ASF Members: Going Troppo

[Putty7]

Hi explod, being new myself I can see your point with regards to newbies as I have made some pretty stupid comments here and there, but I try not to personally attack people and don't take offense to being given advice or having my wrongs pointed out, thats what I am here for, the question I pose is, if I could not comment and have my mistakes pointed out how would I learn and develop from the traders who have earned their stripes, I know the site is about more than that but I gain a lot from taking other peoples opinions on board and mixing them in with my own, it hopefully adds and broadens my perspective.

Yes .

It is currently 37 degrees , extremely humid and i do feel like choking the stuffing out of something .

Might have to walk away from the computer and go have a swim instead.

Thanks GG for pointing out it is the weather that is making me feel this way.

I haven't been slapped on the wrist for a while now , since I realised the people I was targeting are insane and I really should not make their lives worse.

The golden rule is never post while drunk. which restricts most of us to posting before noon unfortunately.

I have noticed the absence of several experienced, regular ASF contributors has corresponded with me reading that ASIC concerns re possible financial advice on forums, were being interpreted more strictly, and this may have affected a few posters.

I realise the Admin/mods would probably not feel they could confirm this, but perhaps they would be more free to refute it?

As to experienced posters getting sick of "muppets", I think they were used to it, muppet bashing was probably light relief:

Purely anecdotal, but I reckon there is more road rage when it is oppressively hot.

I reckon month after month without any rain is very crankiness-inducing.

 

[Julia]

And, just as some balance to our bringing up what annoys us, I'd like to say (hard to do without sounding soppy) that ASF has also represented to me a place where I've learned a huge amount, and made some really good friends.

I'll never forget the kindness of so many of you when my darling Libby died so suddenly two and a half months ago. Just can't tell you how much comfort you offered.

LOL!

Maybe it's the type of alcohol consumed, Beer v's Wine v's Bundy v's Bourbon. I can feel another study group comming on. Where do you get those grant applications? This could be big. I'll let you know when I need volunteers for the respective study groups.

That would need a further sub-study - particular alcohol-based beverage recepticles and their correlation with internet bravado.

I'm backing wine to show the largest ATRs; bags vs cans (yes, I've seen them) vs "mini-mole bottles" (very Spring Racing Carnival) vs 750ml bottles vs flagons.

Ask any school teacher if they like windy days. Apparently it's a well-known fact that people get a little loopy when it's windy. I have noticed recently that I'm definitely more irritable than usual if it's a windy day - probably the effect of the wind whistling in one ear and out the other.... It's especially bad when it's blowing a gale and there's been no rain for months - hell on the allergies.

If you're referring to the person I asked about in #9 then that is indeed a very significant loss for ASF!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about Tech/a ,he's probably holidaying in N.Z,and catching up with his old mate MONEY TREE

 

[justjohn]

But it's just not Tech/a where missing lately ,there's the likes of stirrers CHOPS A MUST,THE MINT MAN ,NIZAR and even labor loving 2020HINDSIGHT(rudd probably broke his spirit)Then there was BULLMARKET .The above mention would fire-up at a drop of a hat, entertain us all. 10s of 1000s 0f posts between them .Extremely passionate about certain topics ,all of a sudden goooonnnne .Where do they go?Do they come back as a newbie under another name?These fellas were enought to send us all TROPPO:screwy:But miss them

I wouldn`t include Nizar in there. He is an astute young man that is straight to the point, knows what he wants and goes about getting it in a determined fashion.

You must be a late starter! lol

 

[MrBurns]

You must be a late starter! lol

I prefer to wait till noon but then again it's always noon somewhere on the planet

 

[2020hindsight]

1. As a member of ASF who has had a number of infractions from Joe, I feel I am well qualified to comment on the heat that is present in many threads at the moment.
...
2. Is it due to the Weather.
Perhaps Global Warming, ( I jest. )

gg
1. Lol - you don't know the half of it
2. many a true word spoken in jest

The fact is this forum is not the same place as it was when a lot of the posters you mention first appeared...

...times have changed

So true. We used to have many interesting and thoughtful discussions, where contrary views were exchanged without aggression and rudeness.

Most of the people who contributed so greatly to those discussions have become fed up with the sniping and non-constructive attitudes that seem to prevail so often these days and they've simply left.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Its started again.

I cannot make head nor tail of the reason for some of the present tiffs and arguments on ASF.

It must be the weather.

People always go a bit troppo either side of christmas / NY
