My post reflected on a thread over there which implied an event might not be happening , through a lack of publicity. Which Is wrong and I gave reasons why that is.
I always find it intriguing when posters defend defend defend ....
TAH no one has a problem saying anything to anyone. But ultimately when a forum is so fiercely protective of the ‘truth’ you should expect others to comment if the information you post has some inaccuracies. If you wrote anything like this in that board it would be deleted / you personally attached or derided / then other members would back the behaviour up or minimise it...... examples in this thread.
If this board existed only to attract people who had left that board or were pissed at it... there would be a sizeable membership I’m sure.
I'm not disagreeing with you, westenders, though I see how my comment comes across that way. I agree completely about the whole "truth" issue, though I do see the other side of it fwiw. Like Captain, I don't like the frequent derogatory comments, even if I agree with the sentiment. I'd rather say it directly to the person in question, but I'm a pretty direct person.
My reply to Cap was just expressing a minor disagreement about the use of the term schadenfreude, which I don't really think applies to this context. I don't see anyone taking joy in another's misfortune. Just throwing stones, which I don't like to do either (unless I'm throwing them directly at the person, metaphorically of course).
