All the recent lurkers coming out posting threads say "1st time thread, be gentle/easy on me."

Come on are we really that rough apart from wild dingo that is:oo:

Surely:p they have the wrong impression, we are sweet gentle CRASH BANGERS:wink:

Mate it is just a product of the Nanny State that people are becoming hypersensitive to everything. One harsh word and most "Men" are off bawling to their mommies and demanding the end to offensive behaviour .

I've been watching this show on Austar about supposed hard men and young crims taken through paratroop training. Many of them end up blubbing because they've never experienced consequences, responsibility or been unable to do what they like. Bloody nancies the lot of 'em.

And to Tontos point of course we're not scary...:U

HH.They have lacked leadership in their lives. It is amazing what happens during induction training, some of the toughest are the weakest. I trained a young girl once who was as tough as nails and never gave up.

The ones to watch are those that don't seek group approval, they usually know themselves and what they can do, and go about their business fairly quietly.

[HappyHammer]

Yeah that's pretty close to this show, where the ones who are trying too hard are usually the ones that crack or end up ostrecised (spelling?)

this is a very friendly helpful forum/community.
i guess a lot of these guys have ventured into other forums and asked a simple question only to have the living bejesus kicked out of them.
it is pleasantly nice to come here.

Bit of both I reckon here....
We do tend to become a bit familiar with each other in the way we speak (post) to each other &, to a new comer, we could sound a bit (lot) rough.... :rolleyes:
There have also been a few public stonings of new comers as well & I can think of at least 3 that didn't really deserve the 'welcome' that they got. (or didn't get)

I can also think of a few that got off on the wrong foot & had it rightly chewed off. :D

[Honorary Bloke]

I reckon a lot of forums, this one included, can come off a bit rough as Cliff said, and no one wants to be the object of those public stonings.

But as anyone who lurks here a bit before chiming in should be able to figure out, a lot depends on that first post or two. The bloke who posts "Hi, my first time, be gentle, and can I wire up my own powerpoints and how do I do it?" deserves a hiding and that's what he gets. :D

If you can't read the forum for a while and understand its tenor and nature, then you're a no-hoper anyway.

Actually, one of the friendliest forums in the world. :p

DO WE HAVE A BLOODY PROBLEM HUSTON???

MY FLAMIN OATH WE DO SPORT!!!

I mean COMEFRIGGINON!!! I am not that bad...

I have attacked quite rightly I thought... I think only 2 people who deserved a crack around the damned head right from the start... well one did the other I sorta ballsed up with BUT I was still right to take them to task!!! strewth if some wakker comes on an says all flamin namby bloody pamby "first post here Ive been lurkin for some yonks so be kind gentle and nice to me" and gets a slap upside his/her flamin noggin for bein a total wakker then makes a comment like "oh you mean person why do you not like me" WELL FLAMIN WELL STICK A BLOODY JELLY BEAN UP YER SNOTTER SONSHINE CAUSE YOUR GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE!

Strewth... first IF and I do say bloody IF some wakker has been lurking for any length of time one day a month a bloody year whatever!! then they will KNOW what that sort of cruddy entrance cops... they would KNOW!!

So what? they reckon cause theyre makin their first bloody post that theyre bloody special? BULLBLASTEDSHYTE!! just waltz in and say "gidday Ive been a lurker but now Ive seen the bloody light and wanted to say gidday now stick that up yer flamin jumper an chuckle on it yer drongos" strike me roan its not bloody hard

I personally dont take many people to task... well excluding Cliffy but thats okay cause hes me mate :; an Christopha cause hes a damned giant wombat an puttin yer noggin in a bucket of cats phiss wont work with that one Im tellin yer! so yer just dig yer damned heels in an tell him whats bloody what! and he settles down... easy as really... oh an I reckon ol Wendy is fair game too but thats just cause I can flirt with her an her little boofhead cant do buggar all about it... cause theyre in flamin Queenys land :U

nah sometimes some just ask... no thats wrong they BEG for a blasting... and I reckon its our Aussie duty to give it to em full blast all cannons firin... just let er rip sonshine... they will either take it on the chin... blast back... or run away sookylalaing all the way to mommys apron strings :roll: but either way sorts em out eh! :; If they take it on the chin in good humor then theyre okay in us Aussies book... if however they blast back and give as good as they get then again theyre okay in us Aussies book... BUT heaven help any halfassed welp of a pussylivered little chookpoop that runs sookylalaing to mummys apron strings!! :~

Hey its an Aussie thing :roll: and they love it!! Must do cause they keep on tossin up that damned dumbass stupid line in their "first post be nice to me" shirtliftin way :doh:

As for this statement by Groggy...

