The constant bitching, bickering and moaning in the forum is right doing my head in. No wonder hardly anyone posts anymore!!

And the fact that 8 days on and its all still going is doing my head in now :banghead:
13 posts since Nov 2010 and the forum is annoying? As you are not the largest contributor maybe you should stop reading the threads that annoy you and concentrate on contributing to the ones that make you happy? Just a suggestion dunno

Over 50,000 Manchester United fans do not contribute to playing football every home match but they can still have an opinion if they think the game was shit.

The original question remains, why bother?
If something is shite and I dont enjoy it I stop doing it, simple as.

Just my point of view. As you are ont massively contributing to the forum mainly reading it then why carry on reading it if you dont like it? Stop reading it dunno

Makes sense to me anyway. If I dont like a book I stop reading it, why would I carry on?
What exactly do you want? The forum users to chage their posts for you so its more to your style of reading?

I think that's a bit rich Tweeky, coming from someone who incessantly whines about the things they don't like about the forum

People carry on doing things in the hope that things will get better. Hence the original opinion.
People have different opinions and are different in the way they approach things. Pink-n-Blue, in my opinion, is saying that they will not quit doing something just because it isn't to their liking at the moment as they hope it will change in the future. You are saying you are a quitter.
You may like quitting when it isn't to your liking but not everyone is the same.
That is how I read and interpreted both your postings. It may be wrong, but that is how I read it.

You are wrong, congratulations.
If i dont like a computer game I dont play it or I stop playing it
If I dont like a book I stop reading it
Etc Etc Etc
The Man untd fans dont have the chance to get involved in the game they have no power to change it select the team etc.
My point was simple Pink n Blue dont exactly post much what they do post is mostly birthdasy etc so if they dont like reading the forum then why bother. Just my point of view and no Im not a quitter I just dont do things I dont like when I have a choice not to, I find that rather idiotic.
In reply to Max777 yes I probably do whinge about some stuff I ont like in the forum but then on top of that I do lots of stuff I do like in the forum. The total opposite to Pink n Blue.

The discussion on people's attitudes to experiences they don't like - to leave it or to stay and want it to improve - is interesting. The different responses people have to the same situations can be a fascinating subject for study, however it doesn't change one specific thing - which is that:
If a person has a 'thing' they want to rant about in here - they can. Being told to stop complaining and 'if you don't like they way something is, tough, just walk away', is unreasonable. This is a place to complain - I really don't think anyone gets to vet the complaints and choose which ones they consider to be acceptable.

Which is not what I did

As its plain to see I did not tell anyone to do anything. Posts in any area of the forum are safe to reply to as far as I am concerned. So my SUGGESTION to the complaint stands.

You stop playing games if you don't like them or stop reading a book if you don't like it. You say stop, I say quit. It is a tomato and tomato scenario. It means exactly the same, so how can my statement be idiotic and your statement not dunno

. If it upsets you, then I will say sorry and change it. Perhaps you are a stopper then, is that actually a word :dunno:
I see this whole debate as two people having different opinions on how they want to use the forum and each is entitled to use it however they want. Neither is right and neither is wrong. However, when an opinion is voiced then people can and will counter with another opinion.

Differences for me Dave
I quite smoking. It was something I liked I had to make a decision weighing up all the factors. That to me is quitting. I dont consider turning on a computer game finding it to be crap and turning it off to be quitting thats just stopping. If however I played 3 levels liked it and couldent get past a certain part so took a decision to leave it there then that again is quitting.
Just the way I look at it biggrin

Isn't language a wonderful thing? When it comes down to it - this is all semantics.

9 Jul 2011

Language, law and science, when you start breaking it down, can be used to back up one argument or another. It is a wonderful thing, as it gives us our opinions wink

i think to stop could be a temporary thing.
as an example if i was say playing a comptur game and the doorbell went i would STOP playing that game until that person had gone and then i could carry on playing the game as i left it. to quit that game is to end that particuler game if i was halfway through a game of football i could just stop playing and come back to it in ecactly the same place as i left it if i quit then that is impossible to do.
hopefuly peeple will suss out what that meens. so i think stop and quit ARE indeed differant meenings to them.
plenty of other examples.

Is just an opinion, it has no basis in fact.
A dictionary states that to quit is the same as to stop. It didn't state "for a short while". That is just your opinion
Therefore someone can stop playing football or quit playing football. Neither means only for a short while, that is something in your own head. If thats how you want to look at it for your own way of working things out..........then fill your boots. It does not mean that it has two meanings though.

I do love these forums all the moaning and groaning....now now form a queue before you start the rant he he he......tut its just my opinion :evil2::evil2:

:banghead:
Some one who I gave my number to ages ago rings me yesterday, (I cannot actually remember who she is!) whilst I am at work, and does not take the hint, when I say, 'I am at work at the moment' to ring off..........and goes on to tell me that if I want to chat to ring her back.
Then later on that evening she rings again, but the phone switched to voice mail, she leaves me a message to say get in contact.
Phone is now firmly switched off.
