stainlee 27 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I v just been arguing with RFYL , and I,m begining to wonder if it,s my fault ,my problem is with banter , I know what banter is , but without seeing someones facial expression , tone of voice etc to me it just seems like insults . I have an old fashioned attitude to being insulted ,but am I taking umbrage at someones banter ? Maybe I,m too old fashioned for this t,internet lark , anyway you ALL have my best wishes .

Borat 8 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Who cares, it's just a few words on a computer screen.. They dont affect your personal life, so dont worry !! As for me, I fall out with myself and like being a Wind up Merchent and Urine Extracter.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for me, I fall out with myself and like being a Wind up Merchent and Urine Extracter.. Aye. Top advice. It's usually pretty easy to tell whether someone's having a larf or got a mard on. If in doubt, I just ignore it. Unless i have a mard on myself..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I f*****g hate the word banter, people always seem to say retarded shit or be rude and then try to magically excuse it all by calling it banter. I mean in the real world, not thl wonder land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to be the same when i first started using the internet,if someone was abusive i wanted to rip their throat out but i quickly realised the internet is just not like real life you just got to accept some folks bollocks grow when they tap a keyboard then shrink back to normal size when they step foot out the door !.... Once you get that concept into your head it dont wind you up as much and you just brush it off.......after all said and done,its only the internet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
