Nuwtfly Posted Tuesday at 14:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:11 I think this thread (accidentally) raises a really interesting point: is it a good think to think a bit more about your other forum members? It's easy to get carried away with the argument you're trying to make on here, and perhaps even easier to forget that you're actually conversing with real people who live real lives and go through real things. The person you might be arguing with about Paul Warne might be really going through it. Maybe it's worth thinking a bit more about what might be motivating them to post a certain way. I definitely will look to think more about this before getting into it with others in the future. Anag Ram and angieram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a lot, not here so much because I’m newish as a poster, but on fb I have worked out there are a few people who have ‘problems’, especially loneliness or self esteem who I’m guarded/thoughtful in my responses to. There are some clear turnips who get a regular roasting though, especially those who try to politicise sport threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just being cautious as you’re unaware of personal issues hidden behind the opposite screen/monitors. Why be that person on the bus or train blasting out music or TikTok videos without headphones on? Forcing people to endure your noise. Congratulations on irritating the other passengers that are sharing the service with you. Right there is a analogy of how forums can become. Shouldn’t have to put a rule in place to wear headphones on public transport, likewise you shouldn’t need one that forbids you from stripping naked and urinating on other passengers. Kind of obvious we should all know how to behave in public. Nuwtfly and Norman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admira Posted Tuesday at 15:54 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:54 When I used to be on Footymad before I saw the light and joined DCFC fans, I once did a thread where everyone posted where they were from originally, where they lived now, what they did for a living, their age, first Rams game and all time fave Rams player. I whacked these in a spreadsheet and it was easier to see the whole forum-base in one go. Also, I could have probably cracked most of their passwords with that info! 😄 Nuwtfly, ariotofmyown, richinspain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does make you really wonder that one? It was shortened even before that. I dropped the ‘a’ cus I thought it makes me come across as a pretentious tw@ and that should only be evident after my posts have been read, not before. I’ve met you haven’t I? Must have been more than 10 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted Tuesday at 22:10 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:10 On 16/09/2024 at 12:27, 1of4 said: The only thing I wonder about forum members. Is when attending Ram's games, how many members I've unknowingly interacted with over the years. I see the usual posters popping up all over the site. While I may glean a small insite of them, I've never wondered what these, and other forum members do when not on here. When I respond to a post, I'm reacting to it's content and will mostly not consider who posted it. It's much harder for blokes to remain anonymous at games than women. Quite a few people have come up to me at away matches to ask if I'm angieram. They don't always tell me who they are so I feel they have the advantage. And a few more I know must know me but don't acknowledge it. That also feels weird. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
