snowychap Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) You know exactly what you're doing, it's just you acting like a jerk again, snowychap. Pressing peoples buttons and stirring shit up. There's no need to pick apart sharky's post like that, have some respect for **** sake.Edit: unsurprising reply.

maqroll Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 At the risk of getting my head bitten off, that the victims had cancer doesn't make the crime any worse, does it? This suggests you knew what you were writing was uncalled for. And by the way, "the victims" are the parents of members of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I meant and your post (as opposed to Ben's posts) sodding well backs up that worry.I shan't respond any further until the mods have had their say.

Ingram85 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 C'mon guys simmer down, its Christmas, no need for stirring or hostile reactions. Everyone have a snowball and a mince pie and smile. Yes I'm aware I've been a word removed in the past so it may seem rich coming from me but c'mon chaps. Play nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were worried about how it might come across given the personal context of the posts, then just don't ask the question. In my opinion it's a perfectly legitimate question to ask, but just at a different time and within a much less personal context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of a thread on a forum when was it acceptable to put the question forward?Am I still a jerk? Was I still doing it to stir things up? Was I still picking someone's post apart?No. I never was but it played in to your sanctimoniousness to post your accusations thus.I guess your acceptance of my apology for a previous contretemps was rubbish.

tonyh29 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 So?'So'? So? suggests I want a fight about it whereas I was just looking for clarification on what was meant. It certainly wasn't meant to belittle, separately, the experience of being burgled or the experience of dealing with cancer. You know exactly what you're doing, it's just you acting like a jerk again, snowychap. Pressing peoples buttons and stirring shit up. There's no need to pick apart sharky's post like that, have some respect for **** sake. It was a legimate question and I think you are over reacting a bit .... Possibly suggesting you issue is more with the poster than the post itself ? He's already apologised if his intent was misunderstood that should have been the end of the matter All imo of course and no offence meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted December 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Managers from years gone by sticking their ore in saying "he's not ready" for a promotion. When was the last time I worked with you, let alone know what I'm capable of? Super annoying. My current management said I'm good for it. I prepped an application and thought I would do OK. Said ex-manager (who bastardly has just taken up a senior role) was invited to a "management meeting" after a year-long sabbatical to proclaim, "he needs more time". In the management meeting, she had the bigger voice and I was after told in no uncertain words that it's pointless submitting the application as they won't consider it. Not even to get feedback to see where I can improve? Won't you give me the chance to apply? No, for she has spoken. Hence why I'll forever live in mediocrity, just scraping through life. Ay Caramba.

maqroll Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 He's already apologised if his intent was misunderstood that should have been the end of the matter He went back to edit in an apology, I'd have let it drop right there had it been part of the original post. Don't ask the question because it might be difficult? No, don't ask it because it's bad manners. I guess your acceptance of my apology for a previous contretemps was rubbish. On the contrary. You've sent two PM's to me previously apologizing for "contretemps", and both times I was happy to let things slide. But for the last few months or so you seem to take enjoyment from throwing rocks, and in this instance, I'm calling you on it. I think it's poor form on your part, end of.

I'm a turd for thinking that I may have chosen to put something in a different way.Don't ask the question because it might be difficult?No, don't ask it because it's bad manners.Really? You're getting the arse because it's 'bad manners'?If you think it's an unacceptable question at that time then fair enough - criticize me for asking it then but explain when you think it's an unacceptable comment.I guess your acceptance of my apology for a previous contretemps was rubbish.On the contrary.

maqroll Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 When someone has posted about their sick mother having been robbed, it is advisable not to ask wether the sickness makes the robbery worse. It comes across as exceptionally callous and instigative, and you've treated me and a few other people on here with that same casual disregard over the past few months, and I've called you out on it. I was willing to overlook it before, but tonight you've made me snap. Sorry for boring everyone with this, it's the last I'll post on the matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
