Can I apply for a job??

[bobleponge]

Here? Somehow?

I read a post this morning that absolutely infuriated me, as a Brit, I think I reached "ticked off" in the peeved stakes.

I crafted my reply, skillfully and with venom, but then realised that it would probably cause offence, was departing from the the OP's theme and was, in short, full of ire.

So I binned it.

Any self moderating jobs going spare??

[SarzWix]

LOL Well done mate, you can have a job as a self-moderator anytime you like

[Glutton4...]

LOL Spongey, I do it all the time. So do many others. Welcome to the self-mod club. No pay though!

[weekendwellies]

I often do that too.
I am curious now which one made you so angry.

[Jeanied]

You can have the job if you can give us an idea of what comes before and after "ticked off" in the Brit peeved scale!

[Paulottie]

Well done Bob.....wish I had learnt to keep my mouth shut/avoid vocalising inappropriate funny remarks....probably be head of the diplomatic corps by now.

Now I am really curious what made you full of ire.

[Paulottie]

You can have the job if you can give us an idea of what comes before and after "ticked off" in the Brit peeved scale!

Between 'Stiff upper lip' and 'Fat lip'?

I got sacked from the self moderating corps, it only causes ulcers so best say what you mean I say and blow the dissenters, hey they might hang you though if you admit to buying the DM.

[Nicos]

That'll be the newspaper thread then???

Well done matey!


(I'd like to nominate M Leponge for position of chief self mod for the Vine...hands up all those in favour????)

rest of the team to be made up of weekendwellies and Glutton

( the rest of us Paulottie must learn to sit on our hands!!!)


Here ya go Boble.....

[rustylady]

My rule has always been - If something makes you really angry compose a letter or an email saying exactly how you feel and what you think. Then go to bed and sleep on it. Re-read it and (probably or definitely) edit it before you send it.

[HayleyB]

Oooh, what upset our sweet Boble then??

[Pumpkin Becki]

I can't tell you how many post I have almost pressed 'submit' on and ended up pressing the 'back' button instead! Sometimes its because I have an opinion, but I think the thread is heading somewhere a bit volatile, or sometimes I think 'yeah, your feelings have already been voiced perfectly by someone else, leave it there'.

Nothing wrong in a bit of self moderating...now, do I press 'submit' or 'back'...decisions decisions!!

[Florence Fennel]

It is very difficult sometimes to keep your opinion to yourself so that you don't offend, especially when you sometimes see posts from people that don't mind offending! Not sure that makes sense now!

[HeyWayne]

Bob, you trying to do me out of a job?
