Increase in aggression on Bluemoon?

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

I took a break from Bluemoon and deleted my account as I felt that the forum was becoming more and more aggressive in terms of confrontation and language. It seems a common behaviour online but until the last year I felt like Bluemoon was not that bad unlike Twitter and other social media. However reading the forum these past few months, the trend seems to getting worse. Everyone is a C*nt or Twa*t and a lot of posts just seem downright aggressive be it to other posters or the subject matter (I can understand in some instances and I am not totally innocent either). Maybe I am an old fart and don't get the whole online thing but I wish that posters would take a breath and think "would I say this in this manner in real life?" before posting. I will stick around for a bit but my enjoyment of Bluemoon is decreasing by the day.

A reflection of society in general really. Even more so online with the cliched but true, 'keyboard warriors'.

I don't like white sauce, it was ok at first but it seems to be getting less palatable. I stopped eating it for a while and when I thought it safe to give it another try it was just the same.

Stay away from the match day thread, politics and anything to do with the Smiths and you'll be alright.

Couldn't agree more mate,some right bell ends on the forum who definitely use it to say what they wouldn't elsewhere.
Thankfully they are a minority though,and best avoided/ignored.

Dint take it too seriously and use it for your gain,it will be a far more enjoyable experience as I found on my return (having left for similar reason)

And the good uns more than make up for the shit bags ;-)

You have a point. There's a minority on here who just seem to want to take up a contrary position to what other posters say. Which is fine, nothing in the rules against that. The place would be boring (well, more boring) if *everyone had the same opinion on everything.* The problem is that said posters are very strident in the way they put their opinions across. Calm, rational debate seems beyond them. The way of the modern world, possibly. More angry folk around these days.


*it'd make modding a piece of piss, though!
