Just because its said as "you're talking bollocks" or "you're talking crap" doesn't it in my opinion make it any worse than "the sugar coated" versions. Putting people down for their opinions without name calling and by carefully chosing your words, so it doesnt look so bad ( but seems a lot can still see past that) doesn't make it ok.
I see where your'e coming from on this statement. When people sugar coat their words it is sometimes hard to determine just exactly what they mean. And it is a lot easier to say 'you're talking crap' than mince your words and make it sound nicer, and I'm not saying thats OK but I have to disagree. As I believe its better to mince your words (in an unbiased way) so as not to offend the person youre talking to instead of just hitting them with insults and profanities, it also makes for a more readable forum, that way you can disagree with someone without taking the 'I'm right you're wrong' stance. But , I guess the best thing to do would be 'If you have'nt got anything nice to say then take some time out to calm down and re read what you think may have been wrong' Try to see other points of view And please Don't take that as me saying 'don't post on the board'
Please don't be offended by anything I have written.
