[snip] Thanks for the welcome. I am just expressing my opinion. OIC, I actually thought the Moderators here are employees and owners of this very forum/website.....
HC, yes mods are just volunteers .... yes with power to smack, and to applaud, but all senior members do too, and collectively try to keep the Forum running smoothly. You have got it right, ethical and honest behaviour is appreciated, it's one of the fundamentals to gaining respect.
You ask; "Why on earth would someone brag about something in here that is false ......". That is a relatively rare event considering all the traffic, although we do get spikes from time to time. I have reflected before that we should petition our Governments to stop the patients in the asylums from accessing the internet. Anyway, fact is some people feel compelled to, IMO borderline personality disorder or worse.  A common descriptor is "troll", but this will also include people who flame, and purposely try to BS and provoke the Forum.
[for the Startrek fans] As Spock would say to a troll; "It is logical to assume that if you face ten angry men in a deserted alley, you will encounter much pain and suffering." Well the Forum is anonymous so a troll won't have to face a physical beating, but they can face humiliation, a beating in the virtual sense.
As Spock would say to all Bros who contribute positively: "Live long and prosper".....   |
