Its all about anonimity, people lose their inhibitions when they are on the interweb,knowing that they can get away with being far more offensive than they can be in real life.
I think I can tell now when a thread has got out of control by the rapid number of responses, which are generally deleted by morning. A good fight will always attract more response then a nice one... human nature !

Kaz ,you do make sense,the thing with Chat /General is that we cannot and will not know for sure what is real or not.

Your earlier post has reminded me of another incident on here........

A member who lived in Northern Ireland where there had been a flare up of local unrest - she had riots going on at the end of her road ........

We lost contact with her and concern mounted - and by an amazing feat of pooling of ideas and resources members here finally suceeded in securing a call to her house by the authorities to check on her.

As it turned out, fortunately all was well and she was very touched by the trouble folk had gone to.


These are the genuine 'crisis' that could so easily be ignored for the sake of a carelessly thought out joke ..............

Anyway - enough said - goodnight :O)

Hey Anne, I remember that, was really scary, wasn't it?

During the night, I have had a few crises to cope with alone on here sometimes or just me and another person trying to help someone.... people do their best in good faith and let's hope it's always like that.

I only get annoyed occasionally and usually try and stay off dodgy threads, can't be doing with silly people arguing. Life's too short and I live with a Mr Angry so don't want it here too.
