I've noticed over several threads recently that the trend seems to be heading in the direction of personal insults.

I realize that in a Forum such as this, emotions can run pretty high, but is it necessary to label people and insult them?

We don't have to agree with each other but can't we all examine our attitudes and agree to disagree?

OLO is a place were we just put our thoughts. That's the respected.

All the best.

Foxy I would not be to worried, from where I stand it is just playful banter.

Foxy
It is just playful banter!
EasyTimes, I found something to agree with you!

Foxy it is not a bit unlike what we Aussies are like in real life.
Even the bitchiness can be found in any workplace.
Not a doubt at all I am one of the worst , no do not think it will hurt my feelings it is true.
But research threads years old look closely at the birth of some of todays differences.
Read every post in threads you get involved in ask why some barge in off subject if not to serve up some verbal tennis.
While I can serve it up to my party and union movement too some just can not .
But take any weekend any sport and watch us stir one another last weekend my mate played my brothers team manly vs the dogs, some one just had to get tickled its the Aussie way.