The ones to watch are those that don't seek group approval, they usually know themselves and what they can do, and go about their business fairly quietly

Some of us dont need want or encourage group approval... to right we dont!! who gives a flyin rats bum what anyone else thinks about us? strewth you have to be kiddin right?... And yet some of us go about our business with as much noise energy and vibrancy to make it clear even to a dead dog that we are definantly ALIVE and BREATHING!! With some of those so called "quiet ones" its debatable if theyre either

Life is energetic vibrant raging and exciting!! its passionate its emotional its full of proverbial vim and vigor!! ITS ALIVE... do we come here to fall asleep? to sit quietly and say sweet buggar all about anything? do we come here to make a small comment here and there but give no meat no substance no laughter no passion for what we all do? well okay some of us do... but others well others are just manic enough to be alive and although having buggar all to prove or seek approval of anyone just cant help but be excited and passionate in their contributions

mmm or is that just me? ah well never mind shes all good :2tsup:

But for the love of BEER kindly stop makin me out to be a meanassed monster of a forumite... Im not!! Im a lovable friendly wee fella :;

One really should not take the words "Wild" and "Dingo" literally and infer that there is any connection with rabies or other anti-social behaviour. Give the guy a chance to show how cuddly he is.... :2tsup: Its the modern way. What would Ghengis Khan make of 21st century society? I guess he'd attract a social worker or three pretty quick.

Some Dingo's look cute (:no:not this one)
some are even kept as pets, but just in case always be prepared to put the boot in...............just remember it was a Wild Dingo that took wee Chamberlin attacked people on Frazer Island steel your grub when your fishin, sleepin.

Dingo makes my day long lines of drivel...........if he was in the pub he'd have everyone in stitches...........either from fits of laughter of fists of fury......... he has to protect his new hat somehow.

These blokes are open honest and even thoughtfull why look they even thought of Woodworkers With Disabilities http://www.woodworkforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=142 but seeing as many of us are dyslexic its not being used.

Some may be even ignored, insulted, disgusted but never be affraid whimpy or run back to mother.

[Bob38S]

Geez Dingo,

One of your better efforts, pass the tissues as I still mopping up some tears from the laughter.

As to the question posed - I tend to ignore the "be easy on me" etc as I think that some of the previous lurkers have read many of the new posts and possibly see this as some sort of greeting as it appears so often. I don't think we have a problem in this regard.

What I would like to see more of with the new posters is follow-up from them to the questions posed - it would be nice to know if the suggested fixes worked for them. I would also like to see more of what they could bring to the table for us all to learn from - let's face it, there are many ways of solving a problem and I have learned that sometimes the jig or method I consider as simple or old hat can be of use to others.

Regards,
Bob

To All,

my deepest apologies, this is my 4th post and gosh, I forget to put the standard phrase in my first post.

any lurker (and I was/am one) would have seen that most of the people who have passed comments on this thread have also asked questions or for help which just goes to show "You" are not perfect, but for some the near perfect is still intimidating.

So all I suggest is that before handing out the jelly beans, give a thought to where the other person is coming from.

Fletcher,

you, or nobody else should have to apologise for asking questions, I dont, and Ive asked some that I realised were really dumb once I knew the answer. We are all in the same boat learning off each other, some of us have very thick pelts and can laugh at ourselves, thats all. As for perfection, well when I get to see it I will let you know. I havent seen it yet, seen a lot of skill and knowledge, but no perfection.

You may want to pretend that you are reading correspondance from the 14thC about the veracity of burning witches as opposed to drowning them, its only words on a page...

Sebastiaan
(prefers burning because of the smell)

[fletcher]

Sebastiann,

Thanks.

By the near perfection comment, I meant that some people aren't confident in themselves enough....that's not the case with me as I know I make mistakes.

Interesting choice...burning or drowning....in this world environment, keeping mind everyone concerned about the quality of the air, I'd probably go with drowning, if we weren't in a drought and had enough water.

