+1 Cammy!
It is this growing frequency of bad behavior that has me spending less and less time on any forums, as the lack of courtesy and common sense is sickening to see.
Its not necessarily an age thing, I think its the txt/facebook culture where anything goes frankly and no one bats an eyelid. I hear all sorts of things these days where Taboo has been replaced with F*ck u and with that is the "Open" txt bullying conversations that has begun with the young I suppose but now seems to turn 10,000 facebook friends into sexual/gender/power leverage.
How many times has anyone heard of someone bitching via facebook and drag the skeletons right into view for all to see and later you hear, some deal/relationship/Job/promotion etc somehow miraculously happens, when on the face of it, the person who started it should have by old skool been ostracised and made an outcast.
The clique has grown up and lives on the internet. Instead of round the beer table.
