Red-repper's

**slowpoke** · 18th October 2006, 08:25

Been red repped twice in the last coupla days, funny as fukk it is too.

hXc could handle dishing out the ethnic/minority stereotypes but couldn't handle receiving it. He soon ran out of steam and threw all his toys outta the toy box in a right wee tanty. Education is wasted on the young.

K14 took offence to a thread started with the one word title of a motoGP rider. No information was given that could have remotely given away the result of the earlier race (hence no "motoGP spoiler tag") yet apparently it contravened some UN decree on talking about motoGP within some unwritten timeframe. If you can't handle reality don't open your eyes.

I laugh at what transpires on these hallowed pages with little or no comment yet from the above I appear to be a sinner of immense proportions. I am unrepentant, there is no hope of redemption, there is nought left but to save you the trouble of a crucifixion by doing it myself. Er...can someone give me hand with the last nail please.....?

Part of life - you will always see things differently to some. They have the right not to agree... and if they choose to they can hand out a red one to show that disagreement.

Not sure what naming the people is going to achive... but hey thats just me not agreeing with you.

I'd just rather people disagree out in the open, exchange opinions, bitch slap each other as per the new smiley and walk away hopefully a bit more learned for the experience. Over something as minor as these it just seems painfully petty.

I'm big enough to stand by what I've written, I'm intrigued to see if they are too, rather than throwing rocks in the safety of the shadows.

You are a wise judge of character mate, always trust your gut instincts!

OK, someone posts about this like once a month. Seems more like every 28 days to me, you guys all syncronised your flow or something?

Here's my advice, grow a pair.

If I met you in the street and said your hair was crap and your shirt looks like an Oxfam reject would you cry? Suck it up man.

But you gotta love the BLT, and for that alone I'll always love pigs.

Some people dont have an interest in that... they dont agree with you, they make that clear... but maybe they dont want to get intio a conversation about it. Nothing wrong with that. Thats why I question your motives on the name and shame approach...

Its part of the internet too. The rep system is there for people to let others know how they feel about things said. You dont get upset in person when someone does not agree with you, so why do it on the net?

Always amazing how people love the green ones, and that is never post about that, but the red ones are a different story... my advice? Dont take things too seriously, its just the internet

You should really not worry too much about that....

Power to the people, etc!

dude, you've gotta see my new haircut and the t-shirt I'm wearing was from oxfam.

as for red reppers, most of the ones I seem to get are n00bs (was that the correct spelling you sad uber geeks??) that take offence to my diplomatic and politically correct style of engrish.

and Finn, cos he's a fuckin poof.

Don't see what the problem is mate. Its a system for approving or disapproving peoples posts. No need to have a cry about it. I give out both quite regularly and duely recieve it too. I don't really care what other people think when i give it out, its my perogative to do so. 99% of people are cool with it, then we get the other 1% (you) who go crying to their mummies when they get it.
