The internet is a funny old thing and it`s amazing how people can have such strong reactions to it. Social media such as facebook and forums such as this are a platform for spewing out lots of positive and negative reactions. One of the phrases I regularly see is " well you wouldn`t say it to their face " and that`s the whole point of it, people don`t have to say anything to anybody`s face but the other side of the coin is, people don`t have to read it either.
Last night I saw a grown woman throw a childish wobbler on a facebook group, effing and jeffing like an Irish navvy and all because people either rarely posted so were therefore branded as lurkers or because they didn`t click the "like" tab on someone`s thread. Today hardly anybody has posted on that group because her actions have left such a bad taste.
This thread has had it`s highs and lows, has gone off tangent and people have bounced agreements and disagreements back and forth and apart from one or two people threatening to leave or stop posting ( hopefully temporarily or preferably they`ll change their minds ) we still keep posting, talking and yes at times, arguing or disagreeing. No doubt tomorrow or the day after or the week after, another thread will cause the same responses but it`s who we are, what we are and the forum still keeps rumbling on. Strong people with strong opinions on a strong forum. The Yin and Yang of all things QVC plus the price of eggs and anything else we can think of !
