I never realy thought of it before that a simple dutch word meaning Fanfare could lead to that.. Mainly people from the US had the most troublre with Bomb - Arie..
A friend of mine got banned from the Sony Gaming Network because his online name was Tallybar, they thought it sounded too much like Taliban, even when he explained his name was Barry Tallentire they still weren’t having it and locked his account. He lost all the Trophies and achievements for the games he was playing because they didn't have a system in place to change your online name once you'd picked one.
Just leave the group man! Let them carry on with their circle jerk - laugh about them.
Yeah I did that last night brother more to stop my phone constantly bleeping and save my battery, I guess you need to know when you to walk away
🙂
Steeeppp learning curve there for me, something I won't be repeating. If I can pull a positive out of a negative experience. I now have greater respect and understanding of cyber bullying and what actually goes on, not that I was bullied but it is stressful. I see newsreaders and politicians on TV complaining about the backlash they get on twitter etc and I also have a teenage daughter, I often think grow a pair and tell them to f@ck off but it's not as simple as that. Especially for a teenager who needs to face these people at school the next day. I was brought up on a council estate in the North, not what you would call a desirable post code
😀 If someone called you out you had to deal with it to save face, that I can deal with.
I think what was worse was out of all the messages that were popping up on my phone I thought I'll sort the wheat from the Chaff and only discuss things with anyone that is going to explain their point and not even furnish idiot teenagers who were just jumping on the band wagon with no substance with a reply, but when I looked on the profiles the people who were being particularly obnoxious were 40 odd year old fathers with university degrees! Do they act and talk to strangers like that in real life? I'm surprised they've survived that long tbh. I guess they don't though, not unless they have a few thousand miles of cable to hide behind.
GIF's, what's that all about? I think people wrongly assume that you have seen all the films that they have and the film it was taken from. Someone would reply with a gif and I didn't even know what it meant, were they agreeing or not? Grow up, that's what I say or maybe I'm getting too old for this kinda crap.
Ironically, other than the slating I got for posting the above comments the main bone of contention seemed to be about LC. I suggested to the OP to use some as it gives them a little bit of carbon in a non co2 tank. When we eventually got down to the bare bones of the matter and people started explaining some numbers were put up about how much carbon is created by by LC and you could get the same amount of co2 by adding some o2 to the tank (the amount from lc was minuscule) which to be fair, I'm sure I've seen Clive do that sum before in here but there was molecular weights and what have you in there so I didn't look into too much as I don't use LC as a carbon source so no need to fill my head with that level of science. I just spot dose algae with it now and again, it works for that and that's all I need to know. Then they got advised to use the LC for its "other benefits" and it does add a small amount of carbon, is that not what I said in the first place? All thing could've been dealt with in a couple of mature sentences without the circus!
Anyway got a gif of a cat clinging to a tree in the wind and a horse dragging someone across the floor tied to it by their ankles, no idea what that means but I'm guessing it wasn't good
😀😀😀😀
Whatever man, not a good experience but one I'm putting behind me. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
