Disappointing Start I have only been on this site for a few days, and so far it has been somewhat disappointing. When I saw the app advertised I thought, this could be a good place to write a few blogs and hopefully make new friends who have similar interests to me, and upon posting my first blog, I received comments which were insulting, I thought this app was for civilised human beings where everyone could get along and help each other, but no, I have now realised that people on here are the same as everywhere else. I don't want to be subject to insulting comments from narrow minded individuals, this will be my shortest blog as I feel that I need to get my point across, as some of you have been vile to me in the short time I have been on here.

So calling someone a bellend in response to a witty observation on your opening post is perfectly reasonable?... Jog on

@JoeyGiroud You should stay, although I don't think there was any need to call blindsilence a bellend - however, I am enjoying your posts and if you're a bit nicer to people then you will start to fit in. Burrfoot was only defending one of his friends (fellow writers)

I don't need people mocking and taking the piss, so if people could stop then yes fine

But I have to say, name calling is rather childish and petty - considering you're nearly at uni and supposed to be acting a little more mature now. You'll soon find you won't get anywhere in life with that attitude toward people who criticise you.

@Burrfoot Also, I don't think there was any need to retaliate back - you should have just let it blow over (blindsilence wasn't that bothered anyway) ð¬

You R an amazing writer. And who cares what people say unless its like against your family and race. Sorry didn't mean for that to be coming out rude. But i get what people do. Its there opinion. Not yours. Yours is the one that counts. Remember that.

@jonester I stopped biting my tongue a long time ago and found the remark shockingly offensive, ride and deliberately provocative.. Especially when his bio said 'not one to shy say from confrontation' and something along the lines of inviting readers to enter into debate about his posts content.. Then to feign upset is just blah blah blah.. But as ever it made me chuckle.

*rude not ride.. And the invite to debate in the bio has since been deleted

Two final points about it.. 1/ there's a line in the opening post 'for some reason we can not play in the rain' which infers the authors can't fully understand why that should be and probably does it agree with it.. So to extrapolate that sentiment into a joke is hardly offensive.. 2/ to reply with a personal insult in a maiden comment speaks volumes and is an attitude that will not serve the author well when trying to ingratiate himself into new groups in a university environment..

*doesnt agree with it ð

@Burrfoot tbh the way I read the whole situation was that 'for some reason...' implies that Joey is serious about cricket and would therefore happily play in the rain but is not permitted by the club which constantly stops play for rain. That would therefore imply that @blindsilence comment about hobbies and sports was a little irrelevant as it is not the author that chooses to stop playing for the rain. Yes the comeback was insulting rather than intelligent but that is not a reason to insult in return. You could have politely pointed out the error of his ways without resorting to showing yourself in a bad light. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

@emmahine yip he would probably play in the rain, hence I deduced that he doesn't agree with whatever rule that prevents him from doing so.. Are we really saying that extrapolating that to a joke which maybe 'a little irrelevant' about a sport merits personal name calling as a response? Replying to a personal insult does without doubt deserve personal insult, but if you check the only personal insult I used was to reuse the originals 'bellend' comment. The rest was behavioural observation and corrective suggestion. Intolerance of the intolerable is not being intolerant.. And my light shines bright ð¡

If you can't take a joke about a sport you can't play when it is a bit wet outside then you will not last long here when people will be responding to and critiquing your work or posts seriously. I don't want you to leave Opuss but seriously bro, grow some testicles and try not to take things too seriously.

Also, calling me a bellend was a bit harsh.
