Back To Board

Why the venom?

Posted By DaveF

I don't see anything in this train to warrant this kind of language and reply.

I think the impersonal nature of bulletin boards such as this can make us less polite than we are in face to face meetings.

My guess is that nearly all of us in PB could be very good friends if we met since the personality that brings us to like the game is probably pretty similar in all of us.

I know for myself I get really angry at times with some (perceived) stupid offers...but I have to confess, I've made some pretty stupid offers also and then on reflection realized I was trying a little too hard to get the upper hand.

I think we all do this to some extent or other.


Remember the guy reading your post can't see the smile on your face when you use sarcasm in a post.

I'm probably as guilty as anyone of posting messages that can be misinterpreted from what I meant. (Maybe this is one).

Sorry for the "preachy" thoughts, but this post bothered me because you sound like a sincere PB'er who I'd probably enjoy getting to know, but your post was pretty harsh.