Sooo Fletch me ol sock what have you got against jelly beans eh? innocent little suckers are jelly beans so whats up with them?... maybe youve had one shoved up yer snotter an it got stuck givin you a brain phart... if so I can understand your comments having been in the same boat once or twice meself... you know only one jelly bean really isnt that hard to cope with its when a whole flamin bucket of the damned things end up both nostrals that you have some serious issues with jelly beans :C

As for sticking your chin out... well thats okay if your into getting whacked but not so smart if its a glass chin which is yet to be seen if yours is indeed a propa chin or just a glass one an oooh so fragile

Now me I really dont give a flyin rats bum where someones coming from really no Im serious I dont care!! But then I also dont give a flyin purple rats date what people think of me either but thats just me... Im kinda like that :; ...BUT MATE If you or anyone else has got questions dont hessitate dont namby pamby footsys about with it ASK THE BLOODY QUESTION!!... I mean if at the end of the day you look like a goose with its flapper shoved up its anul passage then more power to you ...you by the way would not be alone since at one time or another here we have all looked like a goose with its flapper shoved up the proverbial clacker

See really mate its not a matter of how many posts youve made... its that your HERE that matters!!... lurkers are just as important to the forum as Christopha is... and as dramatically important as he is hes just like anyone else here... he gots a question he asks!!! me Im always askin questions always askin for advice and often ask other buggars to do stuff for me cause Im a lazy sod an theyre bloody fair dinkum forum legend hotshots :2tsup:

Like Martrix and the sketchup thing or Bob an his alaskan mill makin thing I mean Im happy to buy one from them but make it?? GIVE ME A FLAMIN BREAK!! I mean Ive got a life here!!! Im tryin to get me knee bone back in order so I can get back to work Im tryin to flog a house an buy a new one Ive got 8 flamin kids along with their partners and a couple of grandhoons IM TRYIN TO BUILD A BLOODY BOAT by cripes!! that along with a major mess of other stuff... and we all know Martrix an Bob have buggar all to do with their days... I mean look at Bob wanderin around the Europe place for weeks at a time bloody old jetsetter ...he could be makin me a flamin alaskan mill!!! but is he? noooooo hes off wanderin the weird countries overseas isnt he!... and Martrix is he makin me a diagram of the damned mobile bases I need? IS HE??? EH??? no hes sodding well not!! damn but lifes hard I tell yer :doh:

BUT!! What Im gettin at is IF I dont ask then whos gonna know eh? I mean if I dont ask then sure as shyte neither buggar will make me either will they cause they wouldnt know would they no of course not but if I ask well then it gives em a chance to choose to make me one doesnt it... gawd Im so friggin nice it hurts sometimes :U

And another thing!!! Sometimes its a good thing to ask a question of the board simply to have the answers ON THE BOARD... cause of those lurker fellas you know? so they dont have to shiver shake quake in their booties about having to come out of the woodwork and actually... gasp... shock... horror... ask a question!... I recall doing just that once and it invoked a major discourse on the pros and cons of a particular thing that I already had one method of doing... so it gave me more ways of skinnin that particular cat AND it gave the lurkers some answers to question that may have been bugging them... damn I told yer I was friggin nice!! SEEE!!!!! :doh:

As to perfection... well mates perfection is a state of mind its not a reality... no one and nothing is ever perfect just close to it is all... me Im no where flamin near perfect IM A LONG LONG LONG WAY FROM IT!!! and hope the hell I stay that way too!! Who in the wrong mind wants to be perfect?? strewth what a thought :roll: strive for perfection by all means but know its unattainable and so be happy with what you end up with cause if you strive for perfection you know its gonna be the best you can do... and that mate is more than anyone can ask for! :2tsup:

AND to be pedantic with you... you have now made 6 posts!! go steady ol mate other wise you will be like us mob!! :o

Questions? Ive got so many questions it makes Neil and Robbos heads hurts... which is good cause then my head doesnt have to hurt... share the love man!:q

8. "Honey, im going shopping, and i have your credit card"
9. Jennifer Hawkins about to discipline you with a wet stick of celery (whoops wrong list thats supposed to be on the 'my favorite dreams list')

Now here I could just plain assume some slight against meownself with your words... but as were both aware to assume is to make an ass out of u and me and that just wont do!!... soooo Im gonna be nice an ask what you mean by that comment ol so on

See my view is that there are VERY VERY few posts on this forum the are not worth reading!! very few indeed... see all posts and all threads are for the most part purely informative entertaining educational and enlightening in their content and intent and rarely ever not worth reading for somewhere there will be something that is informative entertaining eductional and enlightening within them... so I have to ask what you mean by that comment

BEFORE I GET VIOLENT WITH THE DAMNED FREDDOS!... well Stus put the kybosh on the flamin jelly beans and a bloke has to use something that gets up there :roll:


And to be just as pedantic...it was 4 at the time...but the computer updates the stats.

