Hostile People on the Message Board

678 343 July 9, 2004 at 01:47 PM
Have any of you noticed that there is a lot of hostility being posted on the message boards lately? The whole idea behind Slick Deals is for all of us to come together and help each other find great even free deals on items. None of the posts on this message board are made to anger or annoy anyone even though a lot of people post replys that convey this feeling. So what if someone posts a repost. I'm sure if they had seen it before they wouldn't have posted the message. And what is the big deal if someone puts 40% off and it's really "UP TO 40%" off. I mean some of the replys to posts now a days are just god awful. All of us are just doing our best to spred the deals we find, but the "Bite your head off" attitude when someone makes a simple mistake must stop. Is anyone else noticing this?

I don't think he was referring to what we all thought, Zanex.

Me, I prefer to be part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

You're too new to whine with 21 posts.

Leave it to the veterans to do the complaining.

Bah humbug.
