Quoted from jock dock tower
We live in a world where it is so easy to criticise and harm, even without realising what we are doing.

Pete had a much publicised problem on here years ago and the Fishy community reacted absolutely brilliantly. Some times these forums are a person's only link to the outside world - I'm not saying it is in Pete's case - and it becomes an almost surrogate friend to communicate with.

As someone who has periodically suffered with mental health issues I'm glad I'm able to divorce what happens online from reality. Some can't. I think we all ought to be just that little bit more careful when putting a red cross down, or a disparaging remark. Am with others on here though who see the approval ratings as unnecessary. They serve no purpose, but they do have the capacity to hurt. I'd do away with them as well.


if someone is that bothered by a red cross i'd tell them to grow up and get a life, people are entitled to an opinion, i have mental health issues, i have depression and anxiety and i take medication for it, but fgs someone disagreeing with you on a post is not a big deal, just bloody turn them off if it offends so much. this is very very over the top

I agree Hagrid in many ways,  but I'm sure from what you say, you will personally appreciate that one person's minor irritation is another's last straw. Just telling them to 'get a life' or 'get on with it' or 'just ignore it' or words to that effect is not really going to help. As I said earlier on, it isn't the people who disagree with what he writes that cause the reaction Pete has had.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

Quoted from Maringer
Pete, just take the view that if people marking a post down can't be bothered to actually reply to disagree, then their opinion isn't worth noting.

You've got a high approval rating so you obviously don't talk shite all the time.  


He fking does !

Of all the sad illegitimates on here who delight on giving me a minus on all my posts I will stop posting you sick  gits.


Join the flipping club mate! See you Saturday - save me a seat in the old farts front row as usual

What's an 'approval rating'?

Don't let the boring illegitimates hound you out Pete, you're a valued member of the board!