Really Dingo....cruelty to Freddo....

As far as playing the "being a mate" tactic, you've seen through my cunning plan....by the way, which beer do you drink so I can ensure I have some in the fridge....and as I burn everything I cook on the bbq, you may have to take over this duty or drink more beer so you don't notice...your choice (as if I don't know which one already).

Now if we all leave Dingo alone he might get that boat finished and sail around OZ.......I reckon by the time he got 1/4 of the way he'd change his handle to "The Drunken Sailor" with all the BBQ's n Beer he'd be invited too.

But if he was a real salty I thought he'd preffer a saltys drink RUM.

[Christopha]

Strewth youse blokes!!! You have got to be incredibly brave or amazingly foolish to provoke the Dingo in this way. Have visited Dingo Downs and been wecomed into the Casa del Shane after prostrating myself humbly at his feet multitudinous times I can say that he is a positive mountain of a man, he would make Arnie look like a 20lb weakling and he has a tightly controlled ferocity about him that it is terrible to behold. If it were ever to be unleashed, even just a fraction of it, then the consequences would be too terrble to contemplate! For Gods sake fellows, be afraid! VERY VERY AFRAID!!!!!

[Wild Dingo]

Chris me ol cobblerone what have I told yer about drinkin that cats phiss over there? PUT THE DAMNED BUCKET DOWN... see that was one of the things I warned you about Bidgy didnt I warn yer eh didnt I?? Now look at yer! guzzlin that cats phiss by the bloody bucket :doh:

But yer right as always yer daft chromed domed galah... I am quite the freindly chap once the appropriate actions are taken by those visiting or wanting to visit the shed.. and as you were so grovellingly good at it to even make the missus approve your welcome remains firmly open!... But dont make the appropriate grovelling actions an noises an heaven help yer!! By gar I can get downright cranky... spittin chips even! :~

Now on that note yer bloody boofhead what was the name of those damned
chisels you told me to get hold of?... mmm I gots this woodworking show happenin in a few days time and well Im gettin ready to BURN THE CC with a vengence unknown to man or beast before this time... SHE the dopey other halve has FILLED IT!! ooooooooooh yeah!!... actually theres this Lucas mill for sale in Mandurah Im sorta thinking about getting a damned good price it is too...

ANYWAYS stop bloody distractin me yer walkin pile of wombat droppins!! ...I gots freddos an jelly beans to shove in places no self respectin freddo or jelly bean is meant to travel!! :~

RIGHT!!! Rum... aaahhh the delusional inducing properties of the glorious brew of Neptune... yes... oooh right rum... I enjoy a long drop of the good stuff no wukkers but see again IM bein bloody nice here... Rum by its nature is dear but when drunken to the excesses a true skippa hat wearin capn such as yer own good mate here drinks it would cause such as many of the namby pampy cherry beer drinkin sookylala landlubbers here to give birth to a gaggle of pink pussys... I do like me RUM... but sadly none can hold a candle to stay upright long enough to keep me company when Im in me straps so I as always be nice and suggest BEER which can be as long as its not that cats phiss ol Chris is partial to Southwark or that Tooheys Extra Dry strained dogs crap or Emu Export that emu and roo roadkill juice... is a good drop... NOT as good as RUM but good none the less

Funny thing with RUM and other spirits Ive only ever been able to get RUM past me tongue... doesnt matter what other spirit tries to get down there it comes flyin back up... but RUM RUM just swirls around the gob and trickles nicely down the throat to land swimmingly in the pit of the belly... RUM IS GOOD

Mind you its also known to make sparrows fight emus... which is possibly when Ive been known to fly across a bar from time to time... its also known to induce the drinker of copious amounts into believing that the bigger they are the harder they fall... a fact counter acted by a BEER drinking mate who proved that the smaller that one is the further that one can fly... and hence the many dents in the many hostillery walls and doors around this country that Ive visited

