Missing Forum Posts

[astral276]

Lol..I am suspecting that I probably got reported ! I am puzzled about the whole concept of a forum to be honest- the name says it's one thing, but in reality it's another. I have been a member on 3 other forums and gradually stopped posting on them because the minute you say anything at all you manage to offend somebody...so you can't really say what you have to say which is all a bit pointless.

Certain people report others just for the sake of it. They are close relations to forum Trolls; ineffectual people in the real world, but gain a feeling of validation of their existence if they can mess with other people on forums. The internet is a perfect vehicle for them as they wouldn't have the bottle to engage in a face to face confrontation with another person.

Sherlock Holmes never existed.

Someone not being real hasn't stopped people quoting things commonly attributed to them.

But someone that has never existed can never have said anything. Holmes never said what you quoted. Conan Doyle put those words into the mouth of a fictional character.

Have you noticed that the thread deletions have stopped since sidthelamp put up a Holiday Notice? Coincidence?

If that is true lets hope they are on a long holiday!

Lol...my English language structure has never been perfect and will most likely never will be.

I would have thought you would have translated my post before you replied.

Now now...I will have to report you if you are both going to argue about fictional characters- I'm sure that must be breaking a rule somewhere in the world ! What makes me laugh about people who get their pants in a knot on forums, is that THEY are the trolls and don't see it, but are the first to call someone else a troll the minute they disagree with them ! Or worse still if you try and joke or make lighthearted comments on a worldwide forum, ye gads, you set yourself up for all sorts of aggravation on a massive scale !

Coincidence? Nope.

Yep. And for those few weeks, I can maybe use the forums without threats of being reported.
