Guest Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am a pretty relaxed person and see this site as a device to express experiences in nottms past and present. The bump- spelling- snappy police- i find a little disturbing. Someone could post somrthing about: lets say- sherwood rooms- there story or imput could be a superb one which no one else knew or has been forumed before!! To be met with a thread history and a cutting comment is not in the interest of stimulating notts or nostalgia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 #1 I agree with you about the negative effect of cutting comments but I find this a very friendly site. There are so many threads and such a wealth of fascinating detail that if someone points out that a post of mine also relates to another thread I find this helpful as It leads me to other areas of information. I keep delving into the older threads and posts and finding out amazing things. Positive thinking is the key. Just focus on the idea that all of this is fun, friendship and the sharing of very valuable local and social history. Enjoy! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 #1 I understand your point Ian, I agree to an extent. I don't think reference to previous threads should be an issue, after all, the site places great store on it's nostalgic archives. That shouldn't stop new posts developing further. Occasionally though, attendant comment could be a little less... abrupt? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 TBI: you have put it so much better than my clumsy attempt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Cheers Ian, but not a clumsy attempt at all. Just keep being relaxed mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 # 6 Comments #2 & #6 for example, seem abrupt to me, if you're asking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 #8 Yes TBI as they are text message style. Text messages are too often abrupt. A sign of the times, but rather sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks for support folks . I don't want to appear sensitive or controversial but i feel that other peoples feelings and capabilities should be taken into account! The poster could be ill- housebound-or lonely!! Fun i am finding this site , especially as i am a newcomer. But in the interest of tranparancy i had to mention this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I've got a simple answer Ian, I don't comment on topics that don't interest me. In fact, some topics, I don't even read. I think there is something for everyone on this site. As I've said before.... All walks of life, rich, poor, well educated, others not so, all political persuasions and religions, salt of the earth types, and egotists. This is what we fought two world wars for.... Freedom of choice and freedom of speech (within reason of course) Btw, there are topics regarding the Sherwood Rooms. Have a delve matey. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 For myself I can only be nostalgic about Nottingham to a certain extent and if there were no cross-words or banter, what a boring site this would be. Isn't this transparency? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Re #1. I'll tell you what's disturbing, the thought of some camel faced nonentity being in charge of this country in a months time !!!! Sorry, no politics !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Camel faced nonentities have been in charge of many things for many years in many places- this was a non-political broadcast on behalf of the Oompah Brigade. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't comment on topics that don't interest me. In fact, some topics, I don't even read. I think there is something for everyone on this site. Exactly If everybody complained every time something upset them, this would be the most miserable, moaning forum on the internet, populated by a few only-happy-when-they’re-moaning types. If you don’t like something, ignore it and move on to the next thing which you might like. One thing I’ve discovered being a Moderator here is that I’ve improved my ability to accept but dislike things I don’t agree with. Unless it’s downright libellous or rude, I’ll pass it by, even though my first reaction might be to get rid of it. If I wanted, I could delete or hide any post which annoys me (and believe me there are such things). But that would clearly be daft, and unfair. So I’ve mastered the art of noticing-but-ignoring. Maybe I should offer training courses. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Has'nt upset me Cliff . I just thought i'd mention the abrubtness- i think some are dismissive. We live in a democratic way - even on nottstagia. I worked on building sites when you clocked in you left your feelings at the gate!! I'm sticking to subjects i like and my mate Catfan - bulwellians!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ian, I've not noticed much abruptness in the couple of years I've been on here. However, several of us longstanding members have a bit of banter, and the odd "in" joke crops up. Some things I find a trifle crass and stomach churning, but I get over it (eventually) LOL. No two people are exactly the same. Stick with it matey, you'll enjoy it !!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Keep one thing in mind Ian, some comments in print read different to the way they SOUND. So stop Bleddy moaning & gerron we it ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
