I`m getting increasingly frustrated with the intolerance that has seemingly crept on to this board from BFC fans to each other. Healthy debate and differences of opinion are part and parcel of any fans forum but we seem to have developed an insidious acceptance of differing points of view or (god forbid) someone posting a bit of rumour or any conjecture. Isn`t that the usual comings and goings of a forum?
We should have a BBS Empathy Day where everyone endeavours to fully consider the poster's perspective and reasoning before responding to any post and then to reply in a constructive and friendly manner. Some might say it should be like that all the time, of course, but I think we should set ourselves a realistic target at first. If it's just for one day then those who like to come on here looking for a fight can presumably find some other way to occupy themselves.
40 minutes and not one person has accused me of being a politically correct, tree-hugging pinko. Frankly I'm disappointed. Have I accidentally become part of the clique and so protected by unseen forces? What does a man have to do to get insulted around here these days?
My cousin is a Catholic priest. He calls his sandals "Desert Wellies." Once scaled Mam Tor to give a blessing for a woman who wanted to scatter her hubbies ashes up there. Slipped on some grass in his sandals and slid on his ass on the last part of his descent.
Makes it interesting though . Dull as dish watter otherwise . It's just words , bring on the weirdos for me .