Cruelty to freddo?? STREWTH!!! Bloody hell first its that doyen of Japanese googoo dolls yellin about cruelty to jelly beans and now yer wafflin on about cruelty to bloody freddos??? STRIKE ME ROAN YER FLAMIN WOMBAT!!! I was bein nice here I mean I could have used "cobbers" or those ROCK HARD lollies!! I was bein friggin nice :roll: bloody pc police get me every friggin time... Whats wrong with usin freddos? eh? Id only ever use the caramello freddos so they get all squishy an sticky an stuck to the nostral hairs an snot... not a hard one that gets jammed edgewise an has to be drilled out with a jackhammer!! whats wrong with yous mob!!!

BEER? Carlton Cold or Crownies will do this little black duck mate... make sure theyre friggin cold too!! Nothin worse than bein offered a hot beer on a hot day... sigh dont yer hate that?

Okay what else... Oh the boat... now the boats been an issue with me for some years now Ive got a 12 year old son who was born about the time I decided it had to have at least one sail... so its been awhile in the coming eh Chris? :U But Im hopefull that Ive finally decided... her bloody highness has dictated from somewhere that I can only have 1 more set of plans and no more books and then I had better start building before I get that old I cant phart properly... so Im deciding... I think if I can find a way to get hold of him and the plans quicker than 6 months Id like to go with Phil Bolgers St Valery Luggar design... Im really taken with her... but if that doesnt happen for whatever reason I will probably no definantly go with GlenLs Noyo Trawler design for some serious fishin (hold of 140lb!!! thats some days fishin!!)

heres a couple of pics first is St Valery
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4dc05b3127cce9b837a0f8e3f00000015108AZMnLNy2ctL

and Noyo Trawler
http://www.glen-l.com/designs/workboat/workboat-images/dsn-noyb.jpg

St Valery is purely cruisin but with a huge cabin space its design is seriously DIFFERENT as is usual for Bolger... 24ft LOA with water ballast and almost flat bummed one of the interesting things with her is the massive rudder and centreboard way up front... mmm I certainly am taken with her

Noyo is 24ft as well but more workboat with a huge hold for 140 cubic foot of FISH!!!... I actually would like this one cause between me an Chris and a couple of others we know where there are some EXCELLENT fishing grounds a bit of a drive to some of them but shes towable so no wukkers

So presently aside from Bolger not having internet or any way of contact other than fax or snail mail and as yet its unknown how he likes to be paid for the plans... its really down to choice of pleasure boat or work boat

But shes stated "One and one only then you MUST start building it!! OR you just build one of the others you have somewhere in the shed" Im no longer interested in the others out there!! I want BOTH OF THESE not just one... strewth hows a bloke supposed to decide without them bein in front of him eh? VISUALS WOMAN!!! :~

Anyways!!... whens Goolwa? Im gonna try for that roadtrip... probably one me patmalone since she will have her macmansion by then so she wont want to travel far :; thank gawd!!! :2tsup:

[Wild Dingo]

oh the barbie... no wukkers mate just step asside an let an heckspert at it!! :U yous young fellas gots no idea about barbies anyways :roll:

A few hints before I make my way over alright?
Dig the hole now!
Gather the fire rocks now!
Gather some banana leaves about a day before I lob oh you can start the fire to burnin them rocks about then too okay
Make sure the steaks are at least an inch thick none of those thin pussy steaks by gawd
Better get some roo in too eh? me an me offsnider young Chris we like roo we do
Oh an mangos!! gotta have mangos at a barbie!!

Did I mention a ute or trailer load of BEER?... well thats for while were cookin better have anothery ready for aftas!

And remember I come armed with caramellow freddos an jelly beans!! I AM NOT PC!!

HEY!! Yer in Queenys land aintcha! BEAUWDY!! Give the leatherette wearin one an her wee boofheaded other half a hoi cause I just gotta meet her... just to show her what shes missin!! :q Oh better get Cliffy an Midgey a hoi to... ah buggar it give all the banana benders a hoi may as well have a big bash as a bash at all I reckon... but your shout remember!! :doh: YOU INVITED ME so you shout!!! :2tsup:

[fletcher]

RIGHT!!! Rum... aaahhh the delusional inducing properties of the glorious brew of Neptune... yes... oooh right rum...

