Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Oh no WE can’t work it out. Not in the slightest. Not a chance of it happening before most of us die. We are about as far as working it out as we can be. There is more chance of Crow’s Greater Slavic republic coming to pass than of us having a sensible grown up discussion on here.(Ed- I think they may have got your drift by now).
This week has seen a spate of vicious personal attacks that exhibited just about every variant of ism known to mankind. I am reminded once again of the best bit of lifestyle advice ever given to me, viz:
"Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable and remove yourself from the unacceptable."
There are a few people on here that fall in the last section of that mantra in my eyes. I want nothing to do with them. They seriously seem like the people that I go out of my way to avoid in real life. One night this week I spent an enlightening hour or so looking at some of the archived posts on PF. It was enlightening to pick a fairly controversial topic and see how the thread developed. Sure there were passionate arguments in there and people did step over the mark but vicious personal attacks were few and far between.
And just to make things even worse it was dismaying to see people turning on the mods for shifting their pet rant around into random. Being a mod is never easy. Being a mod when sections of the membership are hell bent on flaming and laying into other members is damned well impossible. You don’t like the mods? Then why not join them. Either that or start behaving responsibly yourselves.
Oh well that’s my own rant over with for now.
Other stuff happened but I forget what it was all about in the main. Rock and Polson have started two more prediction games. Sterling efforts given the amount of administration they require. Thanks guys.
Becksi had a nice time in PL.
Sledz is sort of back. Its Polonia time again in Chicago. Time for my annual bout of jealousy.
Lots of Brits/Irish looking for jobs in PL. Good luck people.
Yes, we are all different. Different customs, different foods, different mannerisms, different languages, but not so different that we cannot get along with one another. If we will disagree without being disagreeable.” - J. Martin Kohe
