More than half the posts in this thread are totally nonsensical and irrelevant.
I understand this thread is in the "Kopitiam", and some frivolity may be tolerated. But more than half the posts with stupid "wise" cracks?
What's wrong when you meet someone in the thread and joke for awhile? Does it really sound stupid? Are our interaction sounds stupid? Can you at least at some point respect our humour for awhile. If TS doesn't like it, when he voice out, I will first to stop. Thank you.
Coming back the the issue, I believe this things happen because the admin and mods have allowed it.
For example, not withstanding the rule on "nice and civil", many are flouting this rule in the name of being honest and direct.
I believe some of those who are 'nasty' and 'bad' in the forum are nice in person when you met on the other hand, some of so called behaving like gentlemen or god in the forum are 'liars and hypocrates' (I say some I met).
Another example, OT posts, such as those in the thread, are again tolerated to such ludicrous extent that it seems pointless to get mambers to engage in a topic that is of genuine concern to some members.
What do you want to engage in?