BEER? Carlton Cold or Crownies will do this little black duck mate... make sure theyre friggin cold too!! Nothin worse than bein offered a hot beer on a hot day... sigh dont yer hate that?

Dingo,

...RUM or Beer, just let me know when you're getting here and which one you'd prefer....but if we're getting the "gang" together...beer it will be.


Cruelty to freddo?? STREWTH!!! Bloody hell first its that doyen of Japanese googoo dolls yellin about cruelty to jelly beans and now yer wafflin on about cruelty to bloody freddos??? STRIKE ME ROAN YER FLAMIN WOMBAT!!! I was bein nice here I mean I could have used "cobbers" or those ROCK HARD lollies!! I was bein friggin nice :roll: bloody pc police get me every friggin time...

Now I hadn't realised just how much of a considerate bloke you were. The time spent considering all of the possibilities and consequences...."stuck to the nostral hairs an snot"...so against my better judement, I guess I'll have to let you have the freddos.


Okay what else... Oh the boat... now the boats been an issue with me for some years now .....Phil Bolgers St Valery Luggar design... Im really taken with her...

The St Valley Lugger looks like a fine lady of the sea....but that's my opinion (not being a sailor...just one of those land lubbers you mentioned).

Okay, now it is my turn to be insulted....

Dingo...you are truely amazing...you can take offence at having jelly beans removed from your arsenal, but I can't be insulted at having being told that it is my shout! An Aussie bloke should not have to be reminded of his obligations, especially when it comes to "his shout".
I invited you and offered to have the beer ready for you...do you take me for one of those namby pamby blokes who ducks out of the pub when it is his shout!

Shes right mate... dont worry if I come a waltzin over the nullanboor to visit I will come bareing gifts of the BEER sort... never go avisitin without some sort of gift... usually some wood or veneer or some such but always with a gift to share... tis me way is all... an I dont ever expect nothin in return neither cause Im the visitor see an its me duty to give to me hosts something to make the time more enjoyable one way or t'uther

So what I'll do is bring a cartoon of the finest West Aussie brewskys an maybe even a bottle or two of our fine liquid amber juices from down the road a bit... gotta go through the vine country to get over that way anyways so may as well pick up a few boddles of woobly as gifts... mind you I best get that new ute and hoist the trailer behind cause thats a long LONG trip over the nullanboor to meet up with yous mob and I do get THIRSTY!!

My thoughts on this matter is that this thread ended up in general woodwork due to a glitch within the system that knows when a thread of such wonderously of note to all forumites appears no matter where on the board the glitch grabs it and puts it where most forumites will see it :2tsup:

Sorta like the code of practice eh? :;

Now yer a true blue ridgey didge flamin legend me shortassed mate an thats a fack!... but in this yer seriously bein UNfair dinkum :no: ... an that me wee boyoh is a sad sad thing :C

Now we all know that humor is the best medicine for whatever ails yer... an in this regard this thread CANNOT be regarded as "drivel... drivel bein a rather derogitory term which as you no doubt know me ol sock is not what this thread is about... no indeed tis not at all drivel... no not even in the slightest could this be construded as drivel... tis a foine foine thing we do when we in our bestest manner without fear or favor nor with malice or abuse do bring to all an many the ability to smile laugh and find good cheer... all the while edjoomakatin an eludicatin on all sorts a stuff... and such is this thread!! :2tsup:

Tis fer sure a sad day for the forum when such a foine wee thread as thisun is delegated to the shytepile of threads termed "drivel"... and a sad sad day indeed for the forum when a single or a few wee perhaps (I will say this fast so no one really notices its okay Im good like that! nice you know :;) annullyrententivenohumor fellas can have a whinge and complain and get a foine foine wee thread such as this be taken out and buried an ignoble death not worthy of such a thread.

me ol mate me cobber of renown me china plate!! MA MA MAAATE!! relax yerself an enjoy the friendly banter for in reality within the many layers of the forum and within the context of the amount of bandwidth such a foine wee thread as this would take amounts to perhaps enough to cover a gnats bum... tis a wee thing... but still an all mate it does many some real good

For isnt life itself full enough with serious stuff? Isnt the forum full enough of serious stuff of what we love? surely then even one such as you can see the worthyness of this wee thread???

