that when anyone becomes unpopular on here, everyone seems to believe everything bad that's said about them?

Could it be a sort of " mini -media " sort of thing ?

Pitch forks and fire brands at the ready ?

Blowed if I know..............lol x

Maybe not everyone :)))

I have seen some stupid claims...the most silliest and one one of my favs is.. when someone claimed that someone or ones had deleted their FB account,

Kay, I like a ruck and I think Robin is a proper numpty and Mel is *her own worst enemy* and so on but I still don't think they're up to half the things they are accused of.

I could ask 'why' about so many things on here...

Many's the time I've used the villager / pitchforks metaphor myself in this regard. ;)

Now, elsewhere, it's the Pakled image ...

So much of what goes on hereabouts brings one or the other to mind.

TeresaW Report 30 Jan 2010 23:16

Well I've only really accused her of being a pain in the backside on here, and not knowing how to behave on t'internet....

Robin = numpty....you're in a good mood tonight PMSL

You know what I think of him, and I can't say it here without getting a ban...lol

Uggers if i ever become even more unpopular...please let me know what bits you believe about me ;)

it could be of course because some people know even worse things that ARE true, so are inclined to believe almost everything is possible ...

Uggers Report 30 Jan 2010 23:17

Then ask, Sheila - it might make things more interesting;)

What's Pakled image, Janey?

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 30 Jan 2010 23:18

Uggers....your thought provoking question has led me to the expression " mud slinging " which is apparently a form of negative campaigning.......but exactly what the aim is I couldn't guess...........I'm sure no one wins anything at the end of the " mud " slinging and unfortunately the entire boards end up smelling of sh*t .

But it does give us all something to read and think about..........lol
