Have Tried to Be Patient...

In what way? I can't say I agree or disagree. It would depend on just what you mean.

Forums are like that. Can't do much about it as a user but except it and take a break when you need to. Or if you feel better leaving it behind that's ok too. I don't know you well, but do what you feel is best for you.

Huh?

Except for violating the TOS, how can someone "abuse" a forum?

That's right, and also, you have to learn to "speed read" this forum for useful information.

I think I know why he left. Down the page, there's a thread in which Papa was participating, which was interrupted by a user who demonstrated his lack of regard for fellow posters through the use of pornographic language, which was echoed with inane tittering from the little boys in the peanut gallery who are attracted by potty talk such as this.

Unfortunately, the practice of washing the mouths with soap of foul mouthed little boys has fallen out of favor in the past 30 years or so, and we have many an "adult" moron in our society now who enjoy exercising their right to publicly expose filth.

If you are referring to me, please don't group me into such a puerile class. If not, great. Either way, if I contributed to papa2004 leaving, I feel bad enough without being called a little boy or an adult moron. I go overboard sometimes, but I also contribute a lot, especially to newbies. I'm not perfect, but I'm not a total jerk either.

John, I think it was some of the language used by Holy-S-Batman.

Oh, good, I thought it was the "Warp" thread. Now I feel better...

f someone gets off on being a dork, and the other party gets angry and leaves, the dork is usually pretty happy

I agree with you on this. That is why I am angry about this. Papa ia worth a 100 Batman types. Its now also our loss.

I still don't get it. There is no good reason for Papa to want to leave that I can see. He has from all I have seen deported himself with impeccable taste. If it is true that his comment on that thread led him to not want to participate any more on this forum I have to wonder if there is more to it than that. Surly one bad thread from an idiot can't have that kind of effect. If that were the case I would have left years ago.

We get numskulls from time to time. It is to be expected on any forum. We are lucky that we have so few. It should not have any effect on the solid members here.

It just seems a bit out of the blue to me.

I am still angry.

ORIGINAL: papa2004

but...Too many are abusing these forums while contributing nothing to them. See y'all later!

First thing is to report the abuse of TOS. That's what I do, I've done this many times.

I do value your contributions on these forums no matter if we agreed or disagreed I still respect your opinions.

Have a break away from these forums it's the best thing to do, the best advise I can give to you. Go and spend good valuable time with family :)

Take care! Hope to see you later :)

Post in general regarding ALL sites (forums) online:

The old saying. . . . in war there are no winners!

. . . the same can be said to war of words on forums.

Any disagreement over opinions has the potential to go on and on, and at times it can turn nasty!! It can become very disruptive on forums, especially considering the nature of this site being a support forum some people can be frustrated and/or unhappy about something, or just having a lousy rotten day.

No matter where online (forums) there will always be the clash of the titans, the clash of egos, but it takes two sides to start a war and often others will jump in on the bandwagon for cheap entertainment, to either take one sided view or try to reason with both sides.

Having the block (ignore) feature on this forum isn't such a bad idea, most administrators suggest members 'ignore' and report (it works, it does end further conflicts). When I block someone at times I'm bluffing, other times I see it as a permanent solution as a way to end future disputes NOW!. If someone crossed my path to abuse then I have the right to block (ignore) them but if that person persist then that is regarded as a criminal offense, and in regards to online forums anyone can be removed from a site by court order, and yes! It does work because I have dealt with incidents elsewhere, far worse than this forum.

All too often I have seen the 'Cyber Coward', TROLL, who sits behind the comfort and safety of his/her computers acting all big 'n' tough, strring up the pot whilst being entertained by it all!! Little do they realize they are not only in violation of the TOS they are possibly in violation of the law.

Occasionally I see the human SpellChecker or the Nit-Picker, or someone who wants to be so darn serious about everything and not take a joke or a metaphor of words/sentences in posts, or some people who must analyze every single word right down to the most basic meaning and sometimes quote a small part of it out of context. Often this can cause dispruptions on forums and turn nasty.

There are people here from all over the world and their English may not be that great. There are also people who aren't that good with communication skills and there are different types of English speaking countries including tha' lingo. There are also many different cultures to consider and through unfortunate or for whatever circumstances such as.. Example-01: some people may come across aggressive when in fact they didn't intend to (wrong choice of words can often cause issues when communicating on forums). Example-02: Some have I wittle truble undarstooding English. Example-03: someone is having a bad day, their pc crashed again and their cute little puppy dog just did a weeeeeeeeee in their boot.

This forum is a peer to peer voluntary support site for CW users and potential customers who may be interested in purchasing CW products. There are thousands of visitors viewing these forums everyday! And WOW!! It sure does get very busy on these forums. A lot of CW users here are sincere and loyal, they want this site to be really cool and not go down the drain.

I want this site to be great!! So come on ya all let's support this by reporting troublemakers, trolls. The more reports sent by us the better chance of having troublemakers banned! It's about time we cleaned out the trash LOL!!

Anyway! I can easily and very quickly log-out and spend valuable time with family or do some more recording. Ah yes! There is life beyond these forums.

Disclaimer:
My communications skills aren't the best right now! I've been too busy celebrating my Birthday today

Happy Birthday to me, happy Birthday to me

I'm outta here LOL!!

Happy Birthday Song. Have a good one on me.


Nice post BTW.

john there is no need to feel sorry for me because i was just asking what caused all this mischief...and i suggested that MAYBE he could have overreacted...(but - my fault - i do not know how he was insulted)
and anyway i still think that people should not be so sensitive anyway..
have you ever wondered why the "faith - issue" almosrt always results in quarrels? its obvious because believing into something implies that you do not believe something else believed by anothere one - and there you go with the problems....i am not saying that its nice to insult religuis feelings but since there are thousands of creeds....whatever...i am not in the mood for deep discussions - just let me tell you that i grew up in a monastery and for that reason i am sceptical about a few things.....because if the creed still is pure the believers often are not....but dont feel offended by that because thats not my intention... in the end i just wanted to know concretely why papa was frustrated....cheers

Anonymity is one of THE worst contributors to forum abuse. Zero accountability brings out the WORST in human nature.
If every member were required to register and post using their REAL NAME the garbage behavior would drop RADICALLY. (Jaron Lanier wrote a great article about this and other bad behavior on the internet. It was published in Discover Magazine last year.)

Maybe a new forum with this as a requirement would gain in popularity.
I would want to join it anyway. Right now.

I can't agree with the idea that we should have our identity known. It is way too dangerous as it is now I would not like to think what it would become.

My name is John.

Also the Steinberg forum has the registration requirement. You have to put your dongle info in to post. I did this a few times but if you don't post for a while it asks for it again. I simply stopped going there. It is really a dead place compared to here.

It would really help if you were to tell us just what thread you had in mind. Being vague isn't helping matters much.