Ye weilder of the bloody great thread axe ye god of belting down of threads ye harranger of drivel ye minder of the forums virtues ye... ahh shut up Shane yer sound like yer brown nosin there!... mmmm... okay do what yer will belt it go on!!

WHY DOES HUMOR HAVE TO BE RELEGATED TO A JOKE THREAD?? I mean theres humor in EVERY SINGLE THREAD on the flamin board IF you choose to see it... but no something like this is delegated as "drivel" or in need of being sent to the joke thread... :roll:

Sorry to disappoint you, WD, but I happen to fully agree with you, in principle. I could have written the same words quoted above. The problem is, and I am sure you can see it too, that what I found humorous (hence my :D ) you found too serious (hence your :~ ). And what I, you or others consider humorous can be taken by others to be inappropriate. Hence the need for the umpire to sort out the mess. It is a thankless job but somebody has to do it, and the players need to respect this.:)

To do his job effectively, hovever, the umpire has to show respect for the players also. Whatever he says is inappropriate goes, but to call inappropriate content "drivel" is uncalled for.

Throughout the English speaking world (Macquarie and Webster's repeat exactly the Oxford dictionary's definition) drivel means "childish or idiotical talk". Which means that applying this word to a person is defamation unless it can be proven that that person has an IQ lower than Forrest Gump. As the owner of this forum quite rightly says, going through the courts is not fun for anybody. Let's hope that this word is not used again, for everybody's sake.

[Wood Butcher]

We are not umpires! This is not a democracy and if someone from the administration team of this forums makes a decision it is final.

If someone wants to take the definition of drivel to the extreme and claim it is derogatory then I suggest that they spend some time looking up meanings of other words in use. There are hundreds of words in common use today that someone may consider offensive, but the simple fact is that 99.9% of people do not have the same opinion.

Just for clarification, if you look up the dictionary for childish :"Indicating a lack of maturity" & idiotic: 'Insanely irresponsible', so therefore by substitution of meaning you get drivel means: "talk which is indicating a lack of maturity or insanely irresponsible" :D

I think that is spot on!

Throughout the English speaking world (Macquarie and Webster's repeat exactly the Oxford dictionary's definition) drivel means "childish or idiotical talk".

As the owner of this forum quite rightly says, going through the courts is not fun for anybody. Let's hope that this word is not used again, for everybody's sake.First, there are seven meanings for "drivel" in the Macquarie dictionary, not just one.

For someone to be accused of "drivel" does not mean they are being called a child or an idiot. That is offensive to the administrative team and misrepresenting our approach. The administrative team have more respect for the general membership of these forums and I for one take offence at you inferring we are calling them idiots. Your statement is both misleading and inaccurate. Misleading because the administrative team are not defaming the membership, and inaccurate because the use of the word drivel does not connote the person is an idiot.

This forum is for feedback, suggestions and discussion on the forums, it is not the place for inaccurate and inflammatory comments.

[Frank&Earnest]

Wood Butcher, Groggy

I am saddened that my conciliatory approach was taken in such an antagonistic way. Would it not have been a much more productive way to just let this go and quietly use a less inflamatory word? Why am I inflamatory and not you? If you were really dealing with some immature and irresponsible people, as you seem to believe, do you really want to push some of them to the point where they want to take you to court? Do you think that that would be a desirable outcome even if you win? If you think I am talking without sufficient expertise, why don't you consult a lawyer before jumping at the deep end? Only trying to help here, but some people only seem to learn the hard way.

[ubeaut]

The meaning of the word DRIVEL in the context of these forums is the one taken directly from the Concise English Dictionary as follows:
drivel 1 n silly nonsense. 2 v.i. talk silly nonsense, run at mouth or nose.

I will also accept this definition from <cite>WordNet&#174; 3.0, &#169; 2006 by Princeton University.</cite>
drivel noun a worthless message

In the context of these forums NO OTHER MEANINGS for the word drivel are accepted or implied.

A driveler by definition, for these forums is: one who talks silly nonsense, posts worthless messages or runs at the mouth. NO OTHER MEANINGS for the word driveler are accepted or implied.

In short if you wish to run at the nose, do it whenever or wherever you like, preferably with a tissue or handkerchief close at hand.

If you want to drivel do it in the Drivel Forum where you can type silly nonsense and worthless messages till you're fingers seize up or the drivel forum mob get sick of you.

Not happy with these definitions?

Get over it or leave.
