| Re: Abuse Discussion
This forum, if I am right, started as a Cathouse forum where presumably most people knew each other. Therefore abuse and banter at the expense of each other was probably rife and understood by pretty much everyone. However, the forum is no longer a Cathouse forum or even a Glasgow forum. It is like suggesting that the Bamboo and Classic Grand nights Forbes runs are only for forumers signed up to Alternative Nation which I understand is far from the truth (and forumers attending are in the minority of the club goers). What passes as banter for some is misunderstood by others and Glasgow humour is also something not always understood from people not living in the city. Is it so hard to comprehend that maybe some of the banter here might be taken as unpleasant?
Personally I would not want to offend someone by throwing "banter" at them which was taken the wrong way and I certainly wouldn't use the defence that they didn't understand my funnies as an excuse for offending. Sometimes people just need to be a little more open minded on here and not assume that all new users will immediately understand the group dynamics and humour of the place. It takes very little to be courteous and thoughtful.
