat is a great site and it is the only one in many years of surfing that I have ever logged into every time I am on line. It saddens me to see the mud slinging creeping in the net equivilent of the bucketmouth nerds on CB radio, which is why I gave that up many years ago. PLEASE PLEASE don't respond to these juvenile idiots; preserve a dignified silence, remember children only make trouble to attract attention. Jock |

Only to come home with a bit of shit on your shoes. Remember the GOOD times forget the BAD. Above All, if sounds stupid don't even Click on it. Maybe I miss some good stuff here, in general though, I don't even understand what the Hell is going on when I accidentaly get to read the crap. JohnB |

From: Hawker Hear hear, ignoring is the best thing, but sometimes I am just tempted to respond, the temptation to ignore and not even read syndrome alsmost stopped me reading this, with all the exclaimation marks, I tought the writer was sure to be named GUEST! Good on you Giok, and thanks for the vote of confidence! You will I am sure always find friends here and people ready to help you with your dilemmas whatever the subject, I always have, I have not always agreed with their comments, but I have never taken offence and occasionally they have led me to change my opinion on a matter. Freedom of speech is a great thing, I am happy to let people have their say, whatever the subject, and in doing so, accept that this will always leave us open to some pratt trying to prove what a dickhead they really are! You can't please all of the people all of the time, there IS room in this world for all of us, granted I haven't as yet been personally attacked but Sticks and stones...... I rest my case, Thanks to the good guys I'm still here and don't intend to be posting my goodbyes! Lucy |

From: paddymac Seems what might be useful would be the cyber equivalent of a well shot bird while passing by, leaving no opportunity to respond. Since we're unable to do such an entirely appropriate thing via the 'cat, perhaps a simple mental bird might at least offer some consolation. :>) |

If I get into one of those threads by accident I just sneak away and don't open it again. If something nasty develops in a thread I contribute to I try to ignore it, or make a joke. I'm not here for those unpleasant threads, but I won't be kept away by them either. |
