Why not post this on the 'Other non-cleaning related topics' section of the forum?

I couldnt agree more, i dont tend to bother reading any negative posts "this has gone wrong" etc etc.

It just brings you down, id much prefer to see someone doing well and showing us what theyve achieved.

I'm not so sure.  If someone posts about something that goes wrong, it can warn me to avoid making a similar mistake.  What I do like is when someone posts "this is what went wrong AND THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT"

The problem in England today there is not much respect for each other.This being  evident on this forum.
What then happens you get dragged in to play the rude game or you walk away and find your forum needs else where. Its a shame.

Pete ............ some people need to vent .......... maybe missus not interested or no missus or mates to vent to so they come on here and vent ....... may come across as being negative but were all human on here ..... I think ?  ;)

Others like to take pea outta one another and some post remarks just to wind up others that take the bait just take a look at some exchanges between Hydro and others on one of my postings called "can you call before you come next time"   http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=153075.0

For example if I wanted to take pea outta of you I would ask if you had bullying issues at school  ;) ;)

You just tune in, sit back and enjoy ......... having a thick skin does help though.

There are few that go not suffer fools. Must most is in jest and the few that mean it don't give anything to the forum , just take as there may well be people that do not post as they feel they may be put down or laughed at.

How am i to know when one is take the pee or just being rude and insulting without been able to see the person face to face.
How am I to know how well informed they are when they give advice.
How is criticism have any value if it offer no solution.
A forum is not a pub.Many things said on this forum would never be said in there pub as it would invite a smack for the face delivering the words.

Totally agree, the Jackel thread is a good example.
It may be my fault as I wrote " I think he was messing with you" ( I know now it should have been " he may be messing with you)
But now he is a member and he is jealous of his success.
All good fun though

I try to phrase criticicm on here as criticism of what someone is doing, rather than criticism of them personally.  I don't always succeed but I try.

In the same light I try to read what people say as criticicm of what I'm doing, not as criticism of me.  Thus, if I post and someone says "You're an idiot", I read it as "What you're saying is an idiotic idea".  That keeps the emotion a bit lower. 

Doesn't always work but can help.  If you take it personally, you'll just get annoyed.

See what I mean Garry said.
unless obviously you lack the intelligence to do so!
You do not know me to even judge my intelligence. Try saying "so some of us do not have much class."
The word you makes it personal.
