munter Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Sometimes, just sometimes on a thread, words from another member can piss me off. It might be a flippant comment on a scratch build. It might be a negative comment, but that can be helpful. It might be blatant thread drift or thread stealing as I now call it. It might be piggy backing, " I made one too, look at mine" It might be no comment at all. I would love to hear what any other members feel when they read threads they started or comments on replies they made. Please dont make me write a forum etiquette thread. Is there a thread of guidelines/etiquette for members already in existence? Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRUNZ Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 The way I see a public forum should be a place where people can openly discuss themes. Sometimes there is a bit of drift or piggybacking (I have done this twice recently here): it could happen as starting a new thread is not really worth it...I do not see anything wrong with it and could add to the discussion. But maybe depends on the day. Quote Cheers G "I am an expert at the top of my field when mowing the lawn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branco Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I can't believe people call you grumpy, John. You see things as they are, nothing wrong with that.

slotmadmac Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Don't sweat the small stuff mate. People call me a lot worse things than Grumpy. Come to think of it, I call you a lot worse things than Grumpy! Edited April 4, 2018 by slotmadmac Quote Podiums are for short people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGas Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I do think sometimes we put out own connotations to what people have written and read them in our head with different emphasis to what the intention might have been. A few times I have gotten the wrong end of the stick because. In regards to pigging backing I agree with Grunz, I think sometimes that is a good thing, stealing thread is wrong though. A couple of posts I have started have had others ideas inputted and personally I think that is a good thing if it is relevant to the topic, as you don't have to go searching all over for similar ideas. If it intended as a personal post, like a record for self on procedures for future reference then maybe a statement can be added at its initiation so readers can stay on topic or just heap praise.

espsix Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I don't think that going off topic is a problem, when talking face to face, a conversation can go from one subject to another, especially if it involves more than two people.

Big Mick2 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Espsix is right on the money, when I talk face to face with people the conversation moves around. Sometimes they or I will say something that pisses them or myself off that is life I dont own conversations but unlike face to face I can just skip over the stuff I dont like or just ignore the garbage.

dangermouse Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Who made you grumpy John?
