    Default Are you part of the purple circle?

    I don't think I am.
    How about you?

    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    A purple circle is a colloquial term in Western Australia and I used it in the open slather where it wasn’t meant to be broadcast to the open forum. The context I used it was when a group of forum members collectively admonish a newbie for a bad post. The effect is that they cop a public reprimand as well as having their reputation points demolished. The result is a newbie who is usually trying to be accepted by the greater majority is totally embarrassed never to be seen again. My point was that let the punishment fit the crime and educate newbies rather than collectively pounce on them.
    The example I used was in the thread in the open slather forum where this all started. These were only my opinions and I could have it totally wrong.
    I find this thread offensive and have asked for it to be moved to the open slather. I see it as more of the same mockery that went on in open slather.
    Ok so that clears up what purple circle is and it would only relate to you when you use the letter “O”.
    Cheers,
    Rod

    What a strange attitude for the person who introduced the term in the first place.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
