Shadzar --------------- Bolding a reply in any colour is considered shouting in forums. I only used Bold when I need to draw attention to certain words or phrases.---------

so while some attitudes may see insulting as joking, i do not. i see it as blatant attack on someone you know nothing about and don\'t know if they care for that garbage.

Shadzar---------------- Then you are missing on one of the most important part of these forums is their intent that we should not take the subjects or ourselves too seriously. (Something which I am often guilty of with certain \"Trigger items\")
Humour, sarcasm, irony and down right \"Mickey taking\" have been and will continue to be a key point of these forums. Without such humerous intent these forums would be Dry, Stale and ultimatley Boring.
So if you find yourself unable to particpate and even occasionaly laugh at yourself sometimes then perhaps these forums are not the medium best suited to you. ----------------

thanks for replying to me in an easier to read format. though i don\'t consider inline replies to a quote that are bolded as shouting jsut another option to colorizing them to reply to the specific points.

it is one thing to laugh at oneself, but another to make fun of someone else.

you can see evidence where i laugh at myself quite often.

but i see no point in just laughing at someone else. that goes over the line towards makign fun of someone rather that poking fun with them.

sterile forums are pretty bland, and humor is good. but humor at the expense of another is wrong. maybe it is seen differently across the pond than here. though i know lots of people that think belitting others makes themselves look better. in the eyes of many they just look like :moon: \'s and degenerates.

I have complaints about them:

(1) Their computers are not interlinked between shops so it\'s a pain to do exchange and return between stores.

(2) Their mail order customer service are either lazy or their computers are so dumb that you need to have a order number or they can\'t see your previous order.

(3) When I need to change a mail order item, they tell me to go to the store and talk to the store manager instead.

I have more...will they take down this site if I post them?
