I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I don't want this to turn into an everyone slag Ali off thread.... As I don't think it would be fair.

Ali - I think you don't come across very well on your posts alot of the times. I'm sure you find it funny, but writing a comment on an internet board provides no real way of showing how the post was meant by the poster.

As a result you come across as a PIA - perhaps more often than you would think. But we all have said things which we have either regretted after or have been taken not as they were meant to...

On the flip side I do think that some of the comments you make are very nice and upbuilding.

But it does seem as though there are almost two Ali's posting sometimes...

Ali - I honestly hope that helps provide an insight of somekind, it was written to be positive and I hope thats how it comes across.

Tall no offence taken mate, and yes i now what i can be like at times. Obviously im refering to the picture threads and not the snyde comments that a certain person keeps making with respect to me, im the sort that will stick up for me sim mate.

Ali M, I'll be the first to apologise if I have caused offence and in any way provoked you to act like a tool, however, my comments relating to you are as a direct result of your underhand and often disparaging comments on other threads - I can't explain, it just p1sses me off.

So, I'm sorry if I have offended you, I am not immature and recognise that I will react when I see others talked down to, it is not big or brave.

Totally agree with Nath here, isn't the whole point of the board to help each other, discus things etc. If someone posts a picture and asks for opinions then that view should be presented constructively.
Provided that critique is presented positively no one should go getting prissy about what has been said.
I’ve got to say though personally I’ve always found everyone to be supportive. Although I have seen some threads degrade into folks having a pop at each other. A bit like road rage it’s easy to act tough in a metal box or on the other end of an ADSL connection…

Also agree with PScarb anyone flaming anyone should be banned, one warning then out.

[FAT BOY]

it takes a lot to put your picture up for the world to see, while constructive critisism is a usfull tool. it only takes one sarcastic comment, to shatter what a person is trying to achieve.

[PScarb]

what would be a good thing would be those who have taken the p1ss should then post a pic of themselves on the board, if you are going to hand it out you must be prepared to take it as well...

I have to admit, i wouldnt consider posting pics on here at the moment.. not because im ashamed.. im very aware of my flaws and, (if i do say so myself lol) I'm making plenty of headway on them already.. Its not because of one specific member either - its more because every photo thread i have seen recently has been reduced to a school-like skit fest and thats just not my cuppa tea.

Its a bit of a shame really because the quality of the advice given on other subjects (from both the members and mods) can be outstanding.

That echos my sentiments entirely mate. Last time I posted pics here, I also posted them on two other forums and got some really useful input from the other sites that I took on board. I would definately do the same again. I wouldnt dream of posting them here again, whilst the present climate is like it is.

Its is a shame because this was the first board I ever joined and the advice and support was invaluable.
