this is a community i mean can you think of 1 community who never argues or has disagreements?

---

I dont think we all hafta agree..just be civil..getting along doesnt mean we all agree..I HATE the new logo and not too up on the name..but not gonna frak about it..no way will we all agree....doesnt mean we cant get along tho..two seperate things actually.. [/b][/quote]
Well said, people can disagree and still get on and enjoy themselves. It happens often enough in real life. Like you say, as long as they can be civil when they disagree. Surely nobody wants an unpleasent time when they should be enjoying themselves.

Oh and I hadnt noticed that someone had accused me of it, so my apologies if I came on a bit strong. It really wasnt you I should have been having a go at, sorry.

I assumed that you equating me to internet.news was an insult.

Ok I guess I&#39;ll jump in...

Why would you assume that comparing you to internt.news would be an insult, it seemed clear to me it was a joke considering that it was suggested that you are an existing member signing up under a new identity, you do seem to know the members rather well for a newcomer, although if you really are a new member then I say welcome aboard. [/b][/quote]
My reply was also a joke, sorry if it didn&#39;t come across that way. I am sure you visit a lot of boards yourself. Bet you see the same type of characters over and over. I&#39;m not saying it is the same people, just that wherever you go you get the same type of people. Thanks for the welcome btw.

Welcome agrajag


Can i tell the rest of these people for you...

There are 2 other members that have posted with agrajag&#39;s IP, and he does not have the same writing style as either of these members.

Although i cant be 100%, i am quite sure he is not an existing member trying to wind you lot up...so can you give the guy a break?

Thank you, very nice of you to take the time without being asked.

This is the thread I referred to when we were discussing things in the About World News section. The one where someone pointed out that it was OK to disagree, as long as people were civil. It is supposed to be fun after all. I quite enjoy a good debate, as long as it does not get too nasty. It would be boring if we all thought the same things.

I think sugar is sweet.

I agree

Seconded

Me too

Ditto

Next thread please.

There really are those type of boards. They tend to use phrases like *hugs* a lot and messages like ((((Rat Faced)))). If people want that, fine, good luck to them. But it is not for me. I like some color left in my meat when it is cooked.

I dunno, depending on who&#39;s doing it, i dont so much mind the ((((Rat Faced)))) posts :P

Well the problem is when someone disagrees people always have to flame it has to stop :x

The writing style is familar but i cant quite pinpoint who it is, i&#39;m leaning to a certain member who has multiable personalitys ;)

of course we can..if we all choose too....as far as i know no amount of fake users getting on and blowing smoke saying"this board is great..i am new but i like the changes" will change anything and no reason to get all up in arms about it...not saying thats going on..as i have said before the rez or color or logo does not make this forum what it is the users do...in the end anyhow..I can deal with the changes so far nothing real earth-shattering....as long as this doesnt turn into a kindergaten class or a place where a few bullies run the playground I am fine..and the board should be...we come here to socialize and to keep up to date on P2P stuff...dont see why we cant keep doing that here even with the changes...only other thing that i see is that there seems to be an undercurrent of Kazaa bashing starting on here which I totally fail to understand...

He reminds me of a polite Jpol, who is also mindful of his "p&#39;s and q&#39;s". Since Jpol has been away today, i wonder.

Would be nice to have an a new intelligent and polite compatriot.

Actually I didn&#39;t get the impression it was a joke, it appeared as you were offended by Benno when he said
<!--QuoteBegin-Benno
Agrajag = internet.news?[/quote]


Thus my point was why would you be offended by being compared to someone that you don&#39;t know or had just that day, this is where I had decided to question your identity, I hadn&#39;t given it much thought prior to that, though in truth I really don&#39;t give a shit that much, just rather pathetic if you are...


@RatFaced

If I were to come here and post under a second identity, if, I surely wouldn&#39;t use the same style in my writing, that would be just stupid, it makes me wonder who&#39;s IP matches this one since it sounds like an active member considering you had already made the comparison.

Thats why i said i couldnt be certain.

2 members have posted using that IP address, other than our new friend..i dont believe its either of those 2 members...a different style.

As there is no obvious evidence to say its an active member, then he should be left in peace rather than flamed "&#39;coz he sounds like someone else"...

Thats just harrassment.

Let him post, and if it is an existing member....well a joke isnt funny unless you let people know, then you can all have the fun of saying "I knew it&#33;"

could still be a new member using someone else&#39;s computer..or on their home network?(diff. Ip then tho..I think?)..so it wouldnt be a joke nor a lie when they say their new...
