Taking this place seriously? Oh God you really didn't just say that did you? It sounds twee, but I have to take you back a few months to the Radio 1 No Bullying campaign, where the very valid point was made that online bullying is plain and simply another form of bullying.

I ask you, what the hell is it inside of you that makes you think that an insult is somehow less of an insult if it's typed onto a message board? You think it's potential to cause hurt is in some way less?

Her posts immediatley after those I've highlighted suggest she was actually offended. Again I'm not saying she's isn't blameless, but you people were just picking on her because of it.

All it does is re-inforce the (Chris Moyles show peddled) stereotype that the guys here are spotty geeky types that are severely lacking in social skills, and so have to say what they'd want to whilst hiding behind a keyboard. I'm sure it isn't true guys, so why try and outwardly give off that impression?

If people step out of line they need a good kicking verbal or otherwise. This has been the case since the conception of time and always will be. So p*ss off and leave us alone you sanctimonious old git.

I have to diagree with you MK. I certainly don't feel like I give that impression. My 1st post to that girl was to tell her that she is going about getting attention the wrong way.

These people bring it on themselves most of the time. If they want to be part of the forum, they shouldn't act like complete idiots that ruin our course of discussion and debate about "the Chris Moyles show".

I cannot stand people making stupid comments and typing txt frmat so i cnnot undastnd wat they r goin on bout. At least they should make an effort to discuss properly and make some hafl-decent contributions.

Anyway MK, if sad people like you stopped all the fun and banter in the world, life would be boring as sh*t. Especially here. I've taken some stick here sometimes, but I will continue to post constructively.

Its not my problem people choose to hide behind a keyboard and become all unsocial that they have to rely on forums.

What the hell are you talking about. I'm no fan of "Jelly Babe", but she is hardly "stepping out of line". What you are talking about is some form of dictatorship.

[donnie]

so if she wan't out of line y all the abuse? at least im being honest you should try it sometime very therapeutic.

[Jelly Babe]

How do you make real songs!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[donnie]

see now this is wot we mean

[fish heads]

There is a difference between being out of line and just plain annoying. Jelly Babe is the latter. Out of line implies something like a policeman being corrupt.

[donnie]

out of line means not conforming. she's not conforming to the rules of the message board by posting complete nonesense.

[Console]

There is no rule about posting utter crap, infact theres an entire section dedicated to it (this one).

[Jelly Babe]

EXACKATERLY!!!!!!!! hmmmmmmmmmmm

[Console]

Of course, as Fish Heads said, there is a difference between being out of line and just being plain annoying.

[donnie]

she can post what she wants but if she annoys people she's got 2 expect a reaction. its actually what she wants she's the biggest attention seeker i've ever known on any message board. its not bullying she loves the attention.

[MC]

she's the biggest attention seeker i've ever known on any message board.

Hmm, you haven't been here long then have you?

The name "Flame" springs to mind.
