Ian C Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've seen this a lot lately and I have a theory "Witchhunt" seems to be the current in-phrase meaning "I disagree with you all despite being faced with your experience and logic but can only deal with this by yelling an emotive term I know nothing about." Discuss, and please vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Would this be related to the syndrome some people suffer from which causes them to cry "Keyboard Warrior" or "Keyboard Terrorist" when they are losing an argument? I love the "Keyboard Warrior" defence; you just know it's all over bar the whining when they roll that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 It appears to be Jake, it appears to be People who get called up on bullshot and so forth and havent got the mental "guns" to defend themselves (or, in fact, to not post bagshot in the first place) so they go "Keyboard warrior!" immediately assuming that a) the person writing it is short, fat, socially inadequate and a weed, and b) they could "f'kin 'ave 'em!!" or something in a physical confrontation. Hilarious. People call you it and you're a huge bloke who's tasty with a baseball bat -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Lets just say this forum wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't for people questioning things and discussing their own opinions on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 People just don't get dry humour these days. I mean, in the good old days anyone who reposted or said anything stupid would get a bit flamed and then laugh. People get all uppity far too quickly. Blah.

keancy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 People get all uppity far too quickly. Blah. It is true, some people take things to heart to quickly but other times someone posts something that is a genuine concern to them and they get crappy answers rather then help.

It's like lighting a touch-paper. The reaction is always strong and I think it really adds to the character of the place. As for new members, meh. We were all new once. Get over it. This is a well established forum and one of the best I've had the privilage to be a member of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
