hah ! - 'you wish' and 'not at all' - all Im suggesting is if people didnt see that your post was intended as humorous, there would be all out war, and thus there's a need for 'care'

OK. Chill. I deleted both the messages. I think I overreacted just as you did. Let's not start a profiling war.

PJ Arends wrote: There have been discussions about sex and religion and blatant personal attacks
I haven't noticed any about sex, but, given that sex is what most people think about for a large proportion of their time, you can expect it to be discussed -- and knee-jerk adherence to rules that go against human nature always ends up in an argument, which is far worse for the group than the occasional mention of sex.
The only discussion I've seen here about religion is about a spoof religion -- i.e. not a religion, so discussing it is not discussing religion. Two trolls did try to turn it into an argument about religion, but they were handled. Again, your posting is likely to cause arguments over this, so the only thing likely to do any damage to the group is your posting.
Apart from the troll issues, which were dealt with (by both personal attacks, which are well merited, and by "shunning"), I haven't seen any personal attacks -- and when I say that, I mean that statements like "I think you're an idiot" are not personal attacks, as such; they're contextual opinions, and it's how people talk.
A personal attack has malice behind it, and any malicious talk needs to be nipped in the but. But discussing opinions, including opinions about the people you are talking to, is not attacking anyone; it is discussing opinions.
BTW: Getting on a high horse about rules is more likely to increase malicious behaviour, rather than curb it.

Stop behaving like a troll, and we'll stop treating you like a troll.
Seriously. I could name two currently-contributing members who were dreadful trolls, in past lives. Now they just enjoy the Lounge (despite still pulling the googling in an effort to *win!* thing, now and then).
Stop the sht1, and people will stop disliking you.

Good advice Mark, you should listen to it.

You only get sht1 from me when you try to turn a discussion into a google "I Gotta Win!" fight. That ain't what people go to a Lounge for.
Especially when you google up totally inaccurate cr@p like Greek Frappe being French, and Italian (Gelato) Frappe being American; and talk about "stab mixers", which we ain't got in England (and which is probably a single word in German, but I ain't gonna google to check, because this is a discussion, not a google "I Gotta Win!" fight).
Don't expect people to be waste time on pleasantries with you when you pull that kind of google bullfactory.
Reasonable behaviour receives reasonable responses.

Its not about winning Mark, its about putting you right after you turned a discussion into an argument by acting like a jerk, as you usually do. Take your own advice.

Putting me right?
All I did was mention frappe, and you replied with this:
"Café Frappe sounds American and I have never seen these in the UK or France (or Luxembourg or Belgium for that matter"
So I (having drunk the damned things all over Europe) told you what a frappe is, and what a cafe frappe is, after which you googled (very badly, getting very incorrect results that claimed that frappe is an American invention) and started up with the "Oh, I've lived in France for years, so I know better than you what a frappe is!" bollocks.
If you can't talk to people without googling, try not talking at all -- and also try saying "Oh, I never knew that" instead of googling in an effort to get one up on the person you're talking to.
If you can't behave, why don't you just stay in the Soapbox and pound on about GW?

Yes, WITHOUT THE ACCENT!
Café frappé (WITH THE ACCENT) is French.

Talking about the 'frappe machine' you said YOU had. frappe machine - Google Search[^]
Which I HAVENT seen.
And no, you didn't tell me what a Café Frappé is, you linked to a Greek imitation created in the 50s, an imitation of the original French (and most probably Italian) drink which predates the Greek version by at least a century.
And no, you didn't tell me what a Caffé frappé is because I have drunk them often enough since I live in the South of France.
You really need to learn to understand what people write and not what you think they, or want to, write. Most likely you do this in order to create an argument just as you have done here. Take you own advice eh, and do yourself a favour.

A troll is someone who looks for arguments and confrontation. That will be you then Mark.

|
|
|

A troll is someone who keeps on and on and on trying to prove that they're right, even thought they've proven themselves wrong.
Me, I just don't run away from a fight.
Until it gets too boring to bother with, of course. Can't you google some new "evidence" to "prove" that you knew what frappes are?

Je sais bien 'frappé', j'en ai bu souvent. Mais, toi t'es un troll. C'est evident.

Plus, you being able to gargle such a viscous liquid is quite impressive.

He gets special allowance because he is a fellow countryman of Maunders and possibly a personal friend. Maunder does on occasion have to remind him to control his language, but as in all things, the rules are not applied evenly.
