That’s all very well I just don't think four people taking the mick out of one person that they don't know is particularly funny. I could understand if it was someone you all knew and got along with, but when it's someone that you don't know and clearly you don't get along with then it just becomes a personal attack. It’s all fine and well amongst yourselves but to bring it into the public domain is another mater!
I've seen plenty of people on this forum joking around, and that’s good! It's what makes this forum such a friendly and helpful place to visit. I just don't think what occurred above really falls into that category.
How would you feel if you were relatively new to the forum and suddenly 4 of the 'regulars' turned on you?
I understand you may have been rubbed up the wrong way so to speak, and I completely see where you're coming from, but I wouldn’t bring myself down by retaliating in such a way.
I have respect for allot of the members of this forum and have learned allot from their contributions. I would just hate to think that this would be the first thread someone new would come across.
Maybe it's just me and the stress of exams has driven me into being an old bore?! (No need to answer that

)
